ADV KLR 650 Tool Kit for Adventure motorcycling Part 1

[@JEH-1020]

Nice kit. Kudos on the Knipex. Important items to me are Vise-grips w/wire cutter. If you've ever run over the wire from a burnt out car tire and had it wrap around your rear tire and lock it up you will understand their importance. In addition I carry a couple metal cutting saber saw blades also used a carbide grit one in Africa to remove a stuck bearing they can be clamped in the Vise-grips used for a handle. Another item is a small triangular metal file for repairing threads. Used the saw in remote Argentina to make brake pads for a BWM 650 from some spares that were for a 1200 GSA.

[@WanderingBeast]

Great advice thanks

[@nicodeemus0529]

That square magnet that you have over your socket driver is actually a magnetizer/demagnetizer. You drag a metal tool (i.e. screw driver) over the top of it where there's a little groove half a dozen times and it magnetizes your tool. To demagnetize your tool you stick it into the hole through the middle. Good vid though. Always nice to see what everyone is carrying to see if there is anything I missed and should have. Thanks!

[@andygrayson7485]

This is a great selection of tools and bits , just cost me a few quid watching this !! Many thanks ✌

[@thebunts8144]

Saw a Harley rider with a spare Harley in his tool bag....smartest thing anyone could do...

[@insptrjf]

I have over 400,000 miles on the back of Harleys and have never once been stranded on the side of the road other than a punctured tire one time. So shut your pie hole.

[@FranksWay]

Good to pack lite but have almost everything needed..great vid

[@rickanderson886]

Applying RED loctite into aluminum anything, you have a good chance of stripping out the threads when you take the bolt/screw out.

[@InMused]

Nice kit. The Allan wrench ends are called ball end wrenches.

[@KARMAkazeMoto]

Was not expecting that much stuff in that little case. Nice.

[@GeoffreyGonzales]

one of the better kits ive seen on here

[@TWiGsADV707]

Nice selection there. I also like to do most all my bike work with my travel tools, keeps me knowing that I have everything I could need. hehhe. I should probably add some safety or bailing wire to mine. I get asked about my tools often, I should probably do a video like this one too.

[@fomojoe864]

4:20 "... if u need to get thru a fence" 😂😂

[@BACK40ADVENTURE]

I'm saving this to my channel, best basic tool bag kit I've seen so far!

[@PangeaDesignGroup]

Great info! I'm new to the long distance riding game, and always eager to stand on the shoulders of giants. Videos are well put together and the kit was great. I took some notes and will be doing some shopping tomorrow. Thanks for the great info, looking forward to more. Cheers

[@davemcmahon8140]

Hey great vid for tool descriptions and needs. Got a Beemer, but food for thought. thx wandering beast

[@simoneosci3493]

Nice ideas yoy gave me! Thanks for sharing man!

[@EatCarbs]

Nice.. I have that same pouch in my glove box for odds and ends. Good stuff. Thanks for the video

[@sojinstunts]

Now this is proper moto toolkit. Love it

[@COMB0RICO]

That was great! Really good precise presentation. Thanks from Texas!

[@oldgreyman5994]

nice layout. Those Maxpedition bags are really usefull.

[@gregh1579]

knipex are without a doubt the best tools available but i would keep a Cresent so you dont cry when you need to beat on it to bust something loose. just my opinion.

[@kawadudemcdouble3983]

might i also recommend a couple pairs of nitrile gloves nothing worse than getting chain lube or grease or whatever all over your grips the weight and space they take up is practically non existent and save a ton of trouble with trailside cleanup

[@anurag77719]

awesome travel tool kit!

[@690ADV]

another great video, keep it going.

[@ADVNevada]

Nice kit!

[@MrVendersrep]

Great job!

[@Letsrideht8806]

that square magnetic block is to magnetize non magnetic screwdrivers and etc.

[@ralaquino]

Hi, excellent video and I already have some tools in it listed, I found the screwdriver very interesting with the ratchet, do you have the link of some website that sells this tool?

[@bojangles3147]

Check out Nebo tools they offer a lot of combo multi function tools.

[@Ridevenice]

Where is the beautiful lake at the beginning of the video located?!

[@WanderingBeast]

Crater lake oregon

[@Georgia4Low]

great video. Where did you find those plastic containers that you carry fuses, cotter pins, etc in?

[@WanderingBeast]

I'll try to find them, and get back to you. I dont you can get them where I did anymore

[@Georgia4Low]

+Wandering Beast I think I found them on best rest products web site

[@dezertracer2990]

Like that bag, is it the fatty or beefy model buy any chance

[@WanderingBeast]

i think its the bigger one

[@sharonsharon2604]

Great set! What is the brand of these tube patches...? They look decent:-)

[@WanderingBeast]

Got them from bestrest in Seattle

[@Tdaltbo]

Who makes the screwdriver that the wrench connects

[@WanderingBeast]

Metrich but I think craftsmen does too

[@libertiner1380]

I like the screwdriver with the 1/4 hole in the end for a wrench, but I cant find any in Denmark, what do you call that kind of screwdriver?

[@WanderingBeast]

1/4 driver handle

[@jahnkaplank8626]

Is a chain breaker really necessary? I'm undecided if I should carry one.

[@WanderingBeast]

only used it once, swapped a chain in town on a road trip, saved me 100 bucks to have the shop install it

[@jahnkaplank8626]

@@WanderingBeast Cool. I'm thinking to just have a spare chain in the wilderness and to install a master link on the chain that i'm using before even going anywhere. That way if my chain acts up, I'll just do a straight swap using common tools I already have.

[@Rigga-pw7nm]

gidday mate what make of screwdriver is that I have never seen one of them before

[@myronallen3010]

Same here, I'm scouring the Internet for it but can't find it anywhere.

[@myronallen3010]

Got it. Its called a 1/4 driver handle. You can buy them for $10 AUD on ebay.com.au

[@davidjaxson59]

What size Maxpedtion bag are you using? The EDC or the Fatty?Great videos by the way.

[@WanderingBeast]

fatty I believe

[@ajscain500]

Can the item be purchased as is

[@WanderingBeast]

Which item

[@C18H19NaO5S]

So I saw your other video and you have some tools in a tool tube. How do you carry this?

[@WanderingBeast]

I have video on it

[@MrKronen75]

Do you use the Knipex pliers to undo your rear axle ? It won't slip ?

[@WanderingBeast]

i have a cresent with my tire tools

[@Joe_Hutchinson513]

8mm,10mm,12mm,14mm,17mm,19mm sockets will take off every nut/bolt on any metric bike except for axles and internal engine nuts. You mentioned you carry 9mm,11mm and 13mm. Their is not one single fastener on the KLR or any metric bike from the factory that uses those sizes

[@WanderingBeast]

not from factory but rattled loose, found who knows where to fit come in all sizes for a bike that in from 1990. as well as aftermarket racks and skid, etc.

[@gman3725]

Why 12 point sockets? More prone to stripping a bolt/nut head.

[@WanderingBeast]

its craftsmen Universal sockets, they work on 4.6.12. sided bolts, external torx, rounded nuts as well. They have great grip,, never had an issue rounding off

[@gman3725]

Wandering Beast Good point if they are needed for multiple types of heads

[@Eddie-wn8tu]

Nice.

[@Ashoud_Anobetah]

Wtf man ... 1.5mins and the bag not open yet

[@jahnkaplank8626]

unlike your mouth lol

[@daltonmann4916]

and he still has his 10 mm, LOL!
