Tubed tyre repar kits
Discussion
I've recently bought a tiger 800 XC in attempt to slow down a bit, do some touring and also some light offroad. I'd surprised by the bike, brilliant road bike.
Anyway, I want a puncture repair type kit to stick under the seat, am I correct in thinking you can't use those cans of foam in tubless tyres?
How hard is changing a tyre/tube by the roadside or more importantly off road? I'm happy doing it on the road/MTB but never tried a motorbike tyre. I assume a tube type tyre is easier to get off than a tubeless?
Sorry loads of questions.

Roadside tube repair's going to be tough as you'd need to carry lots of tools.
It may not be recommended but I've used foam in tubed tyres before and it's worked, might depend on the type of puncture?...
Cheers. This was my thought, probably worth sticking in a can of foam just in case. It may not be recommended but I've used foam in tubed tyres before and it's worked, might depend on the type of puncture?...
On Road I'm less worried as I'll call the breakdown people, it's if I fancy a little off roading.
