Great video! Just one comment about the rounded Allen keys - most of the Allen screws on the bike have shallower heads so the rounded ends don't engage as deeply. Ok if it's a screw that isn't too tight, but for the larger ones, you could have problems.
I got a set of tire levers like that from vevor. Seems very solid. Might be a little longer then those. Great for roadside fixing. Not that having to roadside fix is a great thing. Most of my toolks will go under there. Maybe a tube or two aswell. Depends on my wheel mods during this winter.
You can buy these at any good motorcycle store, or online. Aliexpress sell them much cheaper than what you see in this link, and I reckon that they are the same. www.mxstore.com.au/p/Ezymousse-Jap-Tyre-Lever-Axle-Wrench-Set/EZYM-3
hi from the UK . this is a major annoyance i have with modern ADV bike but you seem to have cracked it . i am currently riding a 2005 650 v strom and the under seat storage is like a cave i can carry almost anything , maybe i will get the transalp next year now 👍
Thank you. It really bothers me that there is a lack of storage options and that the air filters on a lot of bikes are now positioned under the fuel tank, which is generally OK for a road bike, but not for an adventure bike/adv tourer or the like. Cheers from the colony.

Thank you for this information.
Could you include the links for all the products you showed? Kinda trying to get together my toolkit for the Transalp.

Thanks. The tools do work fine, I do wish that my one's were a bit longer.
4:00 I have never seen such a combo of levers and keys with replaceble inserts to fit various nut sizes. Can you post a link to that? Thanks!

Although the T7 has an easy access air filter and pre filter...but apparently over oiling it can cause starting issues
Top Stuff Marty 👌
Thanks mate, I really appreciate your support. Happy New Year!
Hey Marty. What brand are those tyre lever/axle spanner combo?
Motion Pro Bead Breakers
And the damn manual doesn't even give you the rear wheel torque setting, 'take it to you dealer' my fat ass!
The manufacturers are doing there best to make it more difficult for owners.
Service manual says 100 Nm for rear axle. 65 Nm for front axle, 22 Nm for the pinch screws and 30 Nm for front brake calipers.
10c to supply some tools from China is 10c wasted 🤦♂️
😂
Dude go tubeless ...
