tool kit

[the Ferret]

Back to Paul's question about tools, here's what I put together for a tool kit which will allow me to adjust and lubricate the chain out on the road, adjust the rear shock, or access the battery if necessary. One must be realistic in what mechanical abilities they have and what duties they can perform on the side of the road. Fixing a fat, replacing a fuse, getting to the battery for a jump, or adjusting and lubing the rear chain is within my personal realm of abilities.

all fits neatly in the tool tray

On trips I also carry a small tire repair kit incl a small air compressor which will run off the battery either with alligator clips or thru the battery tender pigtail. For local riding I don't bother to carry it (although I probably should lol)
