2016 RT - What Tools should be in the tool kit? Help

[Flashman]

Hi All:
I am new to the Spyder world and will have many questions. But for now just 1, I just purchased a gently used 2016 RT-S w/ 1250 miles Thought it was new when I saw at the dealer. The RT came with extras Trunk rack, back rest and passenger arm rest. But what it didn't come with was the tool kit. So what I could use some help with is what tools came with the kit and what tools should be carried while riding in case of an emergency. I have a vast array of tools as I have been an auto mechanic, an electrician and production repair mechanic, I have a vast amount of SAE, Metric, and even British Whitworth (as I have a 1967 650 Triumph) So any and all help will be greatly appreciated. I have searched the forums with no success if there is a post that list the tools please let me know what forum.
thanks in advance.

Raise the seat up, and take a look at the rear, right-hand underside of it.
The tool pouch "should be" strapped to the bottom of the seat back there.

Happy hunting! :thumbup:

If you'd like to just replace the tool kit, you can buy one for about $55 from www.cheapcycleparts.com, part # 704700158.

I don't remember the contents of the kit, but a basic kit for the byke should include:

• a set of star drivers
• a set of metric allen wrenches
• a flat head and phillips head screwdriver
• a 10mm wrench
• a fuse puller and replacement fuses

I think you could just about disassemble the bike with those basic tools.

I made a kit by going around and sizing all the fasteners I thought I would reasonably remove in the field. There really aren't that many. I keep an electronic copy of the repair manual on my smartphone.

I had a 1967 Bonneville when I was younger. Biggest mistake I ever made was selling that beauty.:gaah:

Tool kit is usually under the seat as Bob D. said or it may be in the frunk behind the liner.

Mostly useless except for very minor repairs. I have added an assorted torx set and some blue lock tight. Others carry a tire patch kit and a portable pump. I am not mechanical so will have to wait for the tow in the event of a mechanical breakdown.

Thanks to all

I will take all suggestions and come up with one again thanks

 

[Bob Denman]

Please let us know what you cook up! :thumbup:

Essentials are Torx 30, a flat tip screwdriver for removing push pins and a 10 mm socket. That will get your Spyder undressed.

 

[Bob Denman]

That will get your Spyder undressed.

:shocked: I dunno...
A good dinner and a night on the Town; always works well for me! :thumbup:

:yikes: .... FOR $55.00 I could buy all the torx and hex sockets plus screw drivers ( that can reverse & rachet ) and small floor jack ..... All except the floor jack can be put in the trunk :yes::roflblack: .... Mike :thumbup:

You got the better end of the deal, my tool kit on my 2016 RTS was in the rear trunk Velcroed to the bottom. Good luck

You got the better end of the deal, my tool kit on my 2016 RTS was in the rear trunk Velcroed to the bottom. Good luck[In the back trunk is where the manual says it should be I have the velcro no tools. Your Ride look just like mine ]

 

[Ramg66]

Sweet, I love the color. Sorry about your tools but they are not the big of a deal, a couple wrenches and like 4 or 5 torx screwdrivers. if you need specifics let me know.

2016 RT Tool kit

Just picked up our 2016 RT Limited last week. I was looking for the tool kit also, looked under the seat, No tools or straps to be found. Are they not included or just missing? ray:

My tools for my 2016 RTL were in the rear trunk all the way down in the bottom as well.
