Erm, tow ??
Fix a flat I what I think it is, will deal with small scale puncture.  End result is new tyre and deep cleaning of wheel, oh new valve too. :-X

Got stranded 150 miles from home and nearest dealership. When BMW roadside assistance didn't materialize for 2-1/2 hours, I finally sent brother to nearest exit to get a can of fix-a-flat. Got me far enough to get off the interstate with darkness setting in. Tow truck finally arrived and brought me and bike to the house.

If you have TPM that might need replacing but not always. Dash will let you know if it's bust.

Always use Puncturesafe/Ultraseal except on TPS equipped bike. Understood that to be a big no no, and those RDC units are quite pricey.
