Sorry below information applies to 2017 and later models.
I created this post to help other riders prepare a minimum list of mandatory tools required for unexpected repairs during road trip.
All mentions items must be able to fit under the seat except for the air pump.
Electrical issue(s) such as a "No Start" or "No Cranking".
-I have attached a simple hand-drawn copy of the "Starting" and "Ignition" circuits which I copied from the official HONDA Repair Manual.
-Plus a 11x17 copy of the full wiring diagram - which I cannot include due to copyright protection.
-Note: the items above are sealed in a plastic bag (waterproof) and stored under the seat.
-A few feet of electrical tape.
Tubeless Tire puncture Repair Kit
-A plug repair kit (includes the following: a "Reamer", Plug "Insert" tool, a tube of Rubber glue, a knife and a few extra plugs. (see attachment).
-A 90 degree air valve adaptor.
-A compact tire pressure gauge.
-A compact pump is recommended and a separate Tire pressure gauge.
Wrench
-See list of wrenches for different repair.
-Note: For the 22 & 17mm wrenches (Front & Rear tire removal), I cut & got rid of the open end section of the wrench & bent it to use as a tire breaker from the rim. (see attachment).
-The 2 bigger wrenches fits in the the designated U-lock space. (Sorry Peking Duck, I know that you own a U-lock).
Swiss Army Knife
-It includes a plier, knife and other assortment of tools.
Flashlight
-A modified flashlight with 2 external wires that can be hooked up to the 12v battery.
-This can also be used as a flashlight.
-It can also be used to troubleshoot for electrical short circuit.
Spark Plug socket & 1 spark plug.
Due to the exorbitant spark plug price, I carry a previously used (still in good condition) spark plug.
Air plugs
A few extra ear plugs.
