I actually went with this option when I had my Vstrom: http://www.fjr1300.info/howto/tirepump.html But to answer the original question, I have a tire repair kit with what I think are 16oz CO2 cartridges and I think we used 2 of them for a repair that had to last till we got to a gas station not too far away.

I then snipped off the cig adapter and sottered in a battery tender plug. I also put a set of battery tender pig tails permantely on the battery. They hang behind the black side panel and when I need them I just reach under and pull it out. It works so much better than a hand pump or CO2 cartridges. Plus it fits in the trunk with the CDi box relocated, wally world flat repair fit and the tool kit (I have the comp werkes fender eliminator). It has saved a few people before. I have never used it on my SV before (knocking on wood) but I've used it to fill up a set of air shocks on an old gold wing, somes flat tire at the first SV rally, put some air in a Vmax fork and to blown up a few kiddie toys for the pool. Works awesome. THat's my recommendation. ~Mike ------------------------------------------------- For all your SV needs: http://www.svrider.com To change your list settings or leave SV650-L, please visit http://www.hawkgt.com/sv650/lists.asp
