    Puncture Repair Kit

    Some advice please Chaps and Chapesses

    I'm wanting to get a Puncture Repair Kit for my v-strom (Tubeless) and i'm not sure what the hell i'm doing

    Iv'e looked on M&P and The Fast One etc and i don't know what to go for as it says these are temporary fix`s and you should not go over 37 mph bla bla bla. Are they all like this and you have to then goto a garage or can you buy a proper one, i'm confused...

    Sorry if this sounds dumb but i just don't know weather to get instant weld, a repair kit or what so i thought i'd shot a post up as the last time i asked advice was the chain lube and the Wurth chain lube was a real good buy (cheers stormforce)

    Thanks,

    Craig.

    These are the ones you want. Mabel's Old Man has got one and it's brilliant. Took no time at all to plug a hole in Lord Vader's tyre.

    He also rode several thousand miles on the repair.

    No worries. Hope you never need it. But they are the dogs whatsits

    Takes about 5 - 10 minutes to repair the puncture. The only other thing you might need is a piece of chalk, so you don't lose the hole once you've taken out the offending puncture making article.

    Good thinking batman

    I think that little yellow thing from a cycle repair kit should do the job...

    I have never done it before (repair that is lol) but i'd much rather have the opportunity to have a go than not.

    Note M&P and Busters are one and the same these days and carry the same stock. Discount codes are available for the latter. The best one I've found is from the UK Varadero forum. Use VARADERO10 for 10% off.
