Full ADV Tool Review: Surviving Motorcycle Travel

These tools have been in constant evolution since I first started building my kit a few years ago. As it stands right now, everything I have here sustains me through heavy off-road in Utah, breezy backroads of the MABDR, and all my travels in between. I am so happy with how everything has come together so far but there is always room for improvement so if you have any ideas, please let me know in the comments section.

I have a rather extensive 7 pound tool roll but it's all in there. My old brain can't remember having tools squirreled away in several locations. I'm a keep it simple kinda guy. I'm also a fan of ultralight despite my extensive tool roll, so even though I carry a lot of tools and repair supplies, there are no duplicates and I chose the lightest weight quality tools possible. I carry a mountain bike tire pump in the tool roll. It's lighter and more compact than a compressor but it's a bit tedious although more reliable and trail side repairable if needed. I carry 18 pound and 50 pound tensile strength cable ties. Get some quality cable ties instead of the multi-color fun pack from the dollar store. I carry a 50 foot hank of 1200 pound tensile strength Spectra cord (available on Amazon). It can be used for towing a bike, rescuing a bike that's down a ravine (Spanish windlass), or as a clothes line or bear bag haul line. It's the diameter of 550 pound tensile strength nylon 550 paracord. I wouldn't have tube tires on an ADV bike. I love that tubeless tires are very easy to plug without removing the tire and without carrying the tools for that labor intensive job.

[@walkerhjk]

You need spare light bulbs, fuses, chain link connectors , Schrader valve cores and caps, not forgetting the- tool to remove the cores, And you need a tyre pressure gauge, they are about the size of a ballpen, at least mine is, And a roll of electrical insulation tape, Spare batteries for your hand torch unless you have a rechargeable LED, If you are really going off track, a personal locator beacon, about the size of a small cellphone can call for help by satellite and provides an accurate location for rescuers. Your cellphone may be out of contact.

[@BeGoneForGood]

I definitely need the electrical tape. I totally forgot about that and I have even had to use it on the trail a couple of times. I don't have spare bulbs but that doesn't seem like a stoppage issue, especially since I shouldn't be riding much at night anyway. Everything else I pretty much have already.

[@jimnyffeler5287]

When I rode a F800GS I always carried front and rear tubes. To protect them and to make them more compact I would powder them and seal each individually into a vacuum seal bag. It protected them from abrasion as well keep them clean and slowed down their decay. With both in individual vacuum bags they took up about the same space as the rear tube as it came out of the box. The two tubes as well as an electric air pump and the assorted tire irons and small bits would fit into a small Wolfman Rolie bag that was always strapped to the bike.

[@BeGoneForGood]

Tubes will accompany me on some of my upcoming longer trips but for right now, I am just testing my luck. Great ideas for packing though. That could be really helpful.

[@ozziejim8472]

Great idea dude, cheers 👍

[@cathyharrity8050]

I carry one tool" the AAA" card. Come tow my bike to the shop. 😮

[@BeGoneForGood]

It is the only thing you really need.

[@jjjjjjjjrifufjssjosskenf]

By the time you get to the compressor, you would have had the tire pumped up with a bicycle pump. They don’t fail or waste battery power either. I think you should lay out everything you have and get rid of the tools you have in double and triple. You will probably save a ton of weight and space.

[@BeGoneForGood]

Totally true and I think I probably will as I start streamlining my stuff. Honestly, it wasn't until I started shooting this vid that I realized how much stuff I had doubled up and the triple stuff is just astonishing. I could probably get away with about half of this junk.

[@brianshelford2099]

Something amusing... I have one of these tool rolls and I never knew there was that pocket on the back where you have the aluminum tire levers. lol

[@BlazerLz]

Thanks, thorough video!

[@BeGoneForGood]

Thank you so much.

[@SoundMindADV]

Lot of great ideas of things to add to my kit. I have a few new items that I hope I will never need, but feel better having them now. Thanks Chad. s/f

[@BeGoneForGood]

Rah...and I am glad we are ever improving our kits for the all the eventualities out there.

[@bobsmyth6706]

Good review - well done 👏

[@BeGoneForGood]

Thank you! 👍. I really appreciated the feedback.

[@MotoPavilion]

Nice video. I am novice rider and this video helps to keep safe me CB500X

[@BeGoneForGood]

Glad to hear that! It is a constant evolution even for the most experienced riders out there.

[@lucimoto2922]

You are missing the most important tool A big hammer :)) Very good tool kit and great video

[@BeGoneForGood]

I thought that was what the helmet was for... Thank you so much for the watch and feedback.

[@betruly7894]

Nice Video, even if i think you have 3 times the same sockets and screwdrivers... I have a Harley, I only use Bike hand pump to check and add-up air to the tires at home I do the same for my 2 cars. However on road I carry the STOP&GO air pump compact and lightweight and very slow, with some strips to patch the tire and a multitools. Your video made think to add few stuff.

[@BeGoneForGood]

Thank you so much. I think tools, like a lot of other things with riding, are a really personal thing. We all have to determine what we are comfortable with and what we want to be prepared for. There are plenty of catastrophic possibilities I haven't covered for but I just feel willing to take my chances with some of the more outlandish elements. Maybe I am wrong or maybe others carry too much. We won't know until it happens which is a great teacher for all of us. I love having a pump along with for so many reasons. Thank you so much for watching and leaving feedback.

[@betruly7894]

@@BeGoneForGood talking about catastrophic out there. Many of us including my self never experienced such even and hope never you or we will experience one. But if you have time please can you share your experience with us in a video and explain what tool you use and saved your day. Of course if you have time . Thank you and stay safe

[@mhilde7744]

I trust anyone with a poncho liner.

[@BeGoneForGood]

That sounds like just the sort of solid grounding for any worthwhile relationship, right?

[@DoubleGrape944]

I’m all for redundancy but having four of the same tool is pretty excessive on an already heavy bike

[@ForrestEvans74]

Thanks for the video. Do you have a link for the medical kit or was it something you put together yourself?

[@BeGoneForGood]

The kit comes from Dark Angel but with a little shopping on Amazon, I am sure you could find most of these items. darkangelmedical.com/d-a-r-k-trauma-kit/

[@tri-hard]

Your axle wrench is pretty short (which I really like) How do you manage to get enough leverage on it to break the nut free? I've been thinking about moving to a shorter/lighter wrench but that's one of my concerns. Thinking I could always just wail on it with a rock.

[@BeGoneForGood]

When I need to break it free, I just stand on it and maybe give it a few bounces before it pops loose. I don't know if that would work for everyone. I love the smaller and simpler setup because I ALWAYS overpack normally. Anywhere I can save space seems like a good idea.

[@Warerdog24]

To much of the same stuff you could stream your tools and save a lot of weight . I sold my fatty Mosko tool roll by it self was to heavy. The old saying keep it simple .

[@BeGoneForGood]

For sure and anyone who has watched the channel knows I am a chronic over-packer. It is a sickness.

[@bjwilliams6115]

This is a question that I’m sure I’ll be raked over the coals for but why a tube patch kit and a tube? I understand there are times where there is a catastrophic blowout but just curious why both?

[@BeGoneForGood]

I don't know if anyone else will but I think that is a VERY good question and I don't have a great answer for you. The tire kit sits under my seat so it NEVER gets moved but the tubes come along with me in places where a catastrophic failure (unable to be patched) is more of a possibility. It doesn't make a lot of sense but I have so may other redundancies that I need to figure out as well and it just seems totally overwhelming. ;-)

[@thebubaloomonkey]

I carry both. Fit the new tube during the day to save time, patch up the old one in the evening so it's ready for the next puncture. I'm riding with tubed tyres though.

[@bjwilliams6115]

@@BeGoneForGood haha you’ve obviously been trained by the military and I will not fault it just wanted to see if there was any risk assessment behind it besides a defense in depth and built in redundancy

[@bjwilliams6115]

@@thebubaloomonkey I ride tubes as well. That’s a very valid point. Thank you for your insight

[@RobertsIslandLivingAdventures]

Wow, I guess you have the experience to carry what you need in your environment. Me riding a KTM in the Philippines presents different concerns. We have tire repair places everywhere, but what we don’t have is KTM parts. I carry extra spark plug, fuel filter, fuel injector, and the tools I need to replace them. Great video, I’ll have to make one also.
