Flat Repair Kit's
#11
Like the sticky rope plugs, cheap and very effective. I carry the CO2 cartridges for initial fill on a flat and a compact hand pump to finish.

how many pounds of air do you get out of 1 co2 cartridge?

I have a 2017 EX with laced wheels and inner tubes. My flat repair kit consists of a card with the phone number for roadside assistance. Undecided

I do have a Stop n Go mushroom plug kit for my other bikes and they work very well on tubeless tires. I, also, have used the kit more than once on SUV tires and it has worked, though using it on a steel-belted tire is more difficult than on a motorcycle tire.

how timely...went for a CB ride this morning. Came home for lunch, ate a sandwich, decided to go out for another ride, went out to the garage, and the CB had a flat rear tire. Nothing visible. Had to blow it up to find air hissing out. Small hole with nothing in it..About to go put a sticky rope in it. At least I found this flat in my garage with a full size air compressor to blow it back up lol.

Going to pick up a new mini (Dynaplug Mini) and flat kit and waffling between sticky ropes which I have used numerous times,"usually" with good luck, and the Stop and Go Mushrooms.

3 cartridges will get about 10-15 psi with the 16 gram size I think. Depends on the tire's volume of course.

after all considerations I ordered the small pump Ferret posted.
at 7 oz It was also the smallest I could find and will fit easily with plugs and tools in the Valkyries onboard storage . thanks for the suggestion Ferret

I carry a tie plug kit (Stop n Go mushroom plugs) and a Slime inflator in my tail bag in case I get something in my tire on the road. The CO2 kits are such a pain - 4 cartridges won't get your tire up to spec pressure, but will probably get you to the next gas station.

I was looking at that Slime inflator Pauley. Will that not fit under the seat?
