Tool Kit?? 2021 R1250rt

Do 2021 Rts come with OEM Tools or Tool Kit??

On the RS theirs only a few tools under the passenger seat.

I have a garage full of tools. You can put together your own tool roll. I bought this super nice set from Ted Porter: https://www.beemershop.com/product/sbvtools-bmw-motorcycle-tool-set.html . Carry it with me.

I have the sbv tool roll linked above from Ted Porter on my R1200RTw with a few add-on tools. The add-ons include a Knipex plier-wrench, a multi-tool, and a small vise-grip pliers. I also carry a small multi-meter, a bit of electrical tape, some duct tape, a bit of 18 and 22 gauge stranded wire, a few posi-locks, and a small assortment of m4, m5, and m6 fasteners (in a small baggie or plastic container. I also have a small first-aid kit with some scissors, razor blade, tape, gauze, band-aids, little bottle of alcohol, visine eye drops, antibiotic gel, q-tips, and insect repellent.

The first-aid kit gets more use (mostly the eye drops, sometimes a band-aid, and insect repellent (in the summer). I have not had to use the tools on my bike, but have helped others a time or two.

Building a tool kit for my R1200RT

I did a search and only found one thread for tool kits and it was for air-heads but wanted more info. I am putting together a tool kit to carry onboard. I am not 100% sure of what to put together so I figured I would ask. For those of you with wet-heads, what tools do you carry and how...

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...

Those SVB kits are the cat's meow . Both my brother and I have them and I use mine frequently for maintenance. Very well put together and much lighter then my cobbled together toolkit I had before.. A bit pricey perhaps, but the quality is there and good tools are worth it IMHO. I also added a small multimeter, tape, extra fuses and a Gerber multitool. YMMV

The tools BMW includes are just about useless. On the RT they include a tool to open the oil fill cap, it's the only tool supplied by BMW I use. I purchased earlier set of the following (more tools, lower price) https://www.advdesigns.com/ulcotokitfor.html They have been very good tools that have help me an others.

Blazer, the screwdriver handle is what you use on the oil fill cap.

I went back and looked at the SBV tool roll and saw that it came with a small pair of vise grip pliers. So, I will amend my additions to be the Knipex plier-wrench, a bit of baling wire, electrical wire, electrical and duct tape, posi-lock connectors, multi-meter, multi-tool, fastener assortment, and a "cresent" adjustable wrench. Since I am left-handed, I prefer the left-handed metric wrench.

I typically build a took kit on a new bike based on removing/installing wheels as you may have to do that in a parking lot some day if a dealer doesn't have time to get your bike into service but could mount tires if you just brought in the wheels.

Also, for taking side panels and gas cap ring. The oem seat has some items there.

Not much you can fix on the side of the road on a modern wethead, thus minimal tools are included. You should have tools to pull the wheels and remove some tupperware anyways.

I have both right and left handed crescent wrenches in Whitworth..

I'm surprised a new RS has that many tools!

Thank you all for your replies.

My tool kit contains everything I need to do any maintenance that I do on the bike. Beside tools I carry an assortment of tap and jb weld. I also have an assortment of bolts and body screws. In addition I carry a GS911 and a small lap top. I also carry a tire repair kit, motion pro bead breakers and tire irons. I have two lengths of 2×2 hardwood with holes drilled in for weight, long enough to change a tire. A bunch of microfiber cloths. I know this maybe over kill for many, but the only time I have been stranded on the road, was when a valve stem seal went on my GSA. Now I carry a spare valve stem. I also have a few small torix screw drivers so I can open up the switch gear, and a small can of silicone lube. You ride enough dirt you will have switch gear gum up...

I do all my own work, so I'm comfortable with the bikes mechanicals and can fix most stuff.
