    Ride-on in your tires helps a lot better then trying to carry the stuff to try & fix a flat

    Default Let's see..!!

    You have tools, spare fuses on the roadster. A qt. of oil some tire repair kit with air supply, space permitting and availability limited a gallon of gasoline. This will cover what you can do on the road. Road side assistance (AAA, Allstate, BRP etc) will require a cell phone and credit card...should cover you...now drop the negative feelings and get out there and enjoy your trip..you will be fine..!!

    What tool kit? I bought an RT Limited 2 weeks ago and it did not have a tool kit.

    You may want to add something to repair flats be it a Slime Kit with a compressor, or a can of Fiz-a-flat.
    It might not do any good but it makes you feel better.

    AH-HA - I found it. Kinda hidden out of sight. Yes, it is new and I don't think the dealer was aware of the tool kit. Thanks for the help...

    When all else fails, read your manual...then send a copy to your dealer.

    I read that manual so many times, I almost have it memorized. But I still could not see the tool kit. Did not think to look UNDER the seat. I just thought it would be laying under where the seat is, and not UP UNDER it held with Velcro straps. Even after 40 years as an engineer, I still have lots to learn. Thanks for the sanity check...
