I could not make this kit work, despite trying 3 times on my Ninja 250 rear tire.  We had two Ph.D's there reading and re-reading the directions and that patch STILL lost air in a few mins... 

Found the problem!

Road side assist = towing service.  :drinks: Sorry, I didn't understand.  Thanks for that!  That one didn't even cross my mind.  The famous Klavdy-Pinecone incident was a  prime example of really needing "Road side assist".
A bit more than a towing service. They usually send out a mobile mechanic with a well set up van for minor repairs and can provide a variety of batteries, & fan belts at reasonable prices (labour covered by insurance). If mechanic can`t help he orders the tow truck/vehicle carrier. Recently they sent me a carrier first up and it was available quicker than the mobile mechanic. (40 mins). Cost here for the topline service is around $120 a year.
