[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1455113, member: 19880"] A patch-plug (from the inside) is probably the most secure repair although I generally just use a standard sticky string kit and ride to the end of the tire's life. I would never rely on a battery operated inflator. When the battery runs out, you're done until you can recharge. There are lots of inflators out there (some very small) that run off the bike's battery. I use a Slime pump but do a search here for LOTS of information and choices. Note that you CANNOT use the 12 V outlet in the glove box to run an inflator - the fuse will blow immediately. The wiring to that outlet is not suitable for high current draw so don't consider upping the fuse rating. You should have an SAE outlet pigtail hooked to your battery and fused to at least 10 amps - or higher, depending on the pump. (This can also be used to hook up a battery tender.) [/QUOTE]
