Educate me on Tire Flat fixes

There's a tire pump that fits into the spark plug port of the engine. The engine's piston does the pumping. It has a lenght of hose attached to reach the tires.
Any one use this ?

I have always taken an ordinary pucture repair outfit, a spare tube and an ordinary bicycle pump which used to tape up under the tank. Replace tube first option. Having these with you will almost certainly garantee a puncture free journey.

Just to mention again here that the Gs's of this era are all tubed type wheels even with the ally wheel. The manual clearly says that. It even says on the wheel somewhere. Tubed type. It is to do with the way the tyre bead sits on the rim.

All four of my GS's have front rims that say Tubeless, and the rear doesn't. I've been running tubeless for a long time, at least the last 50,000 miles on my 850, and have had no problems.

The problem with that is the engine oil mist that also gets pumped into your tires.

When on long trips, my emergency bag has a small electric pump made by Slime and a Nealey string-type repair kit - they look like skinny licorice, about 8" long.
