Somehow, my original tool pouch that came with my bike got lost and I need to put together a new one. The requirements are:

1. It must fit in the compartment under the seat
2. It should contain everything vital for most minor roadside fixes

So to all you experts out there: what would you include?

And secondarily, does anyone know where I can get that hex-looking metal thingie (what IS that called?) that's used to help remove the axle?

Going to Home Depot tomorrow. :)

Thanks,

-Tim.
 
Ideal are what you need in any situation coming up. :dry:

Realistic?
I carry a small vise grip, a set of allen keys ( The famous Gorilla-grip is very nice!), a combined nose-plier/cutter , a shifter (as called here and in Oz. = adjustable spanner) and most of the OEM crappy tools. A repair set for tubeless tires and CO2 cartridges also found.
Fuses. Spark plugs. That's about it.
You'll need a screwdriver, Ph #2, a 21 mm box spanner for the plugs. Also I'd recommend an 8, 10 and 13 mm spanner.

On longer trips also a clutch cable, a long cable wire (for a broken gas cable) and spare bulbs for the headlight.
 
Per Holt above, and also see THIS --OR-- I have one out of the EV-T you can have for $20, Tim. The OEM kits seem to lack, 13 and 15mm wrenches which are heavily used. Allen key/wrenchs are needed as well.
 
eeeek, I didn't realise that I carried so much around.And that is only for day to day running about.I got into this bad habit when I carried enough tools to take my XT 250 apart so that I could fit it in the boot/trunk to get me home all too frequently.Actually I had progressed from a piece of rope that would allow my buddies to tow my broken DT400

That's a good kit... though perhaps keeping a rope on board is the better bet with the new Guzzis. :huh:
 
Hi,

What’s “supposed” to be in the factory tool kit ?
Mine has the shock adjuster wrench, a flat blade screw driver and the Allen key to remove the side cover ?
There must have been more...

Thanks,
Don
 
I’ve been well served by the Cruz Tools travel kit. The Econokit M1 is relatively compact and fairly complete. Be certain to have what you need to remove a tire or adjust your shocks. The Cruz Tool kit includes several consumables that I have used while on tour. It’s a pretty good deal at less than $75.
