"Ok guys you really dont need to spend a lot of money. Just a socket kit and this small tool box and that's it...Now over here is my $500 tool box with $500 worth of tools." 😁
JB Weld, Hook and Pick Set, Imperial and Metric nut and bolt assortment kits, Imperial and Metric Tap and Die Set, wire brushes, brass punches, Flexible 3/8 extension, Vernier Caliper, Micrometer, Compression Tester, Air compressor, Angle die-grinder, Drill, 60-piece drill bit set,bench top lathe, bench top drill press, bench grinder with wire wheel, mig welder. The last 4 tools mentioned aren't really necessary, but I have had to use them many times. =) You should really have everything except the last 4. Otherwise, you will need to ship parts out to a machine shop.
that was the perfect video!! Duct tape has saved my life! I was riding in the dunes on my 05 yz250 and took the number plates off and duct taped the airbox on the sides. I went for a ride and my rear wheel nut fell off haha, guess I forgot to tighten it but I was 15 ha. I ended up making a duct tape Nut and kept wrapping the end of the axle with the duct tape from my air box and was able to make it back to camp!
well you made me go out buy new rolling cabinet , my tools in clumps all over the place was getting out of control ,not finding what i needed at hand , ,slowly filling it as i find them all
Mite not be a bad idea to have a tap and die set. I have found it useful if you have a older bike. also if you ever make the mistake of cross threading or you need to do a helicoil to replace bed threads. also have a digital caliper for measuring clearances. Thanks for all of the informative videos. Great channel!
I have a box about that same size that my dad gave me (had no use for it) so I filled it with everything... we pretty much have the same setup. wrench sets, screwdrivers, ratchets, ect. only thing I'd suggest adding is some electrical tools; wire strippers, voltmeter and puller tools. I got a motion pro fly wheel puller for about 20 bucks and I saw case splitters go for cheap too. btw i love your shop... soooo clean, must be nice lol Good videos, keep it up!
Get a set of JIS screwdrivers for the Japanese dirt bikes.You see a lot of stripped out phillips screws on these all because a regular phillips screwdriver has been used.Vessel makes these and there are a couple more that make them
Personally I like having feeler gauges and various gapers for spark plugs along with a set Alan head sockets in case you need a bit more leverage on your Alan heads
I would say that is more than 200$ worth of tools lol. I do think you are spot on though. You can get away with a hand full of tolls to break the whole bike down. I use an old Keg for a tire stand. Never used duck tape on the bike, I prefer the electrical tape. Its crazy that since I got into dirt bikes my tools have expanded and I am now an expert on fixing my bike. You have to be when the bike shop charges 100$ for a valve adjustment and 300$ for a top end.
+Chris Luton (Mutiny5050) The first set of tools in the video wouldn't be much more than 200 or so to get you started. The stuff in the drawers are a lot more than $200 :(
Good video. I see people in the comments have filled in with everything else you'd need or want. I'd add a quality chain break. nothing to me is more aggravating than dealing with a cheap chain break.
good stuff Kyle , .... hey, everything so neat, love it! but why are the wheels on the tool box/cart are not properly lined up ... sort of ruins the whole video ;P
Hey Kyle could you do a video on air filters? Cleaning, oiling, what works, what doesn't. Thanks! Love love love the videos you make. They have helped me a ton.
Love the channel! So glad that I stumbled across it. I always find myself checking in to see what you've got going on. Never would have heard of the Lectron carb otherwise. Absolutely LOVE that thing on my 250xcw. Once again, great channel.
nice toolbox and clean setup!!! when i bought my Ktm, i bought AC Delco digital torque wrench in 1/2 and 3/8 that fit on standard ratchet, easy to setup on the digital screen and have sound warning when approching preset torque value! I didnt want to overtorque screws or nuts on a brand new bike! Im still waiting your wheelie tutorial video!
+andrew jeanveau That's awesome dude. You are way ahead of most 14-16 y/o kids on the planet these days. Keep it up Andrew..! Follow Kyle's advice on this video and you will GTG.
For today's bikes you really need a high dollar snap on torque wrench (if you review how far off most torque wrenches are) and a nice electric screw gun. Nice show Kyle, thanks for the great channel.
I was going to point out that this seemed like one of your lower quality (less organized, more mistakes, etc) videos, but you made up for it all with the duct tape clip at the end ;)
I'm surprised u don't have a compression gauge it's very necessary for 2 strokes u can not only know by keeping track of hours of run time but you can see and verify if it's time for a top end rebuild
I came for info on your torque wrench but didn't get much info on it :( I think it's an ACDelco?? (Edit: Oh not in this video, but I think you have the ACDelco digital in newer videos). Just wondering if I should get the 3/8 and 1/2. How do you torque the bigger stuff if you only have the 3/8" wrench?
I will be moving to the park city area in May and wanted to know if you could recommend a few reputable ktm dealers in the state. Any info is appreciated. Thanks!
what about a torque wrench? because thats mainly why i even searched this video... i also would like to know when brand of torque wrench and what sizes im going to be doing the valves on my bike and dont want to just TIGHTEN everything down i rather go to spec thanks i appreciate it i was going to go with cdi/snapon i really dont know what to do i have alot of tools i need to buy and i just want to get the best possible price you know im a penny pincher
+Dirt Bike Channel I'm buying two torque wrenches both Cdi the snap on certified torque wrenches on amazon These are the links ... Tell me what you think I have no idea what to buy if you have any suggestions please let me know www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002LA19P2/ www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000I1POYS/
Teflon Tape is I mostly used for sealing up threads/ valves that will be having air passing through them. It stops leaks and probably has many more great uses (:
+Dirt Bike Channel That was meant to come off as a joke, sorry if you took it any other way :p It happens almost every time i make a joke because i don't speak English as a native language :)
+Aleksi Tuunainen Uh oh Aleski, you made him mad... You're Finn-ished. No, your joke was funny and it didn't come across wrong. He will ship those extra sockets out to you Monday. :)
+Bad Juju Bought an inch/pound torque wrench by mistake. I'm thinking about taking it back because I've always used a foot/pound wrench. What's the difference or conversion factor. Would it be easier to use foot/pounds?
+Dirt Bike Channel. I like how you say 'standard' when the U.S if one of the only countries still to use the imperial system for bolts. Just sayin haha.
so refreshing to hardly see any overpriced motion pro tools!
spark plug spanner, feeler guages for us 4 smoker riders, wd40

Spring hook, T-Handle, Spoke Torque wrench are some of my favorite tools.
+Bryson Stafford Yeah, those are good things to have as well.
Claw-Hammer, flathead screwdriver, pipe-wrench. Done :D
Very handy are T- handles. I have a set since 1965, they have been around for a long time.
You and my dad would get along great in regard to tool organization. Great job!
I always know if something is missing...
The most helpful thing is a set of t-bar ratchets as well as a breaker bar and ratchet spanners
Haha worth it to watch the end with the duct tape! Haha happy riding my friend #braap

+Bradson Vogel that is a fun story!
Nice BCM hat, I just bought the Jack last month.

+Wesley Marshall Very good suggestions as folks built out their kits.
I've found it's always nice to have a bench vise mounted on the stongest bench in the shop. Always need an extra set of hands when No one is around.
+desertghost Good call. I plan on doing this too. I built a very heavy bench where it would work great.

Haha I'm a little late on the video! Do you mind telling me where you got your wrenches and Torque wrench!
Personally I like having feeler gauges and various gapers for spark plugs along with a set Alan head sockets in case you need a bit more leverage on your Alan heads

I have that exact same Trinity Rollaway. 👌

+johnpaulstez good call there.
caliper micrometer bore dial gauge feeler gauges spark plug gap tool and a telescope gauge all important things to have if u build your own motors
Definitely need a set of picks!!
Need to get myself a tyre stand! Fed up of changing my tyre on my hands and knees haha! And Nice Shelves
+Andy Enduro yeah, it makes things easier.

Another great video!
Danggg, I think I have almost all the thing you have to work on bikes, the only thing is i'm not organized XD awesome video tho

Hey Kyle could you do a video on air filters? Cleaning, oiling, what works, what doesn't. Thanks! Love love love the videos you make. They have helped me a ton.
+Alex Hatheway I've got that on the list of video topics to get to. That list is growing all the time.
Love the channel! So glad that I stumbled across it. I always find myself checking in to see what you've got going on. Never would have heard of the Lectron carb otherwise. Absolutely LOVE that thing on my 250xcw. Once again, great channel.

Beautiful Shop Man

For today's bikes you really need a high dollar snap on torque wrench (if you review how far off most torque wrenches are) and a nice electric screw gun. Nice show Kyle, thanks for the great channel.
I have a torque wrench, but I'd like a more "high dollar one" :)
Maybe I got lucky, but my Harbor Freight is within

Great video !! Was wondering what size ft lbs do you need your torque wrench to cover?
Great video. really helpful.
Great job man..!!
+Hal Simpson Thanks Hal.

How about a spoke torque wrench?
That was good video. Shows that you dont need the 10 million piece set at sears and i tool chest for every tool just to work on bikes.
+Riley Genereux Glad to help.
Where did you get those tire shelves? Did you craft those yourself?
How did you make your tire shelf I really like it?
+Massimo giammarino My dad made them for me for a Christmas present.
What’s the super glue for your decals ?
Where you get the t handle but drivers?
A real bench vice 6 inch is a happy medium.
I have way too many tools. I have like 3 toolboxes full of tools. But I'm not organized. I have too many bikes apart at once.
+Krevin Grard I don't think it's possible to have too many tools :)
I guess thats true lol
Also why the 8oz ballpin hammer
+Trail Bound co It's for hitting things that only need to be hit with about 8 oz of metal :)
Is that the Shinko sitting off to the side you put on not to long ago?? How did you like it?
+wheelspeed831 Only have 2 days on the Shinko. Need to ride it some more before making any judgements on it.
what about a torque wrench? because thats mainly why i even searched this video... i also would like to know when brand of torque wrench and what sizes im going to be doing the valves on my bike and dont want to just TIGHTEN everything down i rather go to spec thanks i appreciate it i was going to go with cdi/snapon i really dont know what to do i have alot of tools i need to buy and i just want to get the best possible price you know im a penny pincher
+Jon Taccona I do have a torque wrench, but I'm not really satisfied with it. Going to look for something better.
+Dirt Bike Channel I'm buying two torque wrenches both Cdi the snap on certified torque wrenches on amazon
These are the links ... Tell me what you think I have no idea what to buy if you have any suggestions please let me know

When will we be seeing some riding videos?
+Gunner Smith Soon my friend. Lots of snow here still in the areas that I like to ride.
What do you use the Teflon tape for?
Teflon Tape is I mostly used for sealing up threads/ valves that will be having air passing through them. It stops leaks and probably has many more great uses (:
+CrustysMoto Ditto.
+1 for the 100mph tape!!!
What brand tools are they
sam, how did you mount those tires on the wall?
+Ivan Mihaljevic Kyle, his friend is Sam. He literally said it in the 1st 5 seconds of the video.
What about your spoke wrench?
+Orange blooded It's in my riding bag.
1 more thing clutch basket holder tool by motion pro
+Gary Woodman I'll have to look into that.
If you don't need some of the sockets you have, you can send them to me to Finland..
+Aleksi Tuunainen I think I can find a use for them. I own more than just bikes.
+Dirt Bike Channel That was meant to come off as a joke, sorry if you took it any other way :p It happens almost every time i make a joke because i don't speak English as a native language :)
+Aleksi Tuunainen Uh oh Aleski, you made him mad... You're Finn-ished. No, your joke was funny and it didn't come across wrong. He will ship those extra sockets out to you Monday. :)
soft blow hammer. inch pound and foot pound torque wrench.
+Bad Juju Bought an inch/pound torque wrench by mistake. I'm thinking about taking it back because I've always used a foot/pound wrench. What's the difference or conversion factor. Would it be easier to use foot/pounds?
+Joe-n-Tex inch pound is used for low tentions typically in alloy or soft metals. keep it and just get a foot pounder also.
+Dirt Bike Channel. I like how you say 'standard' when the U.S if one of the only countries still to use the imperial system for bolts. Just sayin haha.
I do see your point... however... That is how we say it over here... metric and standard. 300 million people in this country understand me :)
Having tools for forks is a must, fork seals are expensive to get done at the dealer, i think its a scam...
+Frederic Jordan yes, those are on my list.
Bearing puller
Your budget for all the tools you need is about $500 to $700 for a good set of tools.
What are the shelves called that are undernethe the KTM flag?
+Solar XSniper My dad just made them for me out of tires. It was a Christmas present.
+Dirt Bike Channel Oh.. Well he did a really good job lol, They look really unique and cool
Has that workbench been dirty yet? Haha. Wouldn't want to do anything on it
+R.J Jetskivids It was new in this video. I do keep stuff clean though.
Zip Ties!!!
Crescent wrench...that is all
should be snap on!
I can't believe someone would give that video a thumbs down they probably do it in 2 minutes
Air compressor maybe
+Team Riddle I have one of those in the shop too. Didn't bring it into the shot though.
That looks way more then a couple 100 bucks
He doesn’t have the most important tool,,, Bluetooth radio playing country music
Doesn't look like you have any zip ties! ;)
A vise
Zip ties
+Jody Tucker Yes, I have them in the shop but forgot to bring them into the video.
First
+Enduro days It's funny to me how this is a thing. First.
+Dirt Bike Channel Just the competitive streak in us dirtbikers ;)
zip ties...... they are almost structural....
+Bad Juju Good call. I have those in my shop but didn't show them. I'm an idiot!
Philips.... You make me cringe
*cough* inferior system *cough*
are you gonna get your hands on a beta anytime soon
+Brannon Meador Just waiting for you to sponsor me :)
sam, how did you mount those tires on the wall?
+Ivan Mihaljevic Wood frame underneath the tires.
