Centerstand - use only on firm surfaces. I learned that using it on grass.
Why Slime? I recommend NOT using Slime in the tubes. Makes a mess, may affect balance. It might seal a nail in the tire, but when you pull out the nail it might not. Often when you get a nail the tire will slip on the rim and the nail will tear the tube - big mess with Slime. 90% of motorcycle flat tires are rears.
You didn't say how much motorcycling experience you have; I highly recommend a motorcycle safety class, particularly if you have never taken one, no matter how many years you have been riding.
