Mod's wasn't sure which was the best forum category for this one......

Hey Guy's

Anyone have this particular kit or do you use and swear by some thing similar..

Looking for the best type that will be the easiest to use and neatly stow in the underseat tool pouch area (without the pouch!) of my 2004 CBF600

Thanks to All

Tried and tested by many members on here, myself included.

Plugs a tyre with a mushroom plug from the outside without needing to take the tyre off the wheel.

I like the figure of eight style ones. Personally tried and tested several times at high speeds and for long durations.

Hey Guy's.... Cheers for all the useful suggestions and comments, appreciate them all..
The Plug'nGo users, do you carry some sort of Pump or do you also invest in the miniature Co2 mini canisters and the adapter connector. How many canisters give you a useable pressure in a tyre circa 160/60 x 17 ???
Any thoughts appreciated...

I use a little compressor running from a 12v socket but you could carry some CO2 canisters. You can get compressors that come with crocodile clips that connect direct to the battery terminals if you don't fancy wiring in a 12v socket. If your battery is easily accessed this might be a good option.

I carried the three cannisters which came with the kit last time. As I recall, this was good for about 24psi in a 160 section rear. Not enough to hoon about on but definately enough to limp to an airline with.

A bicycle pump can and will pump up your tyre as long as it hasn't dropped off the rim.

I use a mini compressor with my Stop n go plugs.

This one:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380435658464?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Has lasted well and is small enough to live under the rear seat, even with the power commander in the way.

(it's the exact same mini compressor that stop n go sell for twice the price)

Takes a good 10 - 15 minutes to full inflate my rear tyre with it, but will give 35+ psi.

I've never been able to get those in tbh had a HG kit struggled and went back to the silly string ones.

You need to use the reaming tool to open up the hole until is slides in and out easily, then use the tool to put plenty of gloop in the hole and on the bung to lubricate it.

It being such a tight fit is part of why I like them. If they are a sod to put in with slippy stuff and a special tool, they are not very likely to come out.

Sorry, I got distracted reading that. This is still about tyre puncture repair is it? Embarassed

I was filmed on the May Day run doing this reaming in a McDonalds carpark, it got very steamy.
