Adventure Motorcycle Tool Kit (Gear and Beer 🍺 Ep1) Honda Africa Twin

[@radar8988]

Awesome! I was able to get the Klim bag on EBay about a year ago... love it

[@jdcochran5839]

Really great content overall, love the channel, and this video in particular was well done and super helpful.

[@MrRabbitthumper]

Thanks for this. New to adventure biking (AT Adventure Sports) and planning a 9500mi. ride across Canada this year...alone.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Wow that’s an amazing trip! If you will be posting on instagram what’s your account name? id like to follow along.

[@MrRabbitthumper]

@@backcountryadvmoto 1957konaman. Yes will be posting. Trip is planned for either beginning July or beginning August 2022. Thanks for all the great content 👍🏾

[@509FUN]

Btw the tool kit pouch also is shipped with every KLIM backpack

[@JEH-1020]

You should look into a Knipex plier-wrench.

[@michaelthompson7570]

Nice to hear a young man narrate without every other word being ,,,you know!

[@arminwendt4568]

Watched this 2X. Great presenter, was looking for specific AT tools to drag along. Beer was a nice touch, made me thirsty. Ride safe!

[@jjustj]

Very complete, If you dont mind me adding a couple of things...One being stainless steel zip ties, they are great and can be used wherever heat might damage a plastic one( exhausts). My other is a tip..... white out yes white out not to be taken with but, in shop after you have tightened fasteners a small line or dot on head of bolt and mating surface. If you see the paint not matching up its probably loosened. Alot faster to visually inspect problem nuts or bolts, critical ones too wheel axles etc....

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Very good add ons! I use whiteout all the time on fasteners, and used to carry stainless zip ties, but for some reason quit doing that. Maybe I’ll throw some back in. Thanks!

[@markjacobs6294]

Awesome job on tool kit. Mine is almost identical. I carry a small light hand pump also. Tool mat no longer sold but a piece of Tyvek works also, make a pouch on it to hold bolt etc. Also a 4 foot double ended SAE cord to jump bikes. I like to use a SAM splint folded, not rolled, to hold my first aid kit and always have some Voile Straps also. I'm old and my riding buddies are too. The knees are not what they used to be and I can't get anyone but me to wear braces...it's not only your bike that may break. I separated my bicep tendon in the middle of nowhere, alone in Colorado lifting my 800. Thus the 690 now....

[@backcountryadvmoto]

All great tips. Thanks!

[@bmwlane8834]

I just bought that tool mat. It's made in the US.

[@markschultheis9522]

Thank you. Great youtube. The new AT comes with very few tools. Building this kit will be a lifesaver. And can't wait to drink a Rupture IPA in FC. Thanks again.

[@rhllnm]

Tusk/Rocky Mountain ATV is my go to source for everything. Spare clutch cable for the KLR (I've had two break on me). P.S. I put a 21" in my 17" rear and it went flat within 20 miles. I now carry both tubes.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

yep, I have a RM dealer account. everything comes from them. sorry the front to rear didnt work out. but yes its ideal to carry the right extra tube

[@long_vacation_tour]

I've learned a lot from your video. Thank you, bro.

[@garykeighley712]

Thanks for showing me what you carry this will help me build up my tool kit for my AT 👍

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Gary Keighley glad to help

[@carlpop2324]

I don’t have an Africa Twin, or a Honda, but this was well worth my time for the tips on vice grips, fuses, wire splicing, and your overall organization. That beer looks good, too!

[@backcountryadvmoto]

glad you got something out of it. Thanks for checking it out.

[@davidforeman2734]

Love to see how that tire tool works.

[@DorkintheRoad]

Dude. Love the format! This was exactly the info I've been looking for for exactly the bike I ride. Thank you.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Dork in the Road glad I could help

[@jaypence1911]

Tire change video using that tool would be cool! It takes me forever to change em..so anything that helps would be nice!

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Noted!

[@Whofarted69_Ph.D]

Same. I’ve seen that No Pinch too but never an actual user review/demo. I had a rear flat on my ATAS the first time I had it on dirt and it sucked ass. I’m definitely interested in anything that makes it easier.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

clarksc123 I’ll do it on an episode very soon. It won’t be in tomorrow’s, but maybe next weeks!

[@cannedSardina]

Never heard about the torch and weld sticks. Makes greats sense!

[@737T1C130]

Just bought my Africa Twin and looking for tips. I appreciate you sharing what you've learned from experience. First thing I did was replace the windshield and lost the wellnuts down inside. Had to tear down the entire bike! LOL.

[@DiegoAstorga]

Can't wait to watch a video about how the Baja no pinch tool and the MRS work!.

Realy good kit, the only thing im missing in the rotopax is a small mulitmeter. Especialy on such a modern bike.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

This is true, and I actually do carry one. Cant believe I forgot to mention it

Video coming for sure

[@anomie6788]

Yep could of use that charger yesterday, turn the bike off with the kill switch, left the key on , the GPS drained the battery to nothing. Had to get a jump start from a truck (tried push starting the bikes to heavy) it was kinda sketchy where the hot jumper cable connects to the battery, is about a 1/4 of an inch from the grounded crash bar.

[@Maritimer]

Hey man ! this is such a great video for someone like myself. Im new to the motorcycle world, and I wasn't sure what to carry on my Africa for a tool kit. you should definitely do more videos like this. Thanks again !

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Thanks a lot! Glad to help. That’s why I do these videos. Helping others so they don’t learn the hard way

[@mariskuenen2465]

Not only for the new motorcycle rider. I am a police motorcycle instructor and I learned a lot from someone who takes the time to post such videos. Thanks and please show more like how to videos. Replacing tires using the tools you carry. So grateful for searching your knowledge.

[@commonsensepatriot9450]

I put mine together based on exactly what fasteners are on my bike and what I expect to need.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Absolutely. No need to carry extra stuff for no reason. But I will say sometimes I do try and carry tools that fit my buddies bike as well because there’s been several times where I’ve been with a riding buddy and something has gone wrong and that person wasn’t prepared and it would’ve messed up up the trip for both us is and I was was able to save our our bacon by being prepared for them lol

Outstanding

[@advrider7777]

U need 12v multi meter or at least voltage tester and chain tool plus spare chain link which I save when fitting a new chain and a chain joining link Yes chances of breaking a chain is highly unlikely . I’ve seen it happen

[@backcountryadvmoto]

You know it’s funny you bring this up, because after rewatching this video I realized that I didn’t mention that I bring a small tester. I also have a very small chain tool as well. Sorry I didn’t mention that, but thanks for adding it down here in the comments

[@twitchc2588]

Excellent Video Thank you

[@backcountryadvmoto]

You are welcome!

[@TheFoxyt2]

Love the vids. I bought that butane torch and similar rods and the 1300c 503 torch doesn’t have the heat to braze 1/4 aluminum sheet as a test. I bought a cool adapter to use jet boil fuel to refill torch. My larger propane torch can heat up base and then I rub the rod and it works great. The Amazon torch link is way different from the torch in the vid. What torch that is small and could be used in the field? Great idea btw! I’m just testing before I’m in the field and really need it.

[@TheFoxyt2]

I wonder if my jet boil fuel in the 503 torch has a lesser heat rating than pure butane. I like the idea of being able to refill my torch with jet boil from my cooking set with a tiny adapter, which I tested and won't brazer the aluminum I tested with. My large propane torch (too big for MC IMO) works great though and many people along the trail will have those, so having the alumin weld rods is a "cool hack"! I LOVE your vids! I have the same helmet and purchased lots of gear based on your recommendations. keep up the good work!

If you wrap a tow strap around the handle bar you are sorting out life’s course on ur own. What happens when you turn before the guy behind you can think about it

[@Mathew187187]

I have the answer he’s screwed.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

No I think you’re misunderstanding. The point of just wrapping it around and holding it with your hand is if the guy being towed for any reason doesn’t like what’s going on in front he lets go and the two aren’t connected anymore. It’s not like the towing is being done on tight single track. Generally, at least if you’re being safe about it the towing is being done on a road or area where turning is a minimum. I’ve done this a number of times and I’ve never had an issue but there is always that one guy. That guy could be you I guess 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Mathew187187]

You are incorrect but go ahead and give it a whirl.

[@Mathew187187]

You wrap it wrong and it won’t come off. You have to figure new riders are watching you
