alquimista Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Hi, I'll be doing a Ride to Mexican beaches, not far from where I live. Last year I did it on a tenere xt660z I had, and now, on my FJ-09. Will be a 1,000 kms round trip. As the tenere tires had tubes, i took a small portable air pump and a green liquid sold in auto zone, for small possible punctures on the tire. As the FJ09 is tubeless, I was wondering if the simple spray that you connect on the tire valve, sold in auto zone, is enough. I read though that these pressurized cans must not be carried on hot Temps, as there is risk of explosion. Any suggestions, on products for a posible flat, that can be carried as part of a backpack, on the bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you firsthand it will handle a puncture with no issue. 2015 Stealth Grey FJ-09 Pilot Base of Operations: Chesterfield, VA Farkels? Lots, nothing flashy, but all functional...

Supporting Member betoney Posted October 8, 2017 Supporting Member Share Posted October 8, 2017 I carry a Dynaplug Repair Kit and a CO2 Inflator. Thankfully, I have only had to use them once. The Dynaplugs work very well, depending on what sized object punctures your tire, you may require 2 plugs. After the repair I was able to ride several hundred miles without losing any air. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member sirepair Posted October 10, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted October 10, 2017 Gummy worms tire plugs and a small compressor for me. Slime or Ride-on products can be put in tubeless tires without issue, except the mess when you change tires. TPMS will be added to my FJ at first tire change (wont be long!) Utilizing "T" metal valves. http://www.tpms.ca/t-valves.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsp Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Beware of long term use of Slime in your tires. It causes a lot of corrosion to your wheel and degrades the bead area of your tire. I would not used it except as a short term fix to get you to a place to change your tire. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
