The best tools one can have are: zip-ties, duct-tape and superglue they fix it all and i never leave home without em. Anyone else got any good tools to bring riding?!:silly:
along with a 10mm, 12mm wrench and a spark plug wrench few tie wrap some tape. four way screw driver, couple jets a couple spare plug's "I give most of them to other rider's on the trails" can get out of most problems that are'nt too tough. :confused:
Greenhorn is King ZipTie! His white YZ front fender has a nice colage of about 20 of them in various dayglo colors. His side plate and silencer are both attached with some stealth black ones I put on there about 2 years ago. I would not be suprised if his connecting rod was somehow spliced with a few of them as well and I'm pretty sure the lack of compression is because the rings are replace with them as well.:)
My old '84 KDX200 sheared the woodruff key holding the flywheel in position on the crankshaft. Good thing it happened close to camp. My buddy had his tool box at the truck, so we used his tin snips to cut a section out of a fender washer, and used that as a temporary key. Rode all day, worked great.
I carry hose, too, although Farmer John's is about 4 times longer than mine. :)
