Where would I keep it (if I ever carried one, which I won't)? In my top box, along with the electric pump and 3 different plugging systems. ;-)
 
Yes,have done so ,ran the tyre for a couple of weeks then replaced it.

It stays as a liquid inside the tyre, washed and cleaned the wheel when fitting new tyre, that was 10k ago and no issues at all.
 
Don't use it as will goo up the tyre pressure sensor.
I always carry a tank bag with airman compressor and dynaplug kit.
 
I have a Touratech tool box which sits on the pannier rail (behind the pannier) and it fits puncture kit and compressor - used a few times on others but not for myself - one of the best additions to my bike for good tours.
Wouldnt use tyre sealant liquids because of Tyre Pressure system and the mess they make when you take the tyre off.

I like that. Do you know if the vario panniers would still fit on the LC if that box was fitted?

As the box is fitted behind the holder for the panniers I would think so. But els email the guy behind bmwgsemotion. He answer emails quickly. And the best part is that you can have a version where your bmw key can be used to unlock the box! Just remember to write, that you need some additional parts to re-key the lid.
 
The small Motorrad tailbag carries some stuff in it. As the tyre is tubeless the stopngo tyre plugs and Bestrest Cyclepump compressor is the best. Small, compact and will work on any bike, car etc.
 
If u must carry a puncture spray why not use one of the ones that u put into the tyre as a preventive? JJH
 
Just had to use this type of repair.

Friend had a piece of flint puncture his rear tyre. He used those plugs you screw in, then snap off, but the cut in the tyre was around 15mm long. So we inflated the tyre using Holts version of this spray.
Following my mate down the mountain to get it repaired, it looked like nothing was wrong with it. Worked a treat having both repair systems on hand.
 
I use to carry a can zip tied to the frame of my 1150, after a several thousand miles of none use the frame eventually wore through the can....

It was quite a moment and mess :D

On my 1200 I keep a can in a pannier rail tool box but it's there as an absolute last resort as I have TPS.

Ahead of this I have a stop and go and now some rats tails as the last puncture was to big for the stop and go or the BMW plugs - I didn't think it was worth using the can at that time.

Pump is some gas canisters and a small high capacity cycle pump
