Do you mean Slime as in any tyre sealant or Slime the brand? I have no experience with Slime tyre sealant but did have a Slime tyre pump.

If you have tyre pressure monitors then you cannot use tyre sealants. You'll just have to put up with punctures from time to time.

I think they might, or the monitors will stop the smooth flow of the beads.

In my opinion you need a 12v pump that you can use time and time again without worrying about the battery going flat. Don't ask me how I know. ;)
As I have grown older, I've learned that pleasing everybody is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Oh dear.. You could leave the engine running to keep the battery topped up (I know the larger car versions say run the engine).
Of course with K's you stand a chance of having an inflated tyre but an overheated engine

The battery on my K12 would inflate both tyres with my AirForce compressor without the engine running and still started the engine. I had to have it across the battery as the CAN'TBus cut it out if I used the on-board socket.

Pink. Very pink.

I have to admit to having a compressed air thingummie.
In preference to the Tyreweld we used last time. As ever, once you've bought it you never use it. No complaints on that score.

It looks compact. Its enough to get to garage or use a couple of compressed air cylinders to top up.

Did not know about not being able to use Slime etc with Tyre monitors. Good to know though. Backs up the I never leave home without compressor and repair kit these days.
Too many punctures to mention, lol. At least i can laugh about it.

Same here had to wire across battery as Bike socket cuts out. Is there anything you can actually plug into the Canbus that does not trip the bloody thing?? :-\ :-\

Anything up to 5amps load, so I believe.
