Yamaha Ténéré 700: Three simple rules packing tools & spares for a long motorcycle trip!

❗️100% of my KZbin Ad income for Ukraine - • 100% of my KZbin Ad ... ❗️
Video about what I take with me on my long motorcycle trips was the most requested so here it is. I had to split it into 2 parts and this is the first one about the tools & spare parts I'm taking with me.
Turns out I'm taking a lot with me. I'm sure people will have other items they find useful so take it as an inspiration. It is always a compromise (at lest for me) between the risk of being stuck and carrying whole workshop... Motorcycles are reasonably simple machines and it's surprising where one can find help in the world these days.
When I pack I follow 3 simple rules:
1) When it makes you happy - TAKE IT
2) If it makes you independent - TAKE IT
3) Planned maintenance is KEY!

😂😂😂

[@hugobaert7737]

I've recently discovered you can stuff a tube in the swing arm :D, so I have one tube like you, behind the front fairing and then the 21 inch front wheel tube is inside the swing arm :D cheers mate, good detailed info!

[@CharlesLindsay1]

Brilliant summary! I am having more difficulty than you hiding tool’s and parts on the bike. Tighter packing required!

[@FARANDFURTHER]

Glad I could share some hidden spots on T7 👍

[@keddesmart125]

Very usefull info, thanks for posting 🙂

[@rtwt7487]

Some excellent items in your kit that I’ll definitely be adding to mine. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@FARANDFURTHER]

Most welcome!

[@michaelcerami3740]

great channel! thank you

[@adlerunimog7123]

It is amazing what you are having on your bike, I am really impressed. But I fully understand your approach and have the same opinion just maybe in other scale and possibilities. All the best on your trip and it was a pleasure meeting / talking to you in the Sahara.

[@FARANDFURTHER]

Thank you, it was really nice to meet you. Yea I'm carrying so many different items and it does look pretty intimidating but it packs all rather well. The independence is so much more important than the weight. Hope you made it safely to next destination.

[@alrightdave6135]

Some great ideas

[@FARANDFURTHER]

So happy it was useful!

[@gufra9835]

Thanks for your work Pavel, real helpful! What would you guess the extra-weight of your tools?

[@FARANDFURTHER]

Good question! Not sure, I guess the lithium battery which is about 2kg lighter probably balances it out. The liquids are the most annoying.

[@michsky46]

amazing video. taky mam tenere 700. ale jezdim spis po evrope.

[@FARANDFURTHER]

Tak třeba jsi tam našel aspoň nějakou inspiraci.

[@michsky46]

@@FARANDFURTHER no urcite, hele ja spis koupim takove naradi a veci co vim a sam muzu opravit. jinak to ne ma cenu 😁😁

[@patrick87100]

Where did you get the tenere 700 sweatshirt?!😮

[@Sol88K]

what tubes do you use?

[@jjp6263]

Thanks for this! Inspired me to upgrade my current kit! One question: that wera, is that a 1/4 or a 3/8?

[@FARANDFURTHER]

It is the 1/4, so far it handled it all good. For the 3/8 I have the T-thing (I really need to Google how it’s called) 😂

[@jjp6263]

@@FARANDFURTHER super, thank you!

[@JohnnyFuelMotorcycleAdventures]

Ugh, I know you're intentions are to be helpful but when I see all these tools it's overwhelming. I don't know how to use half of them, plus it would be difficult to pack them all. This makes me feel frustrated like I shouldn't be taking long trips without more knowledge and skill-but I LOVE taking motorcycle trips!

[@FARANDFURTHER]

Hey, If it's overwhelming, simplify it. I didn't say you have to take this with you, I said I take this with me. Everyone's kit will be different. If you don't know how to use the tools, it's fine. You will adjust your riding and planning accordingly. There are garages all around the world which will help you if you need. If you can't fix a tire on the road or something else, you will stop someone who will help you to move the bike to mechanic. I met people in Tajikistan showing up in the MoozToo service just handing over their bike to a mechanic saying "Fix what's wrong..." and it worked for them well and they had amazing time on their trip. I've learned over the time. I have now more than 150k km traveling on the motorcycle and trust me at the beginning I didn't carry anything at all. Your kit will develop over time as you knowledge and skill. Just ride, do what you LOVE to do.

[@JohnnyFuelMotorcycleAdventures]

Thank you for that. I appreciate the encouragement!

[@robertlee8042]

I’m laughing. I ride a whole lot of miles but not apparently where you go!

[@FARANDFURTHER]

It is very personal what one packs, if you’re happy with what you take or if you know you won’t have problems to solve issues (assistance, etc…) the kit will be very different, indeed.

[@ralfabel8657]

It seems, you are prepared for any technical problems. A lot of stuff and weight. For long riding necessary!?

[@FARANDFURTHER]

For me I really like the feeling I'll be able not to get stuck. I already carry load of gear so these items are "drop in the ocean". Here in Tunisia I've already used, zip-ties, clutch cable repair kit (for other rider), tire spoons, trail stand and the compressor, oil for my air filter and so on... So... I don't think it's necessary but it's what I found works well for me and fellow riders.
