As snow, cold and weekly business travel conspire to keep me off the Burgman for the winter, I've began concocting a long-distance ride for warmer times ahead. I'm planning on riding up to James Bay in Quebec just to see the place.
The main concern I have is the desolate ~300 mi. stretch of road between gas stations, where mobile service is non-existent and road traffic is supposedly light.
I've never blown an MC tire, so I have no idea where to start, or what tools I need to effect a fix, assuming no available assistance. Does the tire need to be removed, or can patching be done from the outside?
A primer on patching a tubeless tire for the uninitiated would be greatly appreciated, along with patch kit and compressor recommendations (I'm planning on a 12V compressor, if anyone has had particular luck or lack thereof with one of them, please let me know).
Thanks, and stay warm!
