For years I have carried a tubeless tire plug kit and a small electric air pump just in case I get a flat. I have never needed to use it, but always carried it. I just decided to start carrying it with the new bike. I figured out how to get to the battery (made sure I actually had a tool kit that had the tools to remove the screws to get to the battery) made sure the air pump still worked and the plug kit still looked functional. Yes, you guessed it, the very next morning I pick up a screw in the back tire and get a flat. I only had one flat tire in 17 years on the old bike and I get my first one on the NC700 in less than 500 miles. I am trying to figure out if I was psychic or the universe is getting even with me for lack of faith. It took me 4 or 5 tries, but I finally did get the plug installed and the tire pumped back up. The plug is holding, but I will replace the tire when the bike goes in for the 600 mile service. The universe has a very strange sense of humor.
