ReconRat Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 I wondered why the 2007 919 didn't have a toolkit, but the 2002 919 did. Well, Honda doesn't put one in the bike anymore. (It was the last year, maybe they just didn't do it.) There is only an allen wrench and the helmet strap thingy. Guess I'll order up a shock spanner and a spark plug wrench and throw in my own selection of tools.so what all do people think they can't live without in a mini toolkit?I have my own ideas, but wondered what wisdom was out there...

LINK Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Tire repair kit, zip ties, flashlight and of course the specific tools for your bike.My Z1000 did not come with a tool kit either, and it was supposed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrenches or sockets: 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 22mm, 27mm.Maybe the torx socket that fits the brake calipers...My rear axle is a pain without a crescent wrench to hold the axle for the 27mm socket.So I add one of those big enough to do that.I always have zip ties and tire kit and flashlight anyway, but if they fit in there, ok.

Disclaimer Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Pffft, carrying your own tools is for Boy Scouts (and the men who love them)I just ride with Uncle Punk -- he carries enough tools on his Ceeeber to make a SnapOn Tool Van jealous.

dustinsn3485 Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 My tools consist of a cell phone, $200 in cash, and a prayer that the cellphone works when I run into problems. I figure if the bike breaks while I'm out, there's not going to be a toolkit small enough to fit in my bike that will fix what needs to be fixed...

ReconRat Posted September 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 I've fixed tons of stuff on the roadside. And I ride solo a lot. So tools is a must have for me. I used to carry links and half links, to repair chains. Luckily chains are a lot tougher to break now days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artmageddon Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Here's my daily ride toolkit, I don't want to be stuck on the side of the ride so you guys can make fun of me and call my Harley a broken piece of shit.

ohdaho Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 I discovered this past weekend that duct tape is one of the most important tools you can have on a ride. It might not fix everything...but youll be able to put shit back together enough to get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted September 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 when did recon finally give in to his age and buy a harley?that will never happen... although I would ride any Harley with dual discs up front. Like an XR1200 would be interesting, if it weren't so heavy. And have a small fuel tank. And a small headlight. And a belt drive. But it's a start...
