Hi all, new rider here, just got my full licence so now it's time to stop lurking and join in!

My instructor told me to buy a few essentials for the bike. I'm going to be going touring and looking at buying a few essentials. I need a bit of advice on puncture repair kits. Have any of you used the one recommended in this guide? https://bikerrated.com/gear/maintenance/best-motorcycle-puncture-repair-kits/ - From what I can gather, they don't make run-flat tyres for bikes yet!

Hi welcome and congratulations on passing your full licence. Have you bought a s1000rr?

I take a can of holts foam if I am touring.
 
Hello and welcome to the forum, I have and use the crafty plugger http://craftyplugger.com/ works a treat and lasts the life of the tyre (road speed). Some punctures will need a recovery truck so make sure you have good breakdown cover.

Good luck with your travels, where are you off too?
 
Welcome to the forum.
I carry something similar for punctures- Stop&Go tyre plugger. As others have said make sure you have a recovery service as you may have breakdowns for other reasons or punctures not pluggable.
 
Welcome to the forum... thankfully a punctured tyre on a bike is fairly uncommon but it does happen...

I'm not a lover of repaired motorcycle tyres...a temporary repair I would live with but only till I can get to a tyre shop and buy a replacement...

Anyhow enjoy the forum, lots of good chat on here..


Cheers
