i have had a couple of punctures (in my car to be fair) and can just repair them with a kit I have got. 15,000 miles later still fully inflated biggrin not sure how bikes work, maybe different.

fking brilliant again petrol light on. I only filled the thing on the weekend and have done 30 miles I put £20 in which usualy lasts 200 miles which means i am either leaking fuel or its been knicked.....
you would be suprised how much fuel your car uses just starting it and moving it each time - if thats what you are doing to get your bike out

I use a paddock stand, trolly jack, ladder and a rope. biggrin



Also worth checking if there's some convenient holes in the frame that you can put a bar though and support on axle stands.

rofl I love it!



But I think I have it sorted now, well kinda. Pumped it up today with the compressor and it seems to be holding air fairly well so I will just bomb it to some tyre dude and get it replaced not gonna bother repairing the puncture as tread is pretty low anyway.

Thanks for all the suggestions peeps =] now which tyres to go for????

It's holding pressure =D pumped it up at 4pm yesterday (well my brother did) and it still has pressure this morning when I went to check on it, felt like a rock.
