Tool Kit

Badbob · 11-28-2007, 07:50 PM

Anyone carry tools other than the stock tool kit.

I keep a good set of allen wrenches and few assorted sockets under the seat.

If I travel long distance, I scrap the toolkit for real tools.

I carry standard tool kit & spare plug & spare head light bulb and 1 spare signal / tail bulb & a small oil can & bungee cord. I check all bolts, connections , cables etc. .... periodically when cleaning.

Spares are nice if you have the room. I carry spare fuses and a spare valve core. Fuses are pretty well self explanatory. A spare valve core is now part of the survival gear after one went south during the summer. A flashlight is also a great idea just in case.

When I got my 2000 GZ 250 last week, there wasn't a tool kit under the seat. Any suggestions on getting a replacement...could I find something at Harbor Freight that might fit the space or should I just order a replacement kit from the Suzuki dealer? Not really sure what's included in the standard kit. Thanks....

The tool kits are available online, for example babbittsonline dot com [NOTE I do not know if they have the best deal nor am I affiliated with them etc. etc.] pick Suzuki - 2005 - GZ250 and then select "Frame cover", it is one of the items there. As noted there are also other sites where they sell them, and probably your dealer either has it or can order it for you.

PS apart from the tool kit I carry a swiss army knife.

Thanks for info...I'll check out the website. Good idea about the Swiss Army knife...you never know.

Good idea, indeed. Also add to the kit any "special" tools required for tightening up accessories, like allen wrenches for a windscreen.

Does anybody know if Craftsmen still make MC tool kits? I see them on ebay but not on the Sears website

found a cool link to make a list for your tool kit... http://micapeak.com/checklists/toolkit.html

I need to check and see if i have the factory one...

guess it's off to download the manual and figure out how to take off the seat!

this site looks promising also http://www.cruztools.com/ the RoadTech™ M3 kit look promising!!! bet i can put something similar for waay more cheap at the pawn shop nearby!!!

I will likely build a tool kit since they list the contents on their website ... but i will be getting one of there cool multitools to go in it...

ebay search for cruz tools ... http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dl ... category0=

ebay link for the multitool http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CruzTOOL ... enameZWD1V[/url]
