I am disappointed , I read the title and was all ready to tell you how I like an Uzi or a big revolver!
How ever emergency tools depends on what bike you’re riding.
My bikes have fairings so I’m not going to be doing a lot engine or frame repairs on the roadside.
I always keep some cable-ties on my bike, also the tool kit that came with the bike.
My best aid for roadside troubles is my RAC recovery card.
EDIT: I always carry a couple of chain links if I’m going touring (not very often). ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now!

And a puncture repair kit by the sounds of it. |

Standard Honda/KTM bike specific under seat tools, string kit, electric tyre inflator, needle nose pliers, sharp knife for cutting string.
If you leave the string sticking out like a tampon there's a high chance it will get dislodged.
Otherwise I've limped home with a dodgy set of points in the fuel pump of the CBR, screwdriver helped there.
Failed to get home with dodgy trapped wiring on the KTM, snapped clutch arm on the CBR, snapped clutch cable on the same bike another time.
The snapped clutch cable is the only one I could have sorted at the roadside if I had the part or a repair kit.
Otherwise I've sorted three flat rear tyres away from home, that is why I always carry the tyre kit. ____________________

I also carry way too much tools with me. Hand pump as well as electric one.. Tube patches, tubes, all the usual stuff.
I don't bother with oil or water though- Unless I'm on the 2t. ____________________ CBT: 12/06/10, Theory: 22/09/10, Module 1: 09/11/10, Module 2: 19/01/11

35YO Honda Fusion, when on tour:
- plug
- CDI
- coil pack
- bulbs
- wheel bearings
- exhaust manifold
- exhaust gaskets
- oil
- coolant
- carb cleaner
- fuel filter
- chemical metal
- fuel pump
- drive belt
- fuses, Scotchloks, spare nuts and bolts, tape, folded wire coathanger, chemical metal etc.
- tools, tyre pump, plugging kit
(of course none of this is needed if on board and, yes, the one time I didn't bother it broke hundreds of miles from home and yes, the boot is huge).
DN-01
- nothing.
tl;dr - modern bike? Don't sweat it. |
