I've carried on my Vespa one of the Stop and Go plug kit that I bought from Aerostich 14 years ago and after nearly 60 thousand scooter miles haven't needed it.  Have been wondering whether to put it with the K75.

Still sorting out my riding "needs" with the motorcycle.  Thanks for the reminder about flat tires.  Just had a set of Pirelli Sport Demons put on the bike and hopefully they'll avoid nails and other pointy intruders.

greetings...

as the gryppoon says... carry it and you will never need it...

i have a ase to powerlet for easy power to the pump... also carry powerlet to ase to gater clips to jump a low battery moto if the need arises... which it has... the k75 can easily flood when hungover and battery drain is usually a byproduct... can go powerlet to powerlet for a boost or powerlet to battery for a charge...

More stuff to consider.  You experts here need to build an online course.

I have a Slime pump though Jack Riepe keeps telling me it's crap and I need to buy a CyclePump.  And I always carry an AntiGravity lithium battery on the scooter in case I need to jump start it.  Never needed it for that but it has started both my Honda autos.  Will have to figure a connection to the K75.

I've only had 2 flat tires in 40 plus years, one  was on a '76 water buffalo, about 1 mile from home, at the end of a ride, front tire, got home slowly with no drama.  The other was on my k75, rear tire, i bounced it off center stand in the garage and i couldn't roll it backwards, it felt like the brakes were on.  Quickly figured it out and reshod both ends.  It occurred to me, some may not know 2 stroke slang for the Suzuki, gt750 aka a water buffalo, liquid cooled triple.  So here's a pic.

That looks like the Sears fairing I had on my '72 Yamaha R5C 350 two stroke.

I too ave been pretty fortunate to NOT have a flat on the road that stopped me. I did have the rear of the K12LT loose air short of work, but i was able to ride it on in because of the reinforced sidewall.

That was a period correct Wixom Brothers faring, just the ticket back then, I had a couple of bmw /6 specific  Wixoms  on my airheads too. Not so pretty, but they went on and off easily and were very effective.  Here's one of them on my /6.

If you are worried about a failure to start run the engine. I do the same when inflating my air bed. I did do an experiment and deflated my tyre and then used the 12v compressor to inflate it and it started with no problems at all.
