You can buy a motorcycle flat fixing kit. It comes with plugs and compressed air. The down side is you need to know where to insert the plug and sometimes it can be difficult to determine.
If you get a hole in a motorcycle tire the repair should be temporary. It should get you home and to a shop safely.
I recommend a small bottle of ‘Sea lN Air”. It is cheap and insert slime to fill the hole and air at the same time. The slime covers the inside of the tire but you will be getting a new one. Slime is also colored so you will see when it has found the hole.
Go here I sell for a seal and air $7 - http://www.cyclemartusa.com/shop/productdetail.htm?productId=4062225&browse=15377&shopBy=4098&catalogId=652

Any of those compressed air/slime combos. Think of it as a donut tire now. Next stop should be a place to get a new tire. Also if you are on the freeway win this happens do not go the typical 80-85 tops you want to go is 65 and even that can be dangerous. The pressure in your tire is a lot higher than a cars(and a lot more sensitive) So once you get a hole there is no gaurantee it will stay sealed.

most shops i know of charge an hour to change a tire ($80) and an hour and half to chage a tire with fix a flat, slime , can o crap, etc. ($120) so how how much did that can save ya. and it doesn't work on bike tires. lesson learned (priceless). Think about this if you have a flat on your car and you put a donut on it you are down to 75% if you have a problem with a bike tire and you put a bandaid on it you are at 50%. on a bike i dont want to be at 50% on anything
Don't use it

There isn't much that's good for a motorcycle. Plug kits are available, but should only be emergency/temporary.
Do NOT use Fix-a-Flat. Why? Because it says "Do not use in motorcycle tires" on the lable.

SLIME....the green stuff....But it is something you put in your tires BEFORE you put air in them....the stuff that is in a can that inflates and seals has propaine(that is what inflates the tire) and is not something you want on your bike or in your tires , for that matter!! Maybe carry a hand pump , that is all you will need if you have slime in your tires!!!

Fix-A-Flat works, but it's only to be used as a temporary fix until you go and have the tire repaired or replaced.
