Royal Enfield Interceptor 650: My saga with never-ending punctures

So far, I haven’t found a single reliable way to fix punctures on the Interceptor’s tubeless tires. That’s the only undeniable truth.

Interceptor vs. The Puncture - Part 2

After ditching the sticky strips for the mushroom magic & rubber nails, the reality stinks & laughs in the face of YouTube tutorials!!

The day before yesterday, after a short city ride in the morning, I came home to an unwelcome surprise - another puncture.

This time, I turned to the much-acclaimed mushroom repair kit, expecting a hassle-free fix. Reality, however, had other plans. Despite following the steps, the repair wouldn’t hold. Either the kit isn’t suited for the Interceptor’s tires, or I’m still getting the technique right or both.

For now, the battle with tubeless punctures continues.
The process is simple, as the numerous YT video claims to be.

1. Identify the puncture

2. Remove the root cause

3. The culprit

4. Use this tool

5. To enlarge the hole

6. The enlarged hole suitable for the mushroom rubber

7. Prep the gun to push the mushroom kit

8. Fix the puncture

9. Cut off the excess rubber, which I didn't want to do; and then fill the air

10. Unfortunately, after an hour, the tire still went deflated

Either I’m doing something wrong, or the quality of the puncture kit is questionable or maybe these mushroom kits are only effective for car tires with lower pressures (<35 PSI), which I highly doubt.

Lesson learned: The only real tubeless fix is to never get a puncture.

And then, how did the puncture saga get over?

Using the age-old rubber strip

Perhaps it's not the puncture kit after all, it's the gap in my knowledge to determine which puncture kit to use to fix the respective puncture.
