I have a small one for the car. It blows the car fuse every single time.
I might try with the car running.
Am I the only one who carries a "ten speed bike" hand pump? Cue the klr jokes....

Do you carry that on your motorbike?I ended up with what looks like a drill turned into a compressor:
I could. It's in the car now. The case is 13 1/2" x 9 1/2" x 3 1/4", so a smaller one or a cartridge thing might be better for a road trip.Do you carry that on your motorbike?
If I need an air compressor at the same time as I cant have a running engine, that's a very bad day. I dont think I want a compressor powered by something other than the bike. More stuff to carry, more things that can fail.I could. It's in the car now. The case is 13 1/2" x 9 1/2" x 3 1/4", so a smaller one or a cartridge thing might be better for a road trip.
I looked into the next battery booster up from what Lightcycle had, since it would power a small compressor, but it's really expensive.

I have a small cigarette lighter compressor my dad gave me from Crappy Tire I think. It blows the fuse on the Odyssey.If I need an air compressor at the same time as I cant have a running engine, that's a very bad day.

I carry the same pump, but with this. 20A.I keep tire plugs and a 12V Slime pump on board.
It has a cigarette plug, as does the bike.
However, there's no chance any pump will run on our factory cigarette plug outlets.
The factory fuse (3amp) on the vstrom will blow in less than 2 seconds. Up it to a 20-30amp.

I put my 12v cigarette lighter socket on unswitched -- I never leave anything in there. It doubles as my charge port should my battery get run down.Unswitched is for things like theft alarms, clocks, etc, and I suppose if you want to add LED decorative lighting that you want to have on while the bike is parked with you elsewhere.
Unfused or you just charg slower than the fuse?I put my 12v cigarette lighter socket on unswitched -- I never leave anything in there. It doubles as my charge port should my battery get run down.
