Building the Ultimate Adventure Bike Toolkit - Brake Magazine 

Awesome breakdown & a perfect prep for TET. As for tire changing - can you make a video how you do it with one lever?

Very good indeed. Nice small setup. I learned a lot. Thanks!

Awesome video! Working on my 790 R toolkit and this was very helpful.

I’ve been watching many vids about motorcycle toolkits and this is the best one. Thanks

Honestly the best breakdown I've ever heard. Really appreciate this!

Great video :-) I like the idea af combined spanner/tyre lever. I am that guy who currently carries 3 large tyre levers!!!! Looks like I need to practice my tyre changes with less kit :-)

Hey, I discovered your channel a while ago and I, literaly, cannot stop watching your vids. Keep with it plese. I'll make sure to visit you when I travel to UK.

I think that for adventure riding a way to remove/install your spark plug should be on the list along with chain and tire tools. Drowned bikes aren’t that common in the Dakar, but definitely common on the trails.

I have been wrapping some simple (but strong) steel wire around my side-stands on my bikes for years. You wouldn’t believe how many times the wire has saved the day, not just for me but friends who I ride with.

Thanks, this helps a lot. Loving your channel. Happy Trails

super cool video, great editing and shooting!

Great video. I'd carry more duct tape , but other than that, love the logical minimalist approach. Cheers

I'm surprised not to see 3 things: an extra universal lever, a needlenose vicegrip, and a spare clutch cable (maybe your system is hydraulic?). That vicegrip can become many parts of the bike if needed, eg if you broke your shift lever back at the shaft, or need a second spare lever, or need to hold your broken exhaust semi-stable.... I've not ridden enough to break something, but my friend's clutch cable had the end bead come off, so a new lever wasn't going to fix it. A vicegrip clamped to the cable was enough for a rough clutch, though it needed to be held the whole time to keep from dropping out of reach. I'm coming from an adventure riding perspective, where one would probably stop if facing a more serious problem and haul the bike out/bring parts to it, but not want to be stuck for a long time or in bad environmental conditions.

Great Mini Tip Monday. Thanks for that. I've changed the rear tube of my KLX twice, but everytime I ended with a new tube and a brandnew puncture in it. Could you make a Mini Tip Monday on how to repair a puncture proberly without making a new damage?

Good stuff. You don't even need a massive belt for your trousers - a strap and a double D-ring work! :D

Hi, I'm curious to see some creative ideas about where to place these things on the bike. You mentioned the fork i.e. for cableties. Can you make a vid with some practical tips on an enduro bike? Cheers!

Good job mate

You could remove the Hex bits and just carry Torx since a Torx will fit in a hex firring quite nicely and Torx is what I use on damaged hex fittings.

Great mini tip Monday

I like to throw in a pair of light weight mechanics gloves too. Makes working on a hot engine without ruining your riding gloves a plus.

1 thing you might want to include is silver solder. You can permanently weld/solder anything under 7-800° with near welded strength and can do it with a torch lighter.

That shirt doe! Grandmaster Flash FTW!

Do a vid on how to change a tire with one tire spoon! Love you videos..

Great video, thanks. Don't forget a tire pump though.

Throw in some alcohol pads in case you need to use that jb weld where there is an oil leak.

I wonder if it's a good idea to assemble your bike with the tools you will carry, so to know that it will come apart with small 1/4 inch drive tools when you need it to?

One tire lever??? Nope, hell nope, but cool kit.

What electrical tester is that??.. regards

Duck tape around a old credit card (long ways). It’s slim and can carry a good amount of tape.

I usually carry a mechanician in my backpack. Problem solved.

need that tire lever - thanks :)

what kind of electrical tester

Can you share a couple scenarios where you needed to change your oil filter?

When you say "two part metal" are you referring to something like jb weld? Where I'm from we call any kind of two park epoxy jb weld. Even if it's not the actual brand. Like bandaids or crock-pots. Lol

I’ve always been curious for adventure bikes why nobody uses the exhaust hose tire inflator instead of a big heavy pump. No moving parts and a few oz vs lb, Even if the hot air loses pressure you just stop and top up 1-2x. And even if it couldn’t get you to full pressure it would guarantee get you by in a pinch.

Good minimum toolkit. A lot of overweight kits out there. If you already have pliers and screwdriver, why the multitool instead of a lighter weight knife? Also many bikes only have 2 or 3 sizes of fastener by design, why so may sizes of 1/4 inch socket? Other tools for consideration; air pump, tire plug tool IF running tubeless or Tubliss®, some safety wire and a Clamptite® can accomplish things even tie wraps and duct tape cannot, a partial roll of electrical tape, micro jump starter.

Do you feel you need the cutting pliers when you have the multitool with a knife? You talk about not adding duplicate stuff.

Plug change?

Do you carry a spark plug and socket?.

take a shot every time he says awesome

Hello, a slight miss spell in the title :) Thanks for good tips

Can you pls drop a link to where we/I get this toolkit.? Many thanks

4 tyre levers equals 5 Kilos!!! What 1.25 Kilos per lever??? Come on mate, that would be for full sized truck/HGV levers!! I carry 2 full size Motion Pro Beadpro tyre levers (with built in bead breakers) that weigh 0.25 of a kilo BETWEEN them. I have a Zen Overland double ended KTM 27/32 front/rear wheel nut spanner that that weighs 0.1 of a Kilo. My entire tool 12 piece tool kit weighs less than a kilo.

I think he forgot: a good insurance, credit card, a compressor and a phone! It is essential to travel with these tools in the tool kit!

Now I want to see the dude use his paper tool kit under the heat of the sun 😁 I already can visualize that tire lever bending just by being approached to a rear tire 😂😂😂

“You can just buy a regular tyre iron and weld on the correct size spanner for your rear spindle/bike.” It’s almost like he thinks we are real men that can weld and do sh*t like that. And not a bunch of riders that have no idea which end of a screw driver to hold and would be happy to call the RAC when a blinker stops flashing to top up our blinker fluid. XD

You inflate your tires with your mouh ? Waw ! ;-)

Oil changes? Really! So you carry filters and oil and a container to store the used oil and filter or do you pollute the environment. Just wait till you get back home. If the scenario is in Dakar, then wouldn't the back-up crew carry the spares?

Its leeeeeverage. You're British.

Too much talking.

LOL 9 minutes to explain ? to long, is this lesson available from an English speaking person so we can understand ????
