I just bought my 1st motorcycle, a 2016 nc700xd. I've only had it a few days & the front tire is completely flat. I haven't taken a safety course yet or had it out on the public roads, I've only been practicing on my 1/4 mile driveway with curves & steep hills.
So I'm interested in your advice on how to get back to riding! First off, I don't know if motorcycle tires can be safely repaired or if they're always replaced.
Option 1: buy a 17mm hex socket, jack, torque wrench; remove the wheel & take it to a tire shop. (It already has a center stand).
Option 2: Have a friend help load it on a trailer & haul it to a tire or motorcycle shop.
Option 3: Buy a compressor & temporary repair kit & drive it slowly to a shop (keep in mind I'm a new rider & live in the mountains, the nearest shop is 25 miles of curves & steep cliffs).
Option 4: Walk it a mile from my house then call AAA
What's your advice? Thanks!
