If you just want to inflate a tire, I think there are some CO2 cartridge devices just for that.
I change all of my own tires, and would surely hate to have to squeeze all that goo out of the tube just to get it off.
Ditto what Justin said. I've used fix-a-flat in just about everything and had no problems. It sets up like rubber cement when it's dry. Tire shops want to know if you've used it because it will spray little flakes of that s### out when they break the tire off the bead and they don't want to get it in their eyes and mouths, since it is a carcinogen. Also, they'll charge you more to clean it off your rim before mounting your new tire. This is just for tubeless auto applications mind you.
The manufacturer of Fix-a-Flat doesn't recommend it's use in motorcycles because they don't want the liability of someone using it, having the FAF fail and the rider dying or getting injured and then they or the family suing them.
Slime I've also had good luck with, though I've only used it in my mountain bikes.
FWIW, I carry a can of Fix-a-Flat in my saddlebag, and I won't hesitate to use it should the occasion arise.
