motorcyle trail tools/spare parts - post a photo

[Rusted]

What tools and/or spare parts do you carry with you for a day trip or just a ride with buddies? What are the items you have found are practical?

Post photos if you can!

Here's mine from a few years ago. Not much has changed however I have moved all this weight off of my back and into fender packs/saddle bags which made a huge difference.

Like I said I dont always pack it all or any of it. But for the average ride solo or with one person in areas the would really suck to walk out of I usually pack it all but the spare tube. I only carry the tube when Im doing 50+ miles

i ride a wr....

i just got a new back pack from wal mart that has a built in hydration pack. i plan on adding some stuff.

i got a small bike pump from walmart for 10 bucks. its been put to good use a few times already

50' of 1800# mule tape

Yep this is a must have. I was pulled over 11 miles once using mule tape. Tie it in a knot it if it breaks or braid it if you need more strength.... Light weight and stows away nicely. Great stuff

I'll post up what I carry on a normal ride, solo or not, probably tomorrow. In short, I don't really carry many (if any) spare parts. Most of my stuff is tools. I used to carry a ton but found there wasn't a need most of the time. Like a tube, unless you're riding way far then a tube is just extra weight. You can ride quite a ways on a flat (front or rear).

So tonight I was packing up to go put down some miles on the south of 5 mile tomorrow. I'm riding with one other and he is a newer rider but surprisingly fast. This will be by far the most miles he has done in a day. So I'm going prepared for both of us. No spare tube but everything else including the full bladder of water. Also with uncertain weather I tossed in a compressed down coat, hat and warm gloves just incase.

I'm with Cheston. With a WR, you don't need spare parts. Actually a carry wrenches from 8mm up to 14 mm. Phillips and regular screw drivers, duct tape, rope, Allen wrenches, clutch and break handles for a Honda because they will also fit a Yamaha, water, spare gloves, knife, light, lighter and condoms. Actually, no condoms just checking to see if anyone is paying attention. Some quick energy food too. I used to carry tubes and a small tire iron but I was the one who never got the flat so I quit carrying them and then got the flat on the next ride. I also carry an extra water bottle and an empty squished up water bottle to use as a gas can when pulling fuel from one bike to pour in another if they run out. This is actually used more than anything else I'm my bag.

Really no need to carry levers if you have bark busters on. I carry them for others to use.

I can tell you that a Dunlop 606 will start tossing knobbies and showing belts at 23 miles and by 35 really start coming apart.

One thing I heard is you can carry just the front tire tube. (I thought I saw this idea on here somewhere) If the rear goes flat, the front tube will still be able to get you out. This way you can save the weight/capacity of carrying two tubes.

Here's what I normally carry in my tail bag:



Wrenches and sockets from 6mm up to 14mm, pliers, screwdrivers, spare bolt kit, master link, spare spark plug, tow strap, para cord, and a clean rag. I also always have water, a knife, my gun, and some snacks to hold me over should I get stuck somewhere unexpectedly or I need some quick energy.

 

[jentzschman]

Caleb, what is in the mesh bag?

 

[Caleb]

It's a tow strap that has a couple clevis hooks for either end.

Nice. You carry your weapon I see. I was wondering about weather or not to carry mine.

Never leave home without it. The number of weirdos and animals I've come across while out riding, I don't dare go without it. The few times that I forget to put it in, I feel bare.

What do you carry, if you don't mind me asking? I have a G19 and wonder if its too heavy to carry? I really want to get a G26

It really depends on what other gear I have with me. I either carry a fullsize Walther P99 or I carry a Sig P290. I'm a way better shot with the P99 so I prefer to carry it, but sometimes I can't fit it so the P290 comes with. My buddy that always rides with me always has a G26 on him when riding. That would be a good gun to carry while riding but I prefer the single stack when actually carrying so I haven't bought anything else yet. I could see a G26 in my future for my riding gun.

On my WR, I had a small tool bag on the rear fender and I always had channel locks and a spark plug, A "husky" t-wrench that fit an 8 and 10 mm socket in the handle (for pulling off plastics), zip ties, and a small spool of bailing wire. For 90% of my quick fixes, these did the trick, and I liked it because I didn't need to take off my pack to change my plug or zip tie on a loose something-or-other.

In my pack I had water, needle nose pliers, a crescent wrench w/ some duct tape storage wrapped around the handle, A pack of various metric dirtbike bolts (I can't count how many times this came in handy for me or a friend), granola bar, gun, knife, and a cheapo blue tie-down strap (this also came in handy many times for various things including towing.)

I never really needed anything else. I've never gotten a flat out on the trail, so I haven't worried about a tube. (I'm glad that didn't ever bite me in the butt!)
