Hi.

What does the standard Yam TRX toolkit consist of?

Thanks

Pete

Some cheap ally spanners, cheap ally pliers, a c spanner for the shock, a couple of allen keys, a cheap ally screwdriver and a useful plug spanner from memory.

the plug spanner is the only thing that stands out as useful
the rest is just normal stuff

Pretty much self explanatory
Left end tool is an extension for the rear axle spanner.
This kit is missing the handle for the screwdriver shafts.
C spanners are like rocking horse shit to get apparently
Second from the left end is a rod that fits neatly into the hole in the end of the C Spanner?

In my experience you can get the C spanners almost anywhere.

I think my tool kit has been robbed of spanners. I needed one once so bought a set of spanners for Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£1 from the market. I suspect they are as bad quality as the yamaha ones.

Bought a set of 3 C spanners from the Excel bike show, for a tenner, the middle one fits just fine.

... and at the risk of falling into Jak's 'how-many-forum-members-does-it-take-to-change-a-lightbulb' trap ... one of the best mods I did lately was to drill a second hole trough the plug spanner at 90Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â° to the original and put a 15Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â° kink in the end of the tommy bar. No more fiddling around trying to get things to line up when you're up to your elbows in a TRX engine.

that's a classic

that toolkit looks pretty much as shite as the one honda give you, total waste of space

my opinion, do a regular service once a week.. only takes 5mins tops ! visual tyre, grab nuts / bolts / shake fairing etc.. dash / mirrors.. check your suspension settings (if you know them, my old forks had a tendancy to actually CHANGE after long rides.. figgure that one out).

If it gets to the point where you need a toolkit on a ride, your fairly much screwed imo.. Personally i dont carry one. I do my weekly once-over before a ride on the weekends.. works a treat for me.. but saying that, everyone is different.

preventative mechanics is usually the best

then you just get stuck with the little things that *hopefully* you can ride through.

grab nuts

Usually in trouble if this happens
