My new underseat tool kit! Based on having stripped the top end a few times, I think I've got everything I need here. The only things to add are a new spark plug, and maybe some wire joiners and electrical tape. I've got nearly everything else.
Main kit (from left to right):
~Two 3ft luggage strap, plus bungee net.
~double sided stubby ratchet, 1/4 and 3/8 drive.
~double ended screwdriver (stock tool)...
~3/8 ratchet with longer handle.
~Two large jay cloths.
~8mm and 10mm 1/4 sockets, plus extension.
~1/4 adaptor for large impact driver bit (good for stuck screws)
~Two hex keys (large for bar clamps, smaller for all other screws)
~12, 10, and 8mm ratchet spanners, plus an 8/9mm spanner.
~Tiny multi-tool (pliers, cutter, knife, flat+cross driver, saw, torch)
~19, 17, 14, and 12mm sockets, plus 16mm spark plug socket.
~[all above happen to be 1/4, so a 3/8 to 1/4 adaptor is included]
~10mm hex key for crank end plug.
~bundle of zip ties.
~Adjustable spanner.
To fit all this in was quite easy, the only hard bit being the blasted Adjustable.
The two wrenched were wrapped in the jay cloths and fitted into the side of the tail fairings, as were the straps. The larger sockets, adjustable, 10mm hex, and spanners went into the bag with the bungee net and were attached to bottom of seat. Most other things were in tool kit. The multitool sat next to this.
This should cover most things. For a long holiday etc, I'd shove some tyre levers, a 12" inner tube (just to get me home), a new chain, and a tub of engine oil into one of my throw overs..
