What is the best way to repair a motorcycle if the tire got poked with a nail and the tire is flat?

Buy a tire repair kit from a big store like Walmart or preferably from a motorcycle shop. Choose a kit that suits your kind of tyres: tubed or tubeless (a MC shop staff-member can help answer this question). Do replace the tire ASAP if the sidewalls (where the writing is) are damaged, and have an MC shop inspect your repair in any case. Until those things are done, do not use the bike at high speed or for long distance. change the tire as soon as possible - your life depends on it!
