just saw this someplace else , sounded like a good question .


Just bought a '16 1000XP today and it will be used mostly for wandering about, exploring and just general farting around. Would like to assemble a basic/small toolkit to use for the most common repairs. I intend to keep a spare drive belt, so would like to know which tools are required to change that, other than the obvious from looking at the outside of the case.

Given that, if you could only have 10 tools, please list them in order of priority:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

I am in the process of building a tool bag for my XPT. On top of the tool bag we also carry a spare tire, jack and lug wrench. Changing a flat is much easier than plugging a tire IMO.
1.Factory tool kit. which includes the tools to change a belt and other bits of junk i try not to rely on. Belt tool in my case is a 1/4-20 screw with a handle to spread the sheaves on the secondary and some scotch bright to clean them if need be.
2. Plugs.
3. Can of Fix-A-Flat.
4. Pump.
5. Tow line and/or Rope
6. 3/8" Ratchet and Metric socket set.
7. Cresent Wrench.
8. Set of Metric Allens
9. Needle Nose Pliers
10. Hammer

I carry a good selection of tools but, you can never Carry 100% of what you need, collectively, you can with your group. I've found that different riders, consider different things to be important. Some more prepared for things that others don't. Together, they'll have a solution for most things that happen... Just my take...
