- Is there any value in a pre-made motorcycle tool kit? We set out to find out...by building our own apples-to-apples kit based off of the popular Motohansa Pro Series kit for BMW. Do you have the patience it takes to do it? These kits come at a premium price...maybe part of the value is the time you save not doing it yourself?

Any time I acquire a new to me car or bike I pull out the roll away and start on fittings. What fits the fasteners gets put in a plastic bowl. When I’m done , I note the tools needed and head to harbor freight. I will always end up with extra tools doing this, but I end up with a vehicle specific kit for each ride usually sub 100 bucks ( I also end up with like 8x11mm sockets rolling around the rollaway tool chest. I’ve always preferred to do it this way instead of buying a prepackaged kit. Remember when moto manuals told you how to adjust valves? Now it’s warnings not to drink the contents of the battery? With the exception of KTM that actually puts together a pretty decent included toolkit, the rest have gone to don’t drink the battery. Much better to make your own.
Harbor Freight….great resource…sor some reason, missing the metrics I was looking for this time around!
Like your videos. Please keep up the good work!
Thank you very much. I am committed to bringing more content and getting better at the delivery! Great things to come!
Well done keep the vids coming.
Thank you Gregory! Stay tuned, more videos per your request. We are working on the next one now followed by 20 more on the list! IT'S TIME! MOTOAPES IS BACK!
Yes you can save money, especially with bits, but those cheap bits strip, break or get stuck so you’re buying them 2-3+ times over. Cheap ratchets are clunky and have a lot of slop, which can be the difference between tightening that hard to reach bolt or not.
Agreed. And, if time is money…you spend a lot of time putting a kit together.
The motion pro mp tool kit plus the bikes stock tool kit is enough for me for anything except suspension work and inside the engine work and chain repair. I think I added a few torx bits for the KTM. But carried it on a DR650 and now a KTM 790. Has worked so far.
I will add as a further side note. Any work I've done on either bike has only been with the stock tool kit and the motion pro mp kit to make sure I got it all covered. So far so good.
Thank you Paul for your input and support! Please keep watching because I/we are committed to doing this on a regular basis!
Great video dude. Thanks
Wrenches and spark plug sockets: you can find good quality brands for next to nothing in dump bins in a pawn shop-- Husky, Crafstman, etc. They don't seem to recognize anything that doesn't say Snap-On or Mac as a quality tool. As far as T-handle functionality, get a good cellulose handle screw driver, and bore a hole through the handle large enough to accommodate the 6" 1/4" rdrive extension. Money saved.
Wow--so glad you did it rather than me! Good for entertainment, but truth be told, if I need repairs/service, I'm calling someone else--even if I'm in the wilds of the Yukon territory (wish me luck).
Interesting I was contemplating a bike specific pre loaded set. Until I looked at the price. I probably have most of the individual generic tools somewhere. I might need some specific torx bits ect.
The oil thing and the coil do dad are under the seat.
I don't know how many spark plug sockets I have lost in my basement. One must fit.
Same with Allen wrench, crescent wrench, sockets etc. All regular or metric. I have some high grade and some cheep disposable The real question when will I ever actually get round to going and sorting a comprehensive set of bike specific tools for my bike.
And putting them in a roll.
I got tire plug, vice grip, multi driver, adjustable wrench and AA roadside assistance.
I’d definitely go for the curated tool kit rather than homemade. What was the freight cost to get that pre made kit?
Hi there! I paid $29.00 but it will depend on where you live I am sure.
That T tool and ratchet are worth the price of entry if you got it.
