Shout out to the Revzilla marketing department who allocates a budget to put out videos like this. You're here to help all riders, not those who only buy from you. Although I'm sure everyone has been, or will be a Revzilla customer.
Great video as usual. Last year I bought a tire repair kit and mini compressor from Revzilla before a 2,000 mile road trip to the Grand Canyon...sure enough my sport bike ran over a large nail 50 miles from any type of service on the South Rim. Needless to say I had a big smile on my face knowing I had the gear to fix the tire. My son was also riding his motorcycle on the trip and initially wondered why we needed the extra tools when we began. Needless to say he built his own tool kit when the trip ended. Great video guys 😁
Removing the rubber from a wheel is almost impossible for me in my garage with all my tools. How you guys do this on the side of a road is amazing to me. Patching a tubeless seems doable enough. You guys should make a roadside tire video.
@ZLA Lemmy I'm gonna look for it . I think I'm gonna just strap some tire spoons in my gear for my rear tire. I tubed it because I put a silly dual sport on the rear.
I just want to go on the record and say that Revzilla as a whole is just a fantastic organization. Your customer service is beyond the best, and the videos, tips and tricks make for awesome knowledge. Keep up the great work. Thanks.
Tool pouch suggestion: Silver Solder and a torch lighter will nearly permanently weld anything including exhaust pipe, heads or brackets with just less then actual weld strength. There’s a couple of mountain biking multi tools that would be quite useful for Motor cycles.
This is really great info I just recently purchased a used bike from a private owner that was in mint condition with low miles and I was so excited after I put my little mods and stuff on the bike I ventured out I took a ride two and a half hours away to a friend's house on the right my kickstand screw bolt came out it was really really loose and I had to hold the kickstand up with my foot while I was riding until I got to an AutoZone because I didn't have any tools under the back seat. I went to three different AutoZones in the area and finally I found some Allen tee because it was a large Allen key to tighten the bolts up and I was outside in the parking lot down and oil trying to put the kickstand back on this is a very great video I learned I went to three different AutoZones in the area and finally I found some Allen tee because it was a large Allen key to tighten the bolts up and I was outside in the parking lot down and oil trying to put the kickstand back on this is a very great video. This is the second time something mechanically went wrong with my bike on the road and I told myself I would never let this happen again so I have to recently purchased a seat bag that straps to my backseat that looks like a good style for my bike or cone style but I'm going to fill it with all of my service tools just in case something happens including a tire puncture kit thank you guys from RevZilla always man this is great stuff because when I wrote motorcycles the first time I never thought of this until I started to break down. Here is a link to the bike that I purchased. ua-cam.com/video/PcNuE_V2OnM/v-deo.html
My KTM 1390 SA had a surprisingly good OEM kit, but I bought a Wera cyclops kit which is super compact and great for European bikes. I packed it into a Kriega tool roll, which is a fantastic bit of kit. I even have a 6” torque wrench to nip up those torx fasteners just right and rule out possible oil leaks
This is a great video. Cars are what I fix for a living and when I get a side job , it could be the smallest side job but I always bring a crap ton of tools with me !
Good video guy's. The one thing that you left out that I keep in my bikes is a portable battery jumper. There is always that guy who we ride with who leaves his ignition on or he has an older battery that needs to be replaced. With all the electronics on these newer bikes unless you put them on a battery tender when you don't ride them for a while you could be stuck.
The fact that you guys not only shared this video of your tool kits but also packing tools for your friends (that are not so smart to pack their own shit) is so relieving. I feel like when I do anything, including riding or even going to the grocery store, I include my friends. That is so rare. You guys both rule 🤘🏻and I will admit I’m going to steal both of your ideas from your tool kits and make my own for my bikes and offroad brapps. If you guys have youre own channel, ill subscribe. Fuck these corporate muppets.
I just carry a sparkplug, a few tools (5mm allen key, adjustable wrench, OEM screwdriver, leatherman) and zipties. The only problem I've not been able to fix this far is a flat tire. I guess a bent gear pedal would leave me on the side of the road too..
Excellent video today guys, when riding you never know when that odd tool may be just the ticket to get you out of the middle of no where and back home to a hot dinner.. lol
1. A good insurance contract. 2. a good phone. 3. credit card. 4. Kit to repair a flat tire. And is enough to go around the planet!!!! How much does it weigh and what space does this stuff occupy in the motorcycle?
Add maybe some fuses and a fuse puller for a street bike. Other than that, RV coverage added to my AAA membership to get the bike to a shop. I really don't worry about breakdowns because I only ride Japanese thumpers, twins, and inline fours...and they are pretty much bulletproof.
Great video guys. These kinds of videos are what we are looking for, keep it up! I didn’t notice any chain items in your kits, I’m assuming for the dirt/adv crowd would have a master link and related tools in the kit. For the Harley, a cell phone and road side assistance coverage is the best item in tool kit. 🤣
Jolly Green Biker I think I saw Lemmy has master link, but yeah it's a great tool, everyone (not just chopper/dirt/adventure) maybe need it at some point
eidrag I must have missed that. He said tools for Harley and when I saw the welded spark plug wrench, I may have glazed past the master link. All in fun, I really enjoyed this video and it had some great tips.
Thanks, buds. :) I still gotta get that air compressor sometime. But thankfully the tool kit I made holds up to what you guys showed. Only thing is I keep it under the back seat of my sv650 so space is super limited. Had to prioritize what to take.
So you guys talked about cheap tools you wont cry about if left behind. So is it not needed to spend cash on descent tools for the roll & just go with one of the kits?
Great video and ideas. I'd ditch the co2 bottles, I used to carry three or four just in case. I had to do a tire repair once in my back yard and tried using the co2 bottles just to see how many it would take to top up from a plug repair. There wasn't enough pressure in the bottles to get the tires up to a level where I would want to ride. TLDR: dump the co2 and convert a small pump to work with the quick disconnect for the battery tender.
Sean Story I tried to use electric pump before, but it was noisy and a bit boxy? I don't like the dimensions to fit in my motorcycle box. In the end just using foot pump because it was slim, and I can bring that out to use it at other places such as in the office or poolside
On my concours I have a dedicated painner for any tools for the bike. The pump is a fix a flat brand that I rewired with a switch and quick disconnect. Though a manual backup could come in handy.
lol only thing i have in my toolbox is a screw driver, lenkey, wrench spare headlight bulbs and tail lightbulbs only thing im missing i reckon is probably a tubeless tyre repair thingy
One of the things to consider when you get an expensive pre-fab toolkit is that it's an obvious target for thieves, so there's a good argument for carrying a set of "throwaway tools" on the road.
I had the shop i use for winter storage, do spark plug change, oil change and clean out my air filter. So now the bike is making a rattling buzzing sound. Around 4-6k RPM, 1-4th gear. I cant pin point exactly where its coming from, but its mainly by the fan, towards the top, to the right side, towards under the tank. I put my hand on the cluster, wheel damper, gas tank, as im riding and purposely go over little bumps and stuff and the rattle and ticking noise is still there. I took the bike back twice. They said, the bolts on the ram air intake were lose and the nose was hanging off. It started again soon as i left the shop. I took it back couple days later, they said the plastics were lose, so they replaced the grommets and so on. And still no difference. Any idea what my problem could be?
Storing a tool kit is the thing. I’m guessing this would be carried on long distance runs but for short runs I don’t have a place for a tool kit that size
Hey Revzilla, Im about to buy a new motorcycle and I would like to know which wold be your choice and why. Im between the CB650F or the GSX-S 750. I like a lot both of them but I would like more power for the CB 650F, i think 90cv is a bit low. I will use it for every day use and rotuing on weekends.
I didn’t see assembly lube. What are ya gonna do when one of the crappy bikes you guys ride snaps a connecting rod and you have to do an engine rebuild in the woods? LOL
I have a 2012 Harley Davidson Night Rod special. Just started riding. Besides Tire plug kit and maybe a pump what's some other common tools that I should carry. Just for those roadside repairs that can get me to a shop or home like a flat tire?
My best tool is my phone. Because of our style of kick stand, we can't remove our wheels without a lift anyway, so plugs and co2 cartridges are sufficient. I don't plan on making major repairs on the side of the rode, but I do carry torx / hex keys and a leatherman tool in case I need to adjust or tighten a brake lever or whatever. Add a fuse kit and that's all I carry.
You can use a SnapJack if your bike isn't too heavy. I would not use a SnapJack on a heavy cruiser. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/tirox-snapjack-v2
If your bike has a center stand, you'd use the center stand. If you don't have a center stand, you can use a SnapJack when out on the road. If you have a light dirt bike or dual sport, you may need to just lay it down on its side. At home, you would use front and rear stands for sport and naked bikes or a center-lift stand for most cruisers. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/tirox-snapjack-v2
Thanks for great video! A great video idea is first aid stuff! I don’t mean bandaids and such but ... perhaps tourniquets and such... Y’all carry first aid stuff? What ?
not too long ago on 1 of my days off i was riding through town, swung by the harley davidson dealership to see some of my buddies that work there, and i was pulling out ready to leave this guy was on the side of the rode messing with his bike, i stopped to see if he needed help, turns out the screws i had in 2009 kawasaki vulcan 500 were the right screws he needed to do the small repair on his bike, his battery wires were all screwed up, so he needed to re screw them down
You can see the current prices and add things to your cart or wishlist on our website if we carry the item. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Gear Geeks in customer service. Hope that helps! - Pat
Dear Lemmy , I seen the old UA-cam video of the dual sport tire and been on the website but having a hard time with the size chart . I seen there's metric and standard inches. I have metric bike that's not meant to go off road but I live in Tx and there's everthing that my street tires can't handle. Loose gravel, muddy backyard and driveway,potholes ,bumps and splits in the road. Now I have a 15" rear and 18" front. I'm planning of taking fenders off for now cause it seems I need a 16" rear for a dual sport tire. Any help would be appreciated. Long time subscriber and like masher. We talked on 87 Honda Rebel and the new one that was released. I know you guys are busy hope to hear from you soon. Thank you ,Nate Silva@youtube
ZLA Lemmy As the website sells products and the UA-cam channel be informative your my go to guys because y'all do respond to your fans (even if I can be annoying) lol .love your guys and your company..last but not least have heard of this tire I found it on bike bandit but it's the same size as the rear tire for the rebel tire but a 16" rim wich goes to what you said rim /hub swap ( I been anticipating that)..Duro HF904 Median motorcycle tire ,size 130/90 16" lol I know you said 18" to 21" but there obviously other brands and distribution
ZLA Lemmy Yes sir! The Rebel has been my go to girl and I've seen things people do and it inspire me but I'll give it a rest since budget and mods. Texas has been a pain and in Houston it's all kinds of uneven roads potholes , loose gravel,mud,rain and street (same every where else) just hard to adapt riding style for safety. I recently got hit by dog and suffered a lil road rash. After a year and slip and dog hit me ..changing bikes has been hard too. Thanks for all your wisdom ,I'll have to stick to Rebel for now and be more like water (Bruce Lee) on the road when I drive , eyes all ways ahead !
huh...im totaly different than both of these guys...i just carry a cell phone and a AAA type road side service that usually comes with insurance...i ride a ducati and drive toyotas, so its been so long since i have worked on anything. im sure id break something and i have a pro that works on the duke
would it not be better to just pull a shop trailer behind you with 'ALL' the stuff needed? you know... engines to throw rods, frames and handle bars bend, belts and chains snap, mirrors fall off, master cylinders collapse, break lines pop when unexpected, wind shields fall off and break, just total catastrophe...! . . . >.> the hex key , is actually a allen wrench that came from a smitty set., but still good to know.
my grandfather was a Mill Wright worker, during those days in his time, they made tools for the specified job at hand. because those types of tools were not even thought of . . . noteibly not available. and those tools were often given a name. just because a millennial decides to name a tool does not make it the correct name. same goes for the sand paper aka emory paper, emory cloth, emory paddle wheel [ all sizes ] . so you go on and call it by the millennial name. . . as for the Mill Wright Worker they know the real name of the tools. p.s. what 'loop' are you referring to?
I stopped all at once carrying all the tools cause no one else would and when I'd help my tools would get lost and I'd get jack shit at the end. Yet when I don't carry the tools and I break down there is a $charge$ before ANYONE lends me their tools. Now I ONLY carry tools when I ride alone.
sssoooooo..... what you're saying is.... you just need tools to keep a Harley running... but you need tools to fix ADV bikes because you break things while riding hard?.... i need to sell this Harley....
I am glad to see Hagrid found other work.
Regrettably he went back to Hogworts
RIP Hagrid
@@joeray5394 He went out in a blaze of glory tho. Or was that Hodar?

I'm going to stop carrying tools with me and just start riding with you guys. haha

@ZLA Lemmy it's been nearly a year Lem...hippity hop to the barber shop!
I'm about to head out on a 3400+ mile trip on an evo sporty rat build.
@ZLA Lemmy I'm gonna look for it . I think I'm gonna just strap some tire spoons in my gear for my rear tire. I tubed it because I put a silly dual sport on the rear.
This has to be the best video that Revzilla have made. Very helpful and relevant. Congrats guys well done.
Great one guys ! You two work well on screen together , very informal and funny . Thanks
I just want to go on the record and say that Revzilla as a whole is just a fantastic organization. Your customer service is beyond the best, and the videos, tips and tricks make for awesome knowledge. Keep up the great work. Thanks.
We love you Lemm...Spurge isn't bad, he's just that guy, you know?
You guys are great. Great chummy chemistry, giving each other shit but sticking to the topic at hand. Super informative. Thank you

As always, a great vid. If I understand correctly, the ultimate tools to take with us, is you guys...
This is a great video. Cars are what I fix for a living and when I get a side job , it could be the smallest side job but I always bring a crap ton of tools with me !
Jiminy Cricket, I put a bottle or two of Ride-On in the tires. If that should ever fail, I have a phone and one and half legs.
Great info guys! Got me thinking of some things I need to add to my kit.
Another neat trick - get one of those foldable bicycle toolkits. Has like 20 heads in a small package.

What about a headlamp?
Excellent video today guys, when riding you never know when that odd tool may be just the ticket to get you out of the middle of no where and back home to a hot dinner.. lol
Loved the crossover guys.
Damn, this is really good video guys!
Ride safe!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great video guys! I'm already looking into which tools would be best for my bike for next season. Thank you!
1. A good insurance contract.
2. a good phone.
3. credit card.
4. Kit to repair a flat tire.
And is enough to go around the planet!!!!
How much does it weigh and what space does this stuff occupy in the motorcycle?

When's revzilla buying a UK bike parts shop so we can easily show you love (i.e. cash & credit)?
So you guys talked about cheap tools you wont cry about if left behind. So is it not needed to spend cash on descent tools for the roll & just go with one of the kits?
This video is amazing. Love the comradery and various viewpoints. Hey Spurge, do you carry both a front and rear spare on your adventure bike rides?
Thanks guys! This was a very informative video.
zip tie your new cables to the old ones. that way when they break you don't have to spend time routing the new cable
How to build a mustache video needed.
lol
Great video and ideas. I'd ditch the co2 bottles, I used to carry three or four just in case. I had to do a tire repair once in my back yard and tried using the co2 bottles just to see how many it would take to top up from a plug repair. There wasn't enough pressure in the bottles to get the tires up to a level where I would want to ride.
TLDR: dump the co2 and convert a small pump to work with the quick disconnect for the battery tender.
Sean Story I tried to use electric pump before, but it was noisy and a bit boxy? I don't like the dimensions to fit in my motorcycle box. In the end just using foot pump because it was slim, and I can bring that out to use it at other places such as in the office or poolside
On my concours I have a dedicated painner for any tools for the bike. The pump is a fix a flat brand that I rewired with a switch and quick disconnect. Though a manual backup could come in handy.
Get a bolt with same thread as spark plug and modify it with air fittings to use the cranking motor as air pump
Great Clovis guys love your work!!!!
Well done practical advise. Thanks. Thanks also for saying regardless and not irregardless.
I think he said irrespective. Check again.
And it's a-d-v-i-c-e when used as a noun.
lol only thing i have in my toolbox is a screw driver, lenkey, wrench spare headlight bulbs and tail lightbulbs only thing im missing i reckon is probably a tubeless tyre repair thingy
Should I carry a screwdriver or pliers?
another excellent video guys.
One of the things to consider when you get an expensive pre-fab toolkit is that it's an obvious target for thieves, so there's a good argument for carrying a set of "throwaway tools" on the road.
I had the shop i use for winter storage, do spark plug change, oil change and clean out my air filter. So now the bike is making a rattling buzzing sound. Around 4-6k RPM, 1-4th gear.
I cant pin point exactly where its coming from, but its mainly by the fan, towards the top, to the right side, towards under the tank.
I put my hand on the cluster, wheel damper, gas tank, as im riding and purposely go over little bumps and stuff and the rattle and ticking noise is still there. I took the bike back twice. They said, the bolts on the ram air intake were lose and the nose was hanging off. It started again soon as i left the shop. I took it back couple days later, they said the plastics were lose, so they replaced the grommets and so on. And still no difference. Any idea what my problem could be?
Thanks guys! This videos are hella helpful :)
Storing a tool kit is the thing. I’m guessing this would be carried on long distance runs but for short runs I don’t have a place for a tool kit that size
You could grind the cut off wrench in to one tire spoon... so you only need to Carry one in your roll....
Hey Revzilla,
Im about to buy a new motorcycle and I would like to know which wold be your choice and why. Im between the CB650F or the GSX-S 750. I like a lot both of them but I would like more power for the CB 650F, i think 90cv is a bit low. I will use it for every day use and rotuing on weekends.
I didn’t see assembly lube. What are ya gonna do when one of the crappy bikes you guys ride snaps a connecting rod and you have to do an engine rebuild in the woods? LOL
Awesome as always great information!
You guys rock. PD: cool stache

How are you able to remove the wheel on the side of the road if the bike only has a side stand???
You can use a SnapJack if your bike isn't too heavy. I would not use a SnapJack on a heavy cruiser. -DrewZilla

Is Sperge a cop now?
porn cop :O
It’s his Lt. Dangle cosplay.
He's a Trooper, a super trooper.
yea he now runs a youtube channel called donut operator /s
So what tricks do you have for holding up the bike while you take a tire off? Do don't just lay it down, do you?
If your bike has a center stand, you'd use the center stand. If you don't have a center stand, you can use a SnapJack when out on the road. If you have a light dirt bike or dual sport, you may need to just lay it down on its side.

This is like a motorcycle version of Home Improvement.
Now who is Tim "The Toolman" Taylor and who is Al Borland?
Great video although now I'm feeling totally inadequate about my tools!
Hmmmmmmmmm...... will have to give this a bit of thought. Thanks guys.
That leather tool bag 💼. 👍
I'm way too under-prepared for this, the only tool I have is a phone. Jesus take the handlebar.
😂😂😂😂😂 Hilarious
are you saying new bikes don't come with a tool kit?
Some do and some don't. Those that do can vary in quality. -DrewZilla

Yes sir! The Rebel has been my go to girl and I've seen things people do and it inspire me but I'll give it a rest since budget and mods. Texas has been a pain and in Houston it's all kinds of uneven roads potholes , loose gravel,mud,rain and street (same every where else) just hard to adapt riding style for safety. I recently got hit by dog and suffered a lil road rash. After a year and slip and dog hit me ..changing bikes has been hard too. Thanks for all your wisdom ,I'll have to stick to Rebel for now and be more like water (Bruce Lee) on the road when I drive , eyes all ways ahead !
I love how the interact with each other. xD
Great video!
My 17 Africa Twin tool kit just has a phillips/flat screwdriver. Guess honda thinks thats all you need to fix the africa twin on the road.
Honda put a "tool kit" in my crf250l....it consists of, hold on, wait for......2 Allen key wrenches and a fuse puller. Serious. Total joke.
The "do it yourself" patch. Where do I get one!?
Bicycle shop
Zipties. If they can't hold something it is because you don't have enough of them.
Nice video but I ride Japanese motorbikes. No tools needed 😁
Great video
Lemm seems like the engineer of the duo? Am I wrong?
You forgot to mention a scissor jack to support your motorcycle if you need to take the wheel off.....
I have the tools, but now I need bags to carry them.
I read: "How to build a motorcycle" :c , that would be an awesome video..
huh...im totaly different than both of these guys...i just carry a cell phone and a AAA type road side service that usually comes with insurance...i ride a ducati and drive toyotas, so its been so long since i have worked on anything. im sure id break something and i have a pro that works on the duke
mobile phone and good break down membership lol
would it not be better to just pull a shop trailer behind you with 'ALL' the stuff needed?
you know... engines to throw rods, frames and handle bars bend, belts and
chains snap, mirrors fall off, master cylinders collapse, break lines pop when unexpected,
wind shields fall off and break, just total catastrophe...! . . . >.>
the hex key , is actually a allen wrench that came from a smitty set., but still good to know.
my grandfather was a Mill Wright worker, during those days in his time, they made tools for the specified job at hand. because those types of tools were not even thought of . . . noteibly not available.
and those tools were often given a name.
just because a millennial decides to name a tool does not make it the correct name.
same goes for the sand paper aka emory paper, emory cloth, emory paddle wheel [ all sizes ] .
so you go on and call it by the millennial name. . .
as for the Mill Wright Worker they know the real name of the tools.
p.s.
what 'loop' are you referring to?
very good.
this is a good video
Take tools that you dont know how to use but are useful. Maybe someone who knows how pulls over to help.
So I shouldn't trust my OEMS toolkit. Got it.
I stopped all at once carrying all the tools cause no one else would and when I'd help my tools would get lost and I'd get jack shit at the end. Yet when I don't carry the tools and I break down there is a $charge$ before ANYONE lends me their tools. Now I ONLY carry tools when I ride alone.
In my opinion, those are crappy people to ride with! Find new friends to ride with hah.
I think the weight of your "tool rolls" is too much. So much metal..
Yep good stuff
A pair of tools ;)
yeahhhh!!!!!!!!!
Why would you skin a cat?
"Show me your tools" hahaha
Ha! jokes on you, i just carry an entire engine just in case.
Or you can just find a friend who rides the same bike as you do :)
A real biker will NEVER leave their bike stranded ever if broke and can't repair it they will push it
The off angle shots to their face while their talking is disconcerting.
Spurg with the 80's pornstar stache.
Watched another tool video, spent more money.
Am I the only one who thinks spurge sounds a bit like Bill Nye
It has been mentioned before haha. -DrewZilla
sssoooooo..... what you're saying is.... you just need tools to keep a Harley running... but you need tools to fix ADV bikes because you break things while riding hard?.... i need to sell this Harley....
