Nah, tubeless tires are a piece of cake!

I don't carry this all the time, but for long trips, I have the "Motorcycle and ATV" kit partway down that page.

I've used it twice; once on my old SV650S and once on a friend's ST1300. The friend's bike was easier because he had the foresight to get his flat right at a farmhouse -- the owner let us borrow his air compressor to reinflate the tire.

To the general point, I've always used the toolkit that comes with the bike, plus a decent Leatherman and a small flashlight. A roll of Rescue Tape is my other must-have. That stuff is awesome and has saved my bacon more times that I care to admit.
