http://crosstrainingenduro.com http://www.crosstrainingenduro.com How to build the perfect tool kit for adventure riding and dual sport riding. We will cover the basic motorbike tool kit, then the ultimate version for long trips in remote areas. We also have tips for reducing the weight, where to carry your tool kit, and how to bulletproof your adventure bike or dual sport bike. How many tools do you need? That depends on various factors. Are you riding alone? How far are you going? Is it a remote area? The basic adventure tool kit for dual sport riding! Welcome to Cross Training Adventure, we are into all things dual sport and adventure on the east coast of Australia. The standard tool kit for most motorbikes is very simple and is only suitable for short rides. We think it's a good idea to add a few items that aren't heavy or bulky in a motorbike tool kit. A small air pump. Use valve caps that can also remove valves. Carry some spare valves. A spare spark plug in your dual sport tool kit. Clutch and front brake levers. And of course, duct tape, zip ties, and wire. As used by space shuttle engineers. Zip ties can be used as emergency piston rings in your dual sport riding tool kit. Duct tape can be used to silence riding buddies who talk too much. The tool kit of champions. The intermediate tool kit for adventure riders. Venturing further from home? Lets add some more tools. The adventure riding tool kit. Tubeless tyres? Carry a tubeless repair kit. Tubes? Carry spare tubes, tyre irons and a puncture repair kit. To reduce weight, you can just have a front tube which can be used in the rear wheel for an emergency repair. o subscribe. Or don't subscribe to our Cross Training Adventure riding channel. The main thing is get out and ride while you can with dual sport riding or Adventure riding in Australia, Canada, Vietnam, Romania and beyond! So check out Cross Training Adventure. See our video about reducing punctures. Extra nuts and bolts. Spare fuses. A tow rope. Brake pads. A basic first aid kit. A metal epoxy like JB Weld or Quick Steel is good for repairing broken levers or holes in radiators and crankcases. If it's a big hole, you can use the alloy sheet from a soda can to cover larger areas. Chain repairs? Carry a chain breaker, spare links and a master link. The adventure riding ultimate tool kit! Riding for days in remote areas? Lets get serious! Carry enough tools for use on every nut and bolt on your motorbike. Rubber hose can be useful if your fuel line breaks. A universal cable repair kit is handy for broken clutch or throttle cables. Think about spare parts such as fuel pumps and electronics like the regulator and ECU, especially if these are a known issue with your motorbike. Electrical issues? Carry spare wiring and a voltmeter to diagnose issues. Carry a flashlight if your phone doesn't have one. Power packs and/or jumper leads. Some motorbikes can't be clutch-started when the battery dies. Vice grips can be a substitute for broken levers. On motorbikes with dual front brakes, these can clamp off a broken brake line, to let the other brake line function. Super glue can be useful for small holes in radiators, and even be used to close gashes in your skin. An emergency sidestand can be useful if there are no logs or big sticks to lift your motorbike for wheel removal. Extra engine oil, brake fluid, and brake fluid bleeding kit. Water purification tablets or water filters are a great idea if you could be stranded for a long time. A hand saw, knife, insect spray, cigarette lighter, and a pair of walking shoes are handy for the same reason. Consider a more advanced first aid kit, and also a first aid course. A space blanket is very compact but useful in very cold conditions. A winch and pulley system. These are great if you need to pull a big adventure motorbike out of a ditch. A solo rider with back problems can also use this to lift a fallen motorbike. Do you have any tips? Let us know and we'll include them in the pinned first comment. This is one of our three channels, there's also a Cross Training Trials channel, and a Cross Training Enduro channel. All three are equally dodgy. So called dual sport riding reviews are just glossy ads nowdays. All we are saying is there's also the budget option for adventure riding. So the Cross Training Adventure focus is just get out there and have fun on two wheels. What else? Cross Training Adventure actively avoids sponsorship. We like doing seriously critical reviews. Manufacturers make some really bad mistakes. and there is a lot of dodgy crap being sold out there. Instead of glowing dual sport reviews for kickbacks or free product, we will try to keep the buggers honest.
