I have had lots of requests to make up toolkits for riders and my advice is almost always the same, you only need to worry and carry the tools you both know how to use and will fix the bits on your bike you know how to fix… That said, as promised, apart from spare tubes here is what I carry in my CRF1000L toolkit…
- 8mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm and a 15mm open end and ratchet spanner (all these will do the chain adjusters, and all the remaining odd nuts and bolts on the CRF).
- Three MotionPro tyre levers (08-0284 12-13mm), (08-0288 27mm), (08-0286 22mm).
- Two MotionPro Rim Shield II plastic covers.
- 27mm and 22mm socket and drive (you will not break the rear axle torque with the MotionPro levers so either under torque your axle or carry these).
- 8mm, 10mm and 12mm long reach socket and small driver.
- HW5 Hex.
- 17mm Axle key.
- Flat and cross head screwdriver.
- Tube patches, glue and rubber gloves.
- Cable ties.
- Spare brake lever (53170-MEJ-016) – the only thing that has stopped me dead on the CRF is a broken front brake lever.
- All in a Kriega tool roll and wrapped in a Karrimore waterproof kit bag.
Thanks for the list, i have been meaning to get you FB to list the items. One thing you could change is get Motion Pro 08-0327 27Mm T6 Combo Lever Adapter for the sockets to lose a few grams.
Delete last comment — Motion pro adapter still wont break the axle nut, so carry the extra grams with a ratchet!
Where do you use an 11mm?
On an 11mm nut 🙂 it’s one of the the 10mm so integral and handy in helping another biker
Hi, what do you need the 17mm axle key for?
It was a last minute edition to help on the German riders i knew i was meeting – not needed on the CRF but useful for the XT
