What to put in my tool roll in the glove box? 2t Stella

Post by RoaringTodd »

So far I have

7, 8 socket for the cable
4th hand tool
10 socket for other items
screwdriver - flat and phillips
spark plug socket

what kind of pliers should I include?

Am I missing any other socket sizes I need? (What size does the rims use?)

Want to put in my glovebox all the things I need to fix her up. Got some rallies in August I am looking forward to going on.

Thanks - RT

Rims are 13mm, oil drain plug and oil screen cap are 17mm. Might want to put a 17mm open end wrench in for adjusting the mirrors. For pliers, I'd say needlenose, vice-grips, and maybe a slip joint/channel lock.

You seem familiar :shock:

Spare Spark Plug, decent size zip-ties, small container of 2T oil, spare clutch cable. Install a CHT ahead of time. Either disconnect your kill switch wire under the horn-cast or install an in-line switch (mount it with Velcro in the glove-box) that allows you to "open" the circuit when a short from rain happens.

A rag.

Also, with the spare clutch cable, an extra pinch bolt for the end!! I lost that once and used a small vicegrip in its place for a couple miles. (It was already mentioned above, but DEFINITELY include a small vice grip in the tool bag. It has gotten me out of a 'pinch' more than once)

AAA card (or equivalent) and a credit card (keep the glovebox locked).

2 small blocks of wood about 2X4X2 to put under the center stand so you can get the rear tire high enough off the ground. Also a piece of 2" plastic pipe long enough to prop the engine high enough to get the rear tire off.
Check the mini screws holding the wires onto both switch pods as they vibrate loose if not lock tighted.

Switch Pods? What are those?

Thanks for the tip on the 2x4's. I need to do that.

I always keep a condom in the parts tin. I have no idea what I will ever use it for...on a scooter...but I'm hoping it will be brilliant!
