Slime compressor/kit, which one??

[ZG]

So I did a search and found a couple different variations, which one is the one to get that everyone keeps talking about?

This is the one, but I wouldn't use the slime.. Just plug it until you can also patch it..

Thanks W18. Will the slime ruin the TPS, is that why not to use it? 
 
Also, it looks like some of them have a pressure gage on them, and this one does not, wouldn't that be a worthy feature when airing up a tire? 

[Walker18]

First, I am not an authority on tire sealants, nor am I a chemist, so my in depth knowledge on the chemical properties is leveled
off at the layman's understanding. With that said, injecting a tire sealant through the same port that you inject air through, the nozzle and the TPS
on the other end is getting 'slimed'. How can one expect that unit to still operate as intended? I don't know if the Slime is safe to use
on (in) TPS units, but the Slime must have some type of adhesion compound(s) in it in order to seal the punctures. Wouldn't this compound also adhere
to the TPS? JMHO.

Now as for the pressure gauge on the pump, I haven't missed it, and if having one would mean an increase in size, then it wouldn't be for me. I'm a
frickin pack rat, and I attempt to carry as much as possible on the bike, using as little room as possible. Instead of a mounted gauge, I use an Accutire
digital gauge. Works for me, but to each their own. I do have other air compressors in my cages that do have gauges, but my storage areas are larger,
and so are the compressors. Hey, their car tires..Again, JMHO

I used slime before on my truck when I got a flat once. It sealed the hole good but it threw my tire balance off so bad I had to get a new tire. The tire guy tried to get as much out of the tire as he could but couldn't get it to balance right. My truck tires cost 300 a piece so I was not happy about that! So if you got to use it to get home I guess you have no choice, but just keep in mind it may cost you a new tire. With that said though, depending on how bad you puncture it you may need a new tire anyways.

I have the 3rd one. I bought just the compressor, & have been using it for several years. Great little compressor, & I even use it for routine topping off of tire pressure. Works fine on the 10 amp dashboard accessory socket, but probably would blow the 5 amp one on the newer bikes.

#3 for the bike & #4 for the truck. Add some sticky rope plugs, glue, pliers & a knife.

3rd one and it comes in a nice CD type case with a cable you can plug into the SAE connections like a batt tender.   Got mine at Autozone with a rope type plug kit.   Used it 2x now with no probs. 

[ZG]

Cool, thanks for the help guys, sounds like the 3rd one it shall be, I just bought it.

Late to the game, but that's the same I have.  Lucky for me I have never needed it on a bike, but it will do truck tires   In the midle of nowhere, surrounded by cows, you get the idea.  It worked.

Don't use Slime. It will wreck the sensor. There was a thread on the other forum about that. My son used it and it actually plugged the valve stem when he did not get the air filler hose connected properly and quite a bit of air escaped. Next time he tried to fill the tire, it was plugged.

Have a question for you guys...
 
My Slime compressor KIT arrived today, I notice it has plug socket to plug into the accessory port but also has an extension that has connections just like a Battery Tender. I already have a Battery Tender lead on my bike, can I just power the compressor with that straight off my battery or will that damage/fry the compressor?? 

[gPink]

I use mine on the pigtail.

[ZG]

I use mine on the pigtail.

Hey GP, is a "pigtail" that the Battery Tender lead that goes straight to the battery? 

[556ALPHA]

yes

[ZG]

Cool, thanks! 

[gPink]

yes

I have the pigtail attached to mine, but change the fuse to a 10amp, and have spares..

also if you installed Powerlet BMW style power ports directly to the battery they sell a cable with the proper style of connection that you can plug in and charge through.  Then you can lose the tender cable.  I will use the same cable/plug to power my Slime when I install the Powerlet Port.   One less cable on the bike.

I just saw your fuse block configuration and it looks like you are only running a 3A fuse to the power sockets and a 10A to the heated gear.  If you run the Slime I think a 15A is suggested.  I plan on running my Powerlet Socket directly to the Battery and charging through it and Powering the Slime with it using a 15A fuse.
