I've learned a lot from your video. Thank you, bro.
Watched this 2X. Great presenter, was looking for specific AT tools to drag along. Beer was a nice touch, made me thirsty. Ride safe!
Nice to hear a young man narrate without every other word being ,,,you know!
Awesome job on tool kit. Mine is almost identical. I carry a small light hand pump also. Tool mat no longer sold but a piece of Tyvek works also, make a pouch on it to hold bolt etc. Also a 4 foot double ended SAE cord to jump bikes. I like to use a SAM splint folded, not rolled, to hold my first aid kit and always have some Voile Straps also. I'm old and my riding buddies are too. The knees are not what they used to be and I can't get anyone but me to wear braces...it's not only your bike that may break. I separated my bicep tendon in the middle of nowhere, alone in Colorado lifting my 800. Thus the 690 now....
All great tips. Thanks!
I just bought that tool mat. It's made in the US.
Tusk/Rocky Mountain ATV is my go to source for everything. Spare clutch cable for the KLR (I've had two break on me). P.S. I put a 21" in my 17" rear and it went flat within 20 miles. I now carry both tubes.
yep, I have a RM dealer account. everything comes from them. sorry the front to rear didnt work out. but yes its ideal to carry the right extra tube
What a fantastic detailed list of tools you/we MUST have. Some I would not even have though of bringing along with me. Cheers
Really great content overall, love the channel, and this video in particular was well done and super helpful.
Never heard about the torch and weld sticks. Makes greats sense!
Thank you. Great youtube. The new AT comes with very few tools. Building this kit will be a lifesaver. And can't wait to drink a Rupture IPA in FC. Thanks again.
Awesome! I was able to get the Klim bag on EBay about a year ago... love it
Very complete, If you dont mind me adding a couple of things...One being stainless steel zip ties, they are great and can be used wherever heat might damage a plastic one( exhausts). My other is a tip..... white out yes white out not to be taken with but, in shop after you have tightened fasteners a small line or dot on head of bolt and mating surface. If you see the paint not matching up its probably loosened. Alot faster to visually inspect problem nuts or bolts, critical ones too wheel axles etc....
Very good add ons! I use whiteout all the time on fasteners, and used to carry stainless zip ties, but for some reason quit doing that. Maybe Iâll throw some back in. Thanks!
Just bought my Africa Twin and looking for tips. I appreciate you sharing what you've learned from experience. First thing I did was replace the windshield and lost the wellnuts down inside. Had to tear down the entire bike! LOL.
Great video and insight. Thank You!
Great video! Nice tips and thanks for sharing your thoughts on the tools etc. Looking forward to your upcoming videos.
+Daniel Lundqvist thanks for watching. New episode came out today! If you havenât yet, head over and check it out.
Great series, very informative and with lots of tips. Well done, keep it up!
+Nelio Afonso thanks! New Gear and beer every Thursday
Awesome channel, thanks man!
Dude. Love the format! This was exactly the info I've been looking for for exactly the bike I ride. Thank you.
Dork in the Road glad I could help
Thanks for showing me what you carry this will help me build up my tool kit for my AT đ
Gary Keighley glad to help
Great video! đđŒ
Love to see how that tire tool works.
great tips as always
Great for the video, really useful đ
+1 to all the other nice comments. Just found your channel and subscribed âïž
Great video, thank you!!
Great info, really enjoying your videos. As a new AT rider its very helpful.
Glad you enjoyed it. If you havenât yet, hit subscribe, to see more videos like this every week
Tire change video using that tool would be cool! It takes me forever to change em..so anything that helps would be nice!
Noted!
Same. Iâve seen that No Pinch too but never an actual user review/demo. I had a rear flat on my ATAS the first time I had it on dirt and it sucked ass. Iâm definitely interested in anything that makes it easier.
clarksc123 Iâll do it on an episode very soon. It wonât be in tomorrowâs, but maybe next weeks!
You should look into a Knipex plier-wrench.
I donât have an Africa Twin, or a Honda, but this was well worth my time for the tips on vice grips, fuses, wire splicing, and your overall organization. That beer looks good, too!
glad you got something out of it. Thanks for checking it out.
Can't wait to watch a video about how the Baja no pinch tool and the MRS work!.
Both coming soon for sure.
@@backcountryadvmoto You, the yanks, are just like Batman... You have the coolest toys!
Best video Iâve seen in awhile. iPAâs are the best. Keep up the great content. đ
Thanks, will do.
+AXIS-OF-WEASEL thanks, Iâll be putting out videos every week.
Nice video. Look into some Deltec. Its like zip ties on steroids, super strong! On in a 50' roll & you cut what ya need stick a end on it & crank it down. Iv had it holding stuff onmy jeep rack for several years!
Excellent Video Thank you
You are welcome!
Good job. Good job. Good jooooooob!!!
Appreciate it. Thanks for checking it out.
Love the idea of using the small vise grips as a temporary lever.
+Marzan it works!
Thanks for the vids bro. Nice job
Glad you like them!
Great video man! Iâd love to see you demonstrate the BNP tool! Very useful tool, and Iâd like to see your techniques! I dig the format...gear and beer!! LOL!! âđŒ
Will do! Itâs on the list for one of the videos in the next few weeks. More Gear and Beer videos to come every Thursday
Outstanding
Excellent content on this video. I have a V-Strom 1000XT and can apply your ideas to my tool bag.
Thanks, yes it does, and its didnt help that it was cold in the garage.
Buen video, AT bro. Excelent ideas
Thanks for watching.
Always like seeing what is in other people's kits! I always find something new :P
Thanks for the work on the extensive list in the description!
My pleasure! Glad you liked it.
Really appreciate these videos. The best on CZcams in my opinion. Keep them coming. Looking forward to your review on the 66i and one on your TPMS youâre running? Thanks for the great content.
Thanks! Will do!
great info! Thanks
No problem!
Great review thanks. Very helpful.
I meant your Cardo BOLD JBL vid. But Iâm sure this one is great too.
Thank you
Thanks for this. New to adventure biking (AT Adventure Sports) and planning a 9500mi. ride across Canada this year...alone.
Wow thatâs an amazing trip! If you will be posting on instagram whatâs your account name? id like to follow along.
@@backcountryadvmoto 1957konaman. Yes will be posting. Trip is planned for either beginning July or beginning August 2022. Thanks for all the great content đđŸ
Hey man ! this is such a great video for someone like myself. Im new to the motorcycle world, and I wasn't sure what to carry on my Africa for a tool kit. you should definitely do more videos like this. Thanks again !
Thanks a lot! Glad to help. Thatâs why I do these videos. Helping others so they donât learn the hard way
Not only for the new motorcycle rider. I am a police motorcycle instructor and I learned a lot from someone who takes the time to post such videos. Thanks and please show more like how to videos. Replacing tires using the tools you carry. So grateful for searching your knowledge.
Maris Kuenen thanks will do. More to come for sure. Make sure and hit subscribe so you can see the new videos every Monday and Thursday
Btw the tool kit pouch also is shipped with every KLIM backpack
Yep could of use that charger yesterday, turn the bike off with the kill switch, left the key on , the GPS drained the battery to nothing. Had to get a jump start from a truck (tried push starting the bikes to heavy) it was kinda sketchy where the hot jumper cable connects to the battery, is about a 1/4 of an inch from the grounded crash bar.
I love the No Pinch. A buddy helped me out with one. DEF do a video please.
Can do. Ill get one in the next few weeks
Good stuff! I'd like see a video on the Baja tool
Video coming for sure
I thought I carried a lot of crap lol. Great video! I have pondered the Baja for 2 years now. I may have to get one if it really is that easy.
Sciberras Outdoors itâs a excellent tool once you get the hang of it.
I've sworn off Amazon.
Realy good kit, the only thing im missing in the rotopax is a small mulitmeter. Especialy on such a modern bike.
This is true, and I actually do carry one. Cant believe I forgot to mention it
Thanks!
No problem!
You replaced all of the bolts on the outback protection bars? did you piece them together or it sort of looks like a euro bike bolt kit?
Great stuff! And yes, how was the beer?
Love the vids. I bought that butane torch and similar rods and the 1300c 503 torch doesnât have the heat to braze 1/4 aluminum sheet as a test. I bought a cool adapter to use jet boil fuel to refill torch. My larger propane torch can heat up base and then I rub the rod and it works great. The Amazon torch link is way different from the torch in the vid. What torch that is small and could be used in the field? Great idea btw! Iâm just testing before Iâm in the field and really need it.
I wonder if my jet boil fuel in the 503 torch has a lesser heat rating than pure butane. I like the idea of being able to refill my torch with jet boil from my cooking set with a tiny adapter, which I tested and won't brazer the aluminum I tested with. My large propane torch (too big for MC IMO) works great though and many people along the trail will have those, so having the alumin weld rods is a "cool hack"!
I LOVE your vids! I have the same helmet and purchased lots of gear based on your recommendations. keep up the good work!
do you carry any fluids? Chain lube, dish soap, oil, window cleaner, etc? Loctite is pretty smart ;-)
Great video sir! Can you do a review on your Klim Krios Pro helmet perhaps?
Yes I absolutely will its on the list to do really soon. Thanks for watching
Can you provide a detailed list?
would like to see how to use that alien looking tire change tool
What kind of tube?
I do not see the links other than pliers :-(
Baha no pinch video would be great to see!
I did one last week. Check it out.
czcams.com/video/u5eJn_dgZDE/video.html
Please show us the Baja No Pinch. "change a tire in 10 min" WOW
Yeah... show that Baja tire changer... I've been on the fence on that tool... Thanks
Will do! coming soon. thanks!
Great video! I ride a 2016 Africa Twin. What year is yours? I'm just curious if the wrench sizes are all the same.
+Mike I have a 16 as well. Yes they are the same from 16-19 for sure
I put mine together based on exactly what fasteners are on my bike and what I expect to need.
Absolutely. No need to carry extra stuff for no reason. But I will say sometimes I do try and carry tools that fit my buddies bike as well because thereâs been several times where Iâve been with a riding buddy and something has gone wrong and that person wasnât prepared and it wouldâve messed up up the trip for both us is and I was was able to save our our bacon by being prepared for them lol
@@backcountryadvmoto very good point. Thanks
Master link?
You make great lists, I probably missed it, what GPS unit do you use, and what GPS app do you put on your cell. ?
+Anomie Voyager Pro GPS, And Gaia GPS. App
@@backcountryadvmoto Thanks
U need 12v multi meter or at least voltage tester and chain tool plus spare chain link which I save when fitting a new chain and a chain joining link
Yes chances of breaking a chain is highly unlikely . Iâve seen it happen
You know itâs funny you bring this up, because after rewatching this video I realized that I didnât mention that I bring a small tester. I also have a very small chain tool as well. Sorry I didnât mention that, but thanks for adding it down here in the comments
Backcountry Adventure Motorsports
U have everything covered I thought it was a little strange not mentioning that.
U and I think the same as far as gear preparation đ
Love your vids mate
advrider777 thanks Iâm working on doing 2 a week right now
Are u in N Idaho? I like your CDA powersports sticker.
Yep Iâm in CDA
@@backcountryadvmoto I am in PF... I just purchased a 890 r from cda powersports. Thanks for the vid.. very helpful in putting together my kit... I like your level of preparation.
Hi,
I have a 19 and 17 inch rims on front and rear.. can I just carry 19 inch spare tube on trips. Does 19in tube can be used on 17in rim?
You can, just like the 21 in the 18, its not ideal, but it will work to get you out of the woods and back home.
@@backcountryadvmoto thanks!!
I'm from India & I use Hero impulse motorcycle which has 19 front and 17 rear rim setup.. my question is can I carry only 19inch tube in case of emergency
Raman Kr yes it will work just fine for emergencies
Tire changing mat link not working.
Yeah I donât think itâs available on Amazon anymore. Here is another really good option www.amazon.com/dp/B09NNMSWCG/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_QASN9XZ8SN7DNR2HBWF5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&linkCode=ml2&tag=ridewithbam-20
If you wrap a tow strap around the handle bar you are sorting out lifeâs course on ur own. What happens when you turn before the guy behind you can think about it
I have the answer heâs screwed.
No I think youâre misunderstanding. The point of just wrapping it around and holding it with your hand is if the guy being towed for any reason doesnât like whatâs going on in front he lets go and the two arenât connected anymore. Itâs not like the towing is being done on tight single track. Generally, at least if youâre being safe about it the towing is being done on a road or area where turning is a minimum. Iâve done this a number of times and Iâve never had an issue but there is always that one guy. That guy could be you I guess đ€·đŒââïž
You are incorrect but go ahead and give it a whirl.
You wrap it wrong and it wonât come off. You have to figure new riders are watching you
Also use foot peg is the proper answer
I love my wench, but I'd be in trouble if I referred to her as 'used'.
The essential and survival TOOL you haven't mentioned in your video about your EDC. for me even for week foot adventure in to the wilderness ill carry a minimum of Ruger GP100 snubnose 7 shoot revolver. anyway maybe in other video, I really applause your biking skills either riding on rocky terrain or rock garden you know your best lines. thank you for sharing.
Don't be a fool and buy titanium wrenches. They are weak and the weight of 4 steel wrenches are less than 1lb. There is better way to save a pound or more with less money.
Just seeing how you are just have not seen anything new for some time
He's lying. Nobody has a 10mm. As soon as you buy them they disappear.
