I see there are a few repairs kets you can get for bikes and wonder what is the best for my bike. I have a 2006 cb900 Hornet so I'm also wondering if any repair kit out there can repair a tyre on my bike as I have no centre stand.

Yep, tis a tubeless tyre, so you just use the dog turd kits, ream the hole a bit, shove the turd in, cut it off close to the tyre, pump it back up...
If you have no idea what I am talking about... go look at a shop doing it first, watch one, and you should have the jist of it.
Most of the shops sell the same one I think, somewhere around $50-$70 I think... tools, turd, compressed air etc.

When I fixed a flat rear on my gsxr, the bike was on the sidestand the entire time. No hassles. Mine is a "genuine innovations" brand or something similar. As mentioned, reamer, plug and gas canister combo.

however if your bikes got rims with spokes...its generally got a tube and tire...so using these kits won't fix fuck all..as tube is puntured not tire..or both ..and then the tube has to be removed and patched

Slime or it's equivalents will repair/prevent deflation in most tube and tubeless punctures

Cool thanks guys. The Hornets use tubeless tyres so a plug, gas combo kit is what I need and works with tyre still on ground is a bonus.
