I thought you colonial types had adopted the English language? |

How do you guys power your mini compressor, given that the accessory socket is useless for such things... |

Zitat von Sanemancured im Beitrag #18 my Stop & Go pump comes with 2 extension leads. One with croc clips, the other with a standard 12V plug I use the croc clips - either whip off the battery cover or if some other battery is more accessible e.g. a Tracer or S1000XR with battery under the seat use that. I could also use the my own standard 12V socket installed via a piggy back fuse, but I am not sure where I put the other fly lead with the 12V plug. |
Zitat von Sanemancured im Beitrag #18 I got a mini compressor I bought from a motorway service station for ten quid,it draws less than five amps so works no problem, all I needed was a din to standard plug adapter. If I see one on my travels this week (very likely)I'll buy it and send it on to you should you wish.

Thank you John and Wessie. I have a lot coming off my battery including a power distribution panel. I think I need to buy a smaller compressor. With modern bikes being usually reliable it's the tyre thing that usually lets someone down (pun intended). I like that plug kit and I'll look at replacing my present one with it some time. So I'll look for a compact low load mini compressor with croc clips methinks. Any recommendations? |

Zitat von Sanemancured im Beitrag #21 Anything with less than 5 amps draw will work off the plug. I posted a video on the RS Facebook page back in May of mine in action.

Zitat von Sanemancured im Beitrag #18 I bought an adapter that plugs into my Oxford "Oximiser" battery tender connector. And put a 7.5A fuse in the inline fuse holder as well. Cheers Paul B. |

this is a rebadged Stop n Go pump like mine https://www.screwfix.com/p/rac-compact-a...essor-12v/1371r |

I've derailed my share (if not a lot more) of threads, but this bordering on the bizarre. Please, you DynaPlug fan boys and dollar store compressor folks take a rest. I'm looking for a compact repair tool that includes the reamer/rasp.

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #25 Firstly, have a cup of camomile tea to relax. Is this what you want? https://www.thevisorshop.com/Mobile/en/g.../m-m-14296.aspx This used to be *the* kit to carry before all of these new fangled devices appeared. BMW even rebranded it and I had one in the toolkit of my R1150GS. |
Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #26 He wants a reamer and insertion tool that folds, making it compact as possible.

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #26Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #25 Slime makes a variant of the old TipTop/REMA tool that they sell in a ATV/UTV kit https://smile.amazon.com/Slime-20476-Tir...ref_=ast_sto_dp If the shaft folded into the Tee-handle.......that tool would occupy a 4" x 1" cylinder. Add the gooey strings and a small tube of contact cement......you've got the whole plug kit. The rocky creek tool is the right design philosophy, but it has several unnecessary tools.

This is what I carry with me. Does not take up too much room at all.

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #28 I'm surprised nobody makes ones. If I find one I'm buying it.
