Pro tip - get a pencil and transfer the gorilla tape to the pencil. depending on the pencil you can usually fit two rolls, one at the top and one at the bottom. This allows maximum gorilla tape for minimal carry space. You can do the same in your 1st aid kit with the bandage tape. also, i would add a small tow rope ;)

I agree that with a group you can reduce spares, however I think there is a lot to be said for each person within a group being self sufficient. Having previously been a bit of 'kit monster' in various pursuits, I definitely subscribe to having tools that do multiple jobs and avoiding the temptation of taking multiple options for each job. The excitement is rising in Spain for the mid year trip north.

Velkommen! Thanks a lot for the tip, I’ll add it to the list of things to take a closer look at. I’m riding the TET mid-July, hope our paths cross.

I also have a Lezyne bicycle pump, but it's a lot bigger, wider diameter and will be a lot quicker to pump up motorcycle tyres. It's not that much heavier than the tiny one you have. I used it on the trail recently and it only took a about 1 minute to get an extra 10 psi into the tyre that was looking a little flat. It's lighter than carrying 4 CO2 canisters and never runs out.

Great lightweight adv kit except I would add these items… spare air filter or air filter skins, spare shift and clutch levers. Quick steel epoxy is also good to bring as well as silicon tape. A good pair of small needle nose vice grips is a good addition seeing that you kit is pared down so well the extra weight would not be excessive. Bring along some co2 cartridges and valve to pop that bead back on you will be glad you did.

I need to find a lightweight one. I have a heavy metal racthet strap but would be too much for my tool kit

Great video. Thanks. I always love seeing what other people carry and why. My bike has tubeless tires which I love, so I don't carry spare tubes. I do carry a small patch kit in case I need to help someone else. Most people opt for a small air compressor, but like you, I carry a bicycle pump. I chose a Blackburn mountain bike pump (higher volume and lower pressure) that's lightweight but probably three times the volume per stroke compared to that gorgeous little minimalist pump you have. It'll still take a long time to pump up a motorcycle tire but I didn't want the weight and complexity of a compressor, and a bike pump is more reliable and field repairable. My tool roll is a bit more comprehensive and general purpose compared to yours although very similar in philosophy, other than my tire plugs instead of spare tubes. I have the same Motion Pro T handle wrench. I've been struggling with the chain repair tool. I didn't want the size or the weight of the Motion Pro PBR, but all the others seemed like wasted money on a tool that didn't do all of the jobs needed to repair a chain or would fail when I needed it most. Thanks. Alcohol wipes are good to remove grease from parts or hands, although I carry a few nitrile gloves to hopefully keep grease off my hands. I use my tool roll when working on the motorcycle in the garage. That's the best way to know what tools I need and which tools I don't need. It was easy to remove the spark plug on my old DR350, but on my G310GS, I need to remove the fuel tank, use a special tool to remove the coil pack, and use another special tool to remove the spark plug. :-(

Thank you for the kind words! The PBR tool isn’t really lightweight, but as you say it does all the things you need to fix a broken chain. I’ve seen smaller and lighter options out there, but this one is high quality and I know it won’t fail me when I reallt need it. I too use my tools at home as well, but I might add a few longs spoons for tire changes in the future 😁 I know I can do it with these shorter aluminium ones, but it’s not a pleasant thing to do..

I keep coming back to this video - it reinforces the message that you can't bring everything... To the tensions between strong vs weak, small vs large, light vs heavy, cheap vs expensive I realise can now be added probable vs possible and capable vs incapable. I realise there's less point bringing a tool if it is unlikely to ever be used or I'm not competent to use it (Diego makes that point very well). I remember watching a what-tools-do-I-bring video uploaded by an American lady off-road tour leader - she was asked by a client why hadn't she included the brilliant Motion Pro T6 chain tool (strong, small, light but expensive). She replied that in over 10 years of running tours neither she nor any of her clients had ever needed one. And as you say at 14:38, personal past experience can be very informative.

I am a big fan of the motion pro trail tool, small and compact, so easy to carry, it sits perfectly in my tank bag and can be used to strip down the bike in next to no time. And just to add to the fact the DR650 is the best adventure bike on the market, it has a great space to fit a tool tube on the opposite side to the exhaust under the seat, a piece of 80mm PVC pipe roughly 470mm long, containing my small tool roll, tyre levers and small compressor along with some disposable gloves, then my fender bag on the front guard for front and rear tubes, so all my tools are on the bike all the time and nothing gets left behind. Only real spares you need to carry would be brake pads, master link for the chain, spare pre oiled air filter for longer trips and maybe 2 fibre clutch plates and spare wheel bearings, the issue with spares is you need to do the miles to find out what can go wrong, the internet is great but in reality only first hand knowledge helps, some bikes have issues with stators for example but they vary in mileage as to how long they last before they burn out or regulator/ rectifier issues, no electrical power no go because the battery not charging. Do you carry a spare stator and rectifier or upgrade to better units ? My original stator lasted 180,000 klms before it burnt out, the regulator lasted over 200K, I upgraded the stator with a more powerful unit to handle more power draw and also upgraded the regulator to handle the more powerful stator, but I only learned this through doing the miles. The school of hard knocks is the best way to learn what goes wrong and what doesn’t along with what to carry with you and what not.

@@JohannesDalen Rear brake pads can wear real fast in mud, air filters can get dirty very quickly in dusty areas so a pre oiled air filter and filter skins come in real handy, and can pack down small so take up little space, basically riding in summer means air filters and winter would mean brake pads. Things like Cush drive bearings or what you might call sprocket carrier bearings can get faulty at anytime, planning ahead is good in theory but you never know what will happen day to day so carrying parts that can be high wear items is a good idea, even tyres are a bit of a gamble at times, sometimes you may have to replace them sooner than you hoped to so you may have to compromise on what tyre you can get rather than want. Even something like carrying a spare front sprocket is a good idea, they do tend to wear faster than the rear and once again rain and mud will make them wear faster, a chain is normally easy to obtain but sprockets are not. Same thing for fork seals, not always in stock at a dealers and seals can start leaking for many reasons. It is all a gamble as to what spares you carry or don’t but all these items are small and light, same goes for clutch plates. It is not always a case of being stranded but a case of preventing more damage, worn brake pads will wear the disc, a clogged air filter can restrict performance and also let dirt into the engine causing wear, a collapsed bearing could damage the hub or carrier. In a country like Australia you can be hundreds of kilometres from anywhere when something goes wrong, unlike Europe 😂 so being self sufficient comes in real handy, many a time I have been out riding and not seen another vehicle for hours.

Lots of mtn bike models that will work better Add a valve stemmer puller, makes tube changes much easier Add a motion pro aluminum master link tool and spare master link Add a tube patch kit T-handle best tool going !!!

Hi Johannes, I like to ask you for an advice regarding the combo tool for tire change and wheel nut you use. I had a similar tool but not the same that worked well for my enduro bikes, but when trying to unscrew the rear wheel nut on the 690 it bended and was just too weak to untighten the 90Nm that is the torque spec for the 690. I like to have light tools and was wondering if the ones you have really can unscrew a nut that was torqued with 90 Nm? Did you test it? If so I will go for the same tools, but like to be on the safe side before spending the money.

Hello there, a very good question. I haven’t removed the wheels on my 701 yet, but the T7 that I used to own had listed 105nm as axle nut torque (if I remember correctly). And there were pages after pages with people complaining about tools being bent out on the trail trying to loosen it. Mitch from Rally Raid said that there is no need to torque them that hard, just hand tighten so you can use the same tool out on the trails if you ever need to. If Mitch says that, I’ll listen to him, he’s a very clever guy and have sold motorcycle parts for a long time. So I’ll remove the wheels, then hand tighten when I put them back on. Every second or third ride I usually take a three minute inspection of the bike that includes the most important nuts like axle nuts, front sprocket nut and a few other small bits, just to be sure. Never had an axle nut go loose on me when hand tighten. Hope this was helpful.

Get rid of MP bead buddy, in emergency you can knee on a tyre and keep it from sliding off, and this buddy is rather a thick kid🤣. Buy a valve cap wit a remover end and get rid of dedicated valve remover tool. Add a long screw, don’t remember now whether it should be M5 or 4, that you can use to pull out valve stem. Without it it is a pain in a back. Consider bringing aluminum tape and aluminum quick repair compound (play-do type of a thing). Both might be life savior when you puncture a whole in a case or some bolt tread is cracked in a middle of nowhere. Also instead of chain tool, consider taking a small file and a spare master link with a clip. Will do in emergency and will save substantially weight and volume.
