    Roadside repairs for relatively new bikes?

    I've been revising tool kits recently and was thinking to myself that I carry all these tools - almost certainly too many - and have just about never used them. I'm considering eliminating just about everything except flat fixing solutions (including a small hammer for dented rims - a personal...

    Hello all, Am interested in knowing what extra tools do you carry with you on your G 310 R or GS when your out traveling with it for 3-5 days besides the tools that come with the bike.

    Toolkit for R1250GS

    Greetings all. I am putting together a toolkit for my 1250GS. Most of my miles are road miles and I’ve never carried more than a tire repair kit other than when I travelled to the Yukon Territories three years ago on a V-Strom. For that trip I just cobbled together a bunch of stuff and tossed...

    Travel Tools

    Yesterday I took pictures of what tools I carry on trips and stored them on my phone. I also labeled the pictures saying where the tools are located, like tank bag, seat bag or under seat. Sometimes I forget what I have or where it located :) CRS Most of the stuff is carried on my pillion seat...

    Onboard tools

    Hi I am new to the group. My apologies if this has appeared before, but I didn't see anything in my searches here so, I thought I would ask. What tools should I have handy onboard for my 2009 1200RT? The kit that came with bike is long gone so I want to put together one of my own, say from...

    The infamous R1200RT tool kit

    Years ago, I remember somewhere on the forums, someone mentioning how weak and useless the R1200RT tool kit was. I've had mine since I owned the bike, a black leather pouch with a screwdriver, oil filler cap tool, spark plug wrench... In short order I collected several tools as I needed them...

    Tool Kit--which wrenches to take.

    I'm putting together a tool kit for my 2009 R1200GS and I've got a pretty good handle on what tools I want to bring except for wrenches. What combination wrenches might I expect to need for dealing with breakdowns? My girl's bike is a 2007 F650GS and so I'd like to hear comments about which...
