I punctured... and FIXED it!! [First ever puncture on my KTM 790 adv, rear tire plugged] 

Thank you for sharing this! I bought a tyre repair kit myself when preparing for my recent Norway adventure. I had put on a new set of Pirelli Rally STR, which are quite soft and have a reputation of being puncture prone, so I thought I'd better stop relying on just being lucky all the time. Anyway, I got to Lillehammer, had a great time on the TET, drove up to the peak of Blåhø and literally touched the clouds, and continued up to Lesja before I turned back into Sweden and home again. I got a couple of hundred gigabytes of GoPro material but no puncture, so I am still just as inexperienced with tyre repairs as I was before, but at least now I have the equipment. Plus, I have seen your nice demo of how to use it 👍🙂

Not being a bike rider now a days but a car driver when allowed I find small jobs are better dealt with as an adhoc maintenance alternative with of course a back up by a tire specialist but its a learning curve we should all go through as driver and riders. Cheers Runa.

Great job Runa and a good learning experience ☺️

Great video, I have never (not yet) repair my tyres on my ktm 890 but now I know how to do.//Sweden

Very informational. Thanks for taking the time to document this!

Great video. So well presented.

You did a great job ! Now i know when i get a flat on my tubeless tire . Set ur mind you can do anything . Love your humour so funny so cute !!!

I don´t know if you have needed to do it in your past travel in Iceland or Norway or Spain, you are a great mecanical biker, super!!! congratulation! 👏👏👏👏👏👏✌✌✌✌

Good repair, however this only good for tubeless tyres. You have spoked wheels so the spokes must have been sealed inside by tape. My spokes are not sealed so I must use tubes, so to repair I must remove wheel and patch tube. KTM have made it easier for you, nice. Here in Thailand I do not look forward to a puncture, although having said that, in the first few months I did have a puncture, but in a well populated area and as it was near dark a local put my bike in the back of his pickup and took me back to my hotel, and although Sunday next morning located a shop to do the repair for me, every village in Thailand has a motorbike mechanic, it’s great.

Hello Runa! I have watched your videos and they are beautiful! The scenery is incredible. I am happy you are riding a KTM, I love mine. Best!

In Canada we call these tire repair strips "bacon strips" The first tool you used is called a reamer...you can not just screw it in, you have to bore the hole with it to make the hole large enough to use the second tool...however, your tires I think might have tubes...and are not specific to that type of hole repair...could be wrong. However, bacon strips are the best thing for tire repair...on tubeless tires...on cars, trucks and bikes. good for you for trying.

As always a great video and an example of why I always run with tubeless tires. I have also fitted a small toolbox on the inside of the left of the pannier rack so I can always carry a puncture repair kit and some basic tools. Ride safe 👍🇬🇧

First of all: That is so cool that your spoked wheels use tubeless tires! Second: You probably know this, but for safety, you should probably get the puncture patched, even with the plug.

My hats off 2 u! Thanks for the video

A magical and beautiful mechanic ;)

So, watching a „how to puncture repair“ video on youtube is not always helpful. But absolutely entertaining😂

Hi Runa. Great video. To ansver some of your questions. Yes you are supposed to release the air in the tire. When you have manage to get the first tool all the way inn, the trick is to pull the tool out and in some time without any turn movement. Then you will get correct hole size for the plug. Be sure to have enough of the plug on the inside of the tire when you done. 👍

Nice and looking lovely ladie

For me I would let that drill thing in the tire while i prepare for rubber fix in the second tool, its a lot easier to stick that in when the tire still have air in it

In Germany we say "ich ziehe meinen Hut vor Dir!" :-D Perfect!!

There it is, so glad you found my missing nail 👏🏻🔥🤩 can you send it to me in the Mail? Thanks

God bless you my friend.

Great job 👍🏽💪🏽👌🏽🤩

Hola, te estoy viendo desde mexico, de que pais eres?

Yep, also Arnold needs sometimes new shoes 😉 But it was a good attempt for the first time.

brave mechanic😉😆😆

Kudo's for KTM for making spoked weels that are tubeless. I thought only BMW had that.

Your reamer tool is different than any I've seen. Is it knurled? Either way if there's still some pressure in the tire try to keep as much in as possible so the tire has some force for when you insert the bacon strip. Ie, have your plug ready to go, pull out the reamer, and insert the plug asap. Made a good go of it! Probably just as good as anyone else that's doing it for the first time, including myself 🤣.

Most of those repair kits come with instructions, some do say to actually make the puncture larger. You do this by pushing and pulling in and out the tool. As said spoked wheels have likely a tube, and those need to be done differently.

Nice Video! How tall are you?

Wow, you are smart for having a tubeless tire kit with you. However, once you patch it the way you did perfectly, then you are good. I have used them on car tires/tyres many times. Once done it is good forever especially the low tire tread on that tire. The tire was flat, so there was no hurry when to put in the plug or file it bigger. flat is flat. 😀But you could have put the compressor on it to inflate it and give the tire back pressure to insert the plug. Put your finger over the hole so it inflates and stiffens. Then your ready for the plug. At least you did it yourself. 😍

♥️♥️♥️

❤❤❤

It think it looking great. I have never done a puncture repair. I have to test it some time when its time to change the tyres. Probably one could have done the hole little bigger with the drill, then it would have been easier to plug it. On the other hand, as long as it works it works.

Tubeless repair seems a lot more simple than tubes.

Красотка! Такая красивая...

wow.. 👍🏾👍🏾

Nice job :D Rett innstilling :D

when does the next episode comes out ? :P

is this a tubeless tire? :P normaly with this kind of rims you have tiers with tubes, then you cant do it like that :P

Lol yea it's a headache when a nail gets into tire spoils the day

You different face 🤯 but same cool 👍

Those rims don't look like they are tubless because of the spokes down the middle, unless it has been converted to tubeless with conversion kit. Please clarify.

Hello where are you going today my beautiful friend

Hello, Are You Runa? You are very Beautiful. I think You did some mistakes while repairing the Puncture. When You remove the knell, immediately have to insert the tool to make the hole bigger. Don't remove that tool till You are ready with the patch. You have to remove it straight. Sufficient tire pressure should be there otherwise You cannot insert the patch. You could not insert the patch properly because there was very little tire pressure. Thanks.

I like you... You r so good... I can ur travel partner... 🌼🏵️🌺🌷💐🍁🌼🏵️🥀

You're obviously a bit of a novice with motorcycles. I can see that by the way you read the instructions before doing the job. That's simply not how these things should be done!
