What tools should you actually carry on your motorcycle?
In this video I show you how to build the perfect motorcycle toolkit without spending a fortune. Whether you ride a BMW GS, Africa Twin, Ténéré, V-Strom, KTM Adventure, CRF300L or any other motorcycle, the same principles apply.
Instead of carrying every tool you own, we'll look at the three questions that determine exactly what belongs in your toolkit:
✅ Where are you going?
✅ Are you riding on-road or off-road?
✅ What are you comfortable repairing yourself?
We'll also cover the essential emergency items every rider should carry, including tyre repair kits, inflators, jump starters, zip ties, duct tape, JB Weld, scan tools, and the tools needed to remove your bike's bodywork, wheels and spark plugs.
Whether you're commuting, touring across Europe, riding the TET, or heading deep into the wilderness, this guide will help you build a toolkit that's lightweight, affordable and actually useful when things go wrong.

I know how to pump up the tyres… 😅
I do keep an electric pump and tyre repair kit on the bike now.
What base are you coming from with your mechanical knowledge? Self taught and learn as you go or do you have more experience?
It’s not my natural strength so always keen to learn more about how to maintain the bike. Cheers
