A great way to check your kit is to try service everything on the bike with your "on board" tools. This will give you a great baseline to work with. You can then make/optimise from your basic kit.

P R Doohan great advice 👍

Just put all my heaviest tools and spare parts in a tough bag and into the air box area, thank for the tip! Made my pack twice as light

Instead of a ramshackle assembly of spare parts and tools. I recommend carefully going over your bike and placing wrenches on fasteners and allen wrenches into fasteners, noting what fits which fastener. Then determine which tools you can eliminate by combining adjustable tools etc. for example you don't need to carry an extra shift lever, when you can hose clamp an allen wrench to the shaft of a shifter with a broken tip. These will be your base tools. Now pare these down to tools that you would need to only get you out of the woods. I use pill bottles to carry spare bolts, master links etc wrapped with 2' of duct tape. This holds your tape and strengthens your bottle. Just have enough to get you back.

I shared with some friends, good stuff. I also pack a tow strap in my airbox to tow broken bikes.

Couple of extra tips,.Carry 2 space blankets, you're going to get cold as well. Self amalgamating repair tape, have used it to repair water hoses. And some hose clips are 6mm. Also make sure they are orientated so you can access them with tank ect on.

steve bird great tips 👍

I paint all the small tool / bits a bright yellow , so you can see them when they fall in the grass. It also keeps the rust away.

I believe you on the weight of pack, I bought a Klim Arsenal vest a couple years ago and while its a good way to carry stuff and it distributes the weight really well, I found I was getting tired sooner on a ride and even bailed out early on a couple. Didn't connect that until I switched back to the Hydro 3 with just a 5 litre pouch added and moved tools and such to the bike for a quick day ride closer to home and rode for a couple hours longer and felt better. That vest just lets you stuff so much stiff in it that it gets heavy but you don't feel it because it carries so well. Now it's a small tank bag and rear fender bag.

Phil Ward makes a huge difference 😎👍

Find replacement bolts for aftermarket parts, so they match whatever is used OEM. KTM uses a lot of Torx, however many aftermarket parts still use Allen.

Cool tip for new 2020 Huskys: same lever works both for clutch and front brake :) Super good content, sir

awesome!

I found carrying tools up high in a back pack is much harder on the body and really requires a lot of additional energy, I prefer to carry tools in a fanny pack type of setup as it's much lower on the body and makes moving around on the bike much easier, with the choices in tire setup these days the need to carry all kinds of tire repair tools isn't really needed any longer and helps lighten the load, I've found the mold able epoxy in a tube works much better than the liquid stuff you squeeze out of a tube, if you need to plug a hole in a case, the emergency sleeping bags that are available are better than a space blanket and take up about the same amount of space.

Thanks very interesting.

Very good my friend, Shared ;-)

I broke a chain 14 mi from the truck. It was a long long push. I now carry 4-5 extra master links and a chain tool. For a while I even carried a spare chain 😂 funny how experiences can ruin you

Excelent, thank you,

wish i has u in my riding group.... but srsly, maybe put lighter in little pouch with zip so u dont end up losing all lighter fluids. cheers

It looks like motion pro stopped making that chain press and breaker. What is the brand of that backpack? Could you do a video on your gym workout routines?

Nice, tips!. The only thing that I haven't heard that you mentioned is some things from the first aid kit. Do you bring some with you just in case?

What an excellent video, thankyou!!!, you have thought about most eventualities. Do you ever have a need to a torque meter? Of is hand quesstimate good enough for emergencies?

It might be but maybe the jamming force is too great. I was thinking to eliminate the space where the chain gets jammed in the first place

Outback Enduro I’ve been thinking about reaching out to one of the plastics companies that make chain sliders for an adaptation to the existing slider to block that gap. But the gap is there for a reason, to allow people to run a variety of front sprocket sizes

I had the same thing happen to me stuck up a mountain in wales somewhere, with only a pair of long-nose players and a rock, managed to get the swing arm nut off , defendant would have been easier with the right tool..

I don't know what kind of enduro you are doing there, but you carry toooo manyyyy tools with you. One multifunctional plier, one spare sparkplug, one tubular 8, one little allen, little duct tape, little lockwire, some zipties and one master link for chain, and the ktm spanner for rear wheel/sparkplug etc. That's it, no bags, no extra pliers...
