    What not normal tools, not in tool bag, should I have for riding, lime 12mm for emer. brake?

    Also what not normal tools are needed for home shop, like 24mm socket for oil filter or 38mm for rear axel?

    I agree with trikermutha. You need a 36 mm socket to remove the oil filter cap and rear axle nuts for an RT with the 1330 ACE engine, i.e., 2014 and newer MY. Are you really planning on changing the oil while on the road? If you plan to carry a 36 mm socket you should have a 1/2" drive ratchet and short extension. If you are planning on removing the rear wheel on the road you are substantially increasing the tool requirement. Ergo, depends on what you want to be prepared to do on the road.

    otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

    This was a discussion on the Ryker forum, oddball sockets (like the Ryker axle nut) or tools might be worth carrying along as a tire shop will probably have a 1/2" drive - but not that monster socket.

    AAA Plus, or other roadside / towing plan. Sets of torx and allen wrenches. 36 mm combo wrench for right side axle nut. 36 mm combo or socket and cheater bar for left side axle nut. A bike lift and jack stands. Folding wheel chocks, HF has 'em and carry 'em in your bike in case of P brake failure. Drive up ramps for the front wheels are nice to have.
