Toolkit

[Jfeuillet]

Hello. I want to have a toolkit for travels like I had on my Beemers. Never really used them but a toolkit is a nice add-on warm fuzzy.

What should I include in that kit?

Is there a list of tools that are more important when going long distances?

Thanks for your feedback.

It depends on the condition of the bike. I rode my '81 Yamaha XS1100 on a cross country trip in 1998 and had enough tools with me to rebuild the engine on a picnic table.

If you're doing it on a vintage Triumph pre-unit take enough tools to smelt parts in a roadside trash bin.

You shouldn't need more than a screwdriver some combination metric spanners and a set of pliers for most modern Triumphs.

Tools kits are available. I don’t know how they differ by model.

Worth looking into for piece of mind. The duct tape is interesting add. They do have a list of the tools in their kit as well.

My Bonneville didn't come with a tool kit, so I bought a set of Cruz tools. I've never had to use them but it's better to have them than not.
They aren't cheap but are high quality. I bought my set 15 years ago when they were a lot cheaper in price. That would also be my suggestion along with a tire patching kit and a means of inflating a tire.
