What's in the tool kit?

As the title says really.......

I have a 2000 (Y) model nekkid curvey and want to put together a toolkit to fill the lonely gap under the pillion seat. If someone can tell me what's in it I'll be really grateful.

Cheers folks

Just put in what you need. Some decent spanners, allen keys, pliers, spark plug spanner(?), pen knife, mini head torch..... you get the idea.

I ditched the standard toolkit and using two chinese meal containers made up my own. All the below is just under the pillion seat.

WD40 200ml size
Spare clutch and brake lever
3/8" drive t-bar
Block of wood for front plug removal
Container No1 : Spare bulbs and fuses including the small type fuse for alarm
Road tax disc
Container No2: 8,10,12,14 combination spanners
14/17 spanner
OE Plug Socket
1/4" Rachet and long extension
Pliers
Coat hanger wire bits to support calipers when off.
3,4,5 allen keys
short 3/8" extension
3/8" to 1/4" adaptor
22,19,14,13,12 3/8"sockets
Valve extractor
4,6,8 & 2 cross head bits plus 1/4" adaptor
8,10,12 1/4" sockets

Plus various length cable ties slotted around the rear fairing



Hope that gives you some ideas

what petevtwin650 has done is a great idea, the standard suzi tool kit is barely enuf to get by with, the only things i would add are a pucture repair kit and a fiver.

Pete's got the right idea, under the seat of the Kwak IIRC currently sits:

molegrips
Screwdrivers
Spanners in 8 - 14mm
Sockets in 10 - 17mm
Ratchet with extension
External circlip pliers (Carried as I've been on 2 rideouts when pointy gear levers have become disconnected)
Alen keys
Plug socket
about 3ft of gaffa tape wrapped around one of the other tools
about 3ft of insulating tape wrapped around a tool
Pair of latex gloves
Bungee net
Puncture repair kit

Spare levers to be attached inside rear plastics at the weekend (That'll have sod's law break one between now and then)

Mobile phone and an AA card

(someone had to say it)

Well this is a useful thread, some good ideas there for safety and those needs to "get you out of the s**t" ocationally. Thanks guys. I like the lever set idea.
I always carry a cargo net and a couple of bungees.
Don't think I could fit two takeaway boxes and the spray and the levers under my pointy seat though. Possibly with the rear cowel on though, I'll have to check.
Thanks.

Yes some good ideas.

Levers can be bought as a set off of e-bay for £15 plus postage, but I went into my local small bike shop and he did me a set for 18 quids. Well worth carrying to get you or a mate out of the poo.

Bungy straps are ok but a bit bulky. What I have under the riders seat are some luggage straps. The type that go around suitcases. They are about 30 cm long and you can join them together. Very useful for holding on bits that have fallen off. Use a cable tie to keep them compressed when not in use.

lock and more locks! no one is stealing my baby!

tyre repair kit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!is a must!!!!

wd40 and the crap tools you get with it!

Ok, I have only ever had punctured tyres replaced on my bike. What exactly does a puncture repair kit for a tubeless tyre consist of and how do you administer it on the side of the road?
