Almost identical, with a small pair long nose pliers to removing objects from tyres, and putting an emergency spring link on the chain, and a multitool in my pocket.
Really important topic.
Safe, happy travels 👍
Yes, I have multi-tool Letherman in my jacket pocket always.
It would probably be a good idea to have an open 17 to tighten the mirrors
Mirrors are the last thing I will think of.
Hi Pavlin.
As usual good advice
Following difficulties dismantling my rear brake callipers.
I recently replaced spindly (skinny/weak) Allen keys with some to use with socket wrench.
A big benefit for a little weight
Cheers.Barry.Uk🏍
Thanks for sharing, Barry!
EXCELLENT VIDEO, thank you, I’m carrying WAY TO MUCH, so my toolkit is going on a diet.
Glad to help!
Thanks Pavlin, once again a great piece of unapologetic advice!
On-board tooling is only supposed to help you out fixing trifle issues - or to ‚limp‘ your way to the next town, garage or shelter at best.
My tooling:
- Wrenches, screwdrivers and nuts to access only the most common parts of the bike
- A little electrical 12V test lamp to localize electrical issues
- Tyre repair ‚slugs‘ and mounting kit (incl. spare valves) and a very tiny 12V compressor
- some high-temp emergency sealant
- the tiniest WD-40 spraycan there is, as it’s very versatile (I even once lighted an emergency camp fire after breaking down in a moist forest in the middle of nowhere)
- a few feet of electrical wire (to fix or bypass faulty electrical issues - or to fixate loose/broken stuff)
- a handful of zipties, because why not?
That‘s it and it all fits nicely under my seat (admittedly, 30+ years old bikes had enough room under the rear fairing to fit all of it neatly 😅).
Thanks for sharing, M.L.!
Thank you very much. Don't forget the socket for spark plug
Yes, I have it, just forget to show it.
Looks about right. I added tire irons, a pump and patch kit. Flat tires are a constant problem in south America. My Goldwing tool kit in the US has gotten pretty big. Special torc and hex for my buddy's triumph and a wiring kit with wire, terminals, fuses, zip ties and tape. On one ride I reconnected the battery on a scooter that had fallen over. Got to the top of a mountain and there was a Harley with loose handlebars. I had a socket to tighten the bolts. Got a little carried away on my last trip and my socket set was too much for my saddlebag.
Thanks for sharing!
Oh man you are carrying the adventure/touring community right now. Loved the red tape on tools idea. Great video!
Glad to help!
Not enough, too much - difficult to find the right amount. Thanks for showing your tool kit, Pavlin. Also a good preparation before the trip does help ;-)
Riding in groups we discuss who takes what beforehand, so we save weight and share during the trips. Günter/Nürnberg
Thanks for watching!
Excellent! Thanks again Pavlin.
My pleasure!
Thank you for all your great videos, they have helped me in preparing for my trip to Chile coming up. I also was fortunate to visit Varna recently and really enjoyed my time there. Happy riding!
My pleasure!
As always very informative vid, thanks!
My pleasure!
Amazing mini series Pavlin, well done and thanks for sharing! 👍👍
My pleasure!
I like your diy screwdrivers rack/support, Pavlin
Thanks, man!
Completely agree, Pavlin. Good sound advice. I stripped my tools down to a few spanners (a short set), a Motion Pro three ended 1/4” drive lever and four sockets to fit it, a 1/4” drive screwdriver and a set of screwdriver and allen bits, along with a chain-tool and spare links. Three tyre levers (one with a 22mm spanner end for wheel spindles) a few spares and two tyre-tubes. If anything on the bike is an odd size I swap it out for a SS allen screw whilst doing maintenance at home, so I’ll have the right tool for the job.
I don’t ride your long distances but my bike is a 30 years old (and smaller) Yamaha. With that set I can do most things that I am capable of on the road. Oh, and I’m a qualified mechanic. Les
Thanks for sharing!
Excellent video Pavlin as always. I like the practical cut down spanners with the extension Bar and the tried and tested tools for the particular bike you are using. As ever good sound advice for tools, parts and kit. Keep up the very useful excellent videos based on your vast experience travelling on the Motorcycle! Thank you.
Glad to help, John!
Always professional advices !
Thanks, man!
All good points Pavlin. Safe travels
Thanks, man!
Thanks a lot for this! I find that also pliers are something useful to keep in the toolkit.
Cheers, V.
I have multi-tool in my jacket pocket.
Nice, concise, well organised!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the good video and tips. I use a slightly different concept. I have replaced most accessible bolts with the same size Allen key version. I always keep a comfortable long shaft Allen key (and a few essential spanners) in my tank rucksack, so that it is easy to check or re- tighten any loose bolt at all stop without having to get out all the tools. I ride a 30 year old Honda Transalp, so there are a few "specialities". The rest is: as you say. 👍
Thanks for sharing, Martin!
Very useful information. And you don't waste time. Thanks Pavlin.
Duly subscribed.
Thanks!
Sound advice....as usual😊
Glad it was helpful!
Good man
Thanks!
The only mistake I made with my tool kit going to Morocco was tire levers. To reduce weight I went with short billet motion pro levers. To change a dual sport tire with very stiff side walls Continental TKC 80s you need long levers. I'll carry 2 long levers next time.
Cheers mate. Keep the vids coming.
Thanks for sharing!
This is the way
Good!
Excellent video and topic Pavlin, especially since Spring is coming up and everyone is getting ready to ride. I’m wondering if you could follow up this video with a “how to” change tubes out on the road and the tools you recommend? Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching, man! There are more than enough videos like this on RUclips and I don't think that I will show anything new.
Understand, thanks anyway!
Good video. Was the socket for the spark plug in there? I didn't see it.
Bought it after the video.
Hi Pavlin
Do you remove your spark plug with a spanner or do you need a plug spanner
I did not see it in your tool kit
Great video and very helpful
Plug spanner. I forgot to add it in the video.
What's the best place to store tyre levers on the T7?
Depends on the size of the levers. I showed mine in the video.
Very good video, although not much use to me. I ride a 430kg bagger and there is very little I can do on the side of the road with that monster. So my most important tools is my mobile phone (get best coverage) and credit card ;)
Fair enough!
👍🏼
Thanks for watching!
Hi.Pavlin !🖖Is the Acerbis T7 23L fueltank in as a topic what do you think about it?should it be installed?
No! I don't have any ideas to add this to my motorcycle.
🙌🏻👏🏻👑
Thanks for watching!
Motorcycle~you mad eepic - talk to you soon,
Thanks for watching!
I feel like I had already seen the same video on your channel some years ago, just with the old Teneré. The content is pretty much the same, though
Even the tools are about the same and I don't think that I am going to change anything in the near future.
I don’t see a spark plug socket.
Forgot to show it.
A good bike is the one you only need a multitool knife on your belt .
Fair enough! I will be curious to see how you would change the oil with multi tool.
@@motorcycleadventures the new multi knife have sockets.
And if your oil filter is one from iron what you compleet have replace.
You use a knife and stick Strade tro it and turn it loose.
Its a oil filter in side.
Just ad just so you can use one of the thinks on your multitool knife sockets.
I think you have to look in those multitool knife serie.
A lot have change and a lot have even a hammer beuld in.
Personal i use a bike what is air coolt than water cool systeem .
How more basic the bike is how easy is to repair .
Its just my 2cents about it.
I love your youtube channel so go on with new thinks .
I Learn a lot from it.
I think that you over estimate the multi tools, but... Thanks for taking the time anyway!
No electrical tools ?
Simple tester ect
Bits ov wire , fuzes
Test screw driver that lights up ?
I have them. Watch the previous video, spare parts.
A hammer, cause when all else fails a man needs a hammer
True
Damn you beat me to it Jonty!!!😁🥃
I hate this video!😊
No worries!
