#31125 pistolpete (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 104 TOOL KIT ? 4 Years, 11 Months ago   Hi folks. I've had my 2000 Roadstar for abotu 6 weeks now. Mongo, thank you very much for the article on changing oil. It is a well written article and easy to use. My bike didn't have a tool kit. What size wrenches & sockets are usually included in the tool kit? And what other tools are recommended to carry on the bike? I know we could make a 100 piece tool kit, but I'm just trying to have at least the same tools that would come with the bike, on a normal basis. Of course the dealer has tool kits, but they're nuts on the prices. Thanks.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #31128 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!

IMO the tool kit that comes with the bike suck your better off just making up your own. As to what you put in it guess you need to just look around the bike and decide what you would need which would depend on how much you want to carry around with you.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #31129 pistolpete (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 104 Re:TOOL KIT ? 4 Years, 11 Months ago   Agreed the OEM tools leave a lot to be desired. I will make up my own kit with good tools, just wanted to have a base line of what tools come in the kit. For ON the bike, I want to keep it to the minimum. Then add any tools I may need to keep in the garage.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #31169 smhowse (Moderator) Book em Dan-o!
