Travel Tool Kit

Be prepared to make minor roadside motorcycle repairs.

When venturing far from home on your motorcycle, it’s a good idea to carry an emergency tool kit to help with basic repairs that might otherwise leave you stranded on the side of the road.  Let’s take a look at the most useful tools to pack a portable motorcycle repair kit.  Carrying an entire toolbox is not practical, and space on your motorcycle is at a premium, but you still want to be able to make basic repairs.  Carrying a small set of basic hand tools specific to your motorcycle is essential.    

A basic travel tool kit might include:

  • Wrenches (box/open-face)
  • Crescent wrench
  • Sockets/small ratchet
  • Hex/torx keys
  • Screwdriver with exchangeable bits
  • Locking pliers
  • Duct tape
  • Electrical tape
  • Zip ties
  • Utility knife
  • Tire repair kit
  • Tire pressure gauge
  • Spare fuses
  • Flashlight
  • Micro jump starter
  • Micro tire air pump
