Guest Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Im really not sure.. it might have been M&P or sport touring. I went for the big kit with the 'gun' - rather than the smaller 'pocket' kit. Ive just seen that on Amazon.. for £27.68 inc post. but you can probably buy it cheaper if you have a hunt.the bigger kit with the 'gun' is about £10 more. and is something I only carry for touring or if Im going a fair distance and taking a bit of luggage. even if thats just a rucksack strapped to the pillion seat. mostly i just take my phone and would call rescue.it was handy being able to fix the tyre at home. rather than have the bike transported to a tyre place. the 800 doesn't have a main stand (yet) so.. i can't just take a wheel off.

Mr Fro Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 If your feeling flush and they do one for your bike i can wholeheartedly recommend and Abba stand!! Easiest and safest thing i have ever used to get my wheels off the floor.I'm developing a something at the moment. I'm going to call it the "Bee Gee Stand". I'm aiming for it to be more universal than Abba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve D Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Just got back from the south of France on Saturday. While out there my mate picked up a puncture on the rear of his Tiger Sport. Filled it with that slime stuff and it worked fine and got him home at speeds of up to 90+mph. I also had the string plug kit but he said he wouldn't have felt safe at those speeds having reamed a hole in the tyre to fit the string in case the cords were weakened. The string/plug are fine as a get you home repair but some tyre manufacturers state that the speed rating of the tyre is no longer valid when you fit a plug/patch and he didn't want to do 900 miles at 50mph!
