10 Absolutely Important Tools to Bring Along

26 Oct 2020 News [Sassy_Social_Share]

It is true that motorcycles are so reliable these they hardly break down. That is great news for an owner, but that does not mean one should not be prepared.

The tools supplied with your bike (if at all) are usually either inadequate or low quality, so do yourself a favour and get a few high-quality items listed below.

Do note that you do not have to carry every piece of tool with you on your tour. Instead, you ought to pick out those that correspond to the sizes of fasteners on your bike. Then, insert all of them into a pouch and drop them into your GIVI case, pannier, tank bag or S250 Tool Box.

  1. Multitool

You could save yourself lots of space and possibly some money if you have a multitool to replace a myriad of tools. However, do invest in a good one them from a reputable adventure shop.

 

  1. Pliers

Pliers help you grip onto items that your fingers could not. Although you could choose between different types, we recommend the long-nosed variety, as they are able to fit into tight spaces.

 

  1. Screwdrivers

Screwdrivers are indispensable even if you do have a multitool, as the ones on the multitool are too short to reach further into the deep crevices of the bike. Have one straight-edge and one Philips head ready. Also make sure the tips are magnetized as they help you hold on to or retrieve dropped metal parts such as screws.

 

  1. Adjustable wrench

We do not recommend the adjustable wrench as a primary tool as the jaws do not lock solidly around a bolt or nut, thereby rounding it out. On the other hand, it is useful for emergency repairs.

  1. Hex keys

A set of hex keys take up little space but then again, you only require those that correspond to the fasteners on your bike. We advise that you buy those with ball-ends as they slot in easier and you can work at acute angles.

  1. Puncture repair kit

A tyre puncture is an easy fix, even if you are riding in the jungle.

GIVI offers the S450 Tubeless Tyre Repair Kit which consists of patches, tools and CO2 canisters to reinflate your tyre after you’ve mended the puncture. The canisters mean that you do not have to bring along a large air compressor to reinflate the tyre.

Another word of advice: Please have your tire fixed with a permanent patch or replace the tyre after you’ve performed a temporary repair.

 

  1. Wire

You may choose an insulated wire or “chicken” wire. The former is good for electrical circuit repair, while the latter is useful for tying things together.

 

  1. Cable ties

The cable tie is the most versatile item for repairs. They are great for hanging up a loose part or can become a tool when you loop one or a number together. They are cheap and easy to find, so there is no excuse to not having them with you.

 

  1. Duct Tape (Cloth Adhesive Tape)

Duct tape is an essential item, in addition to cable ties as you can fix almost anything with it, albeit temporarily. Leaky hoses? Loose part hanging off the bike? Boots that need repair? Duct tape to the rescue!

 

  1. Flashlight

Many argue that there is no need for an extra flashlight since all mobile phones offer that tool already. But how are you going to hold on to it when you need both hands to carry out repairs? The best is to get yourself a headlight, so to leave both your hands free to work.

    IMPORTANT GIVI RACKING SYSTEM INFORMATION:

    In order to protect the user and avoid damage to the original structure of the motorcycle, we would like to point out the following. Our product is the result of the assembly of various components. Therefore, the welded points and bends, as well as the different motorcycle chassis can cause assembly difficulties. For the correct fitting procedure, we suggest you rely on qualified personnel and to check carefully that the kit components do not interfere negatively or contact with the original parts of the motorcycle (Frame, Silencers, Shock Absorbers, etc.). We will not be responsible for damages caused by incorrect assembling due to poor fitting by a non-qualified person or mechanic. The warranty covers exclusively the replacement or articles from the product range, which would present defects prior to final assembly.

    Suggested fitting sequence: –

    • Fit the supports and the corresponding kit screws (without tightening them) according to the sequence suggested in the mounting instruction.
    • Centre all fitting kit items and check that they do not interfere negatively or contact with the original parts of the motorcycle.
    • Tighten the screw sequentially and check their tension periodically.
    • In case the kit is not complete or you find that you have a faulty component, do not hesitate to get in touch with your dealer or directly with the producer. Please avoid using unsuitable parts.
