Husky trail tools

[elfgixxer]

Hi,

One thing I really like about the Husqvarna is how many of the fasteners are of a standard size. You can do allot of stuff with 8-10-12mm sockets, 4-5-6mm allen wrenches, and a screw driver. However, there are a few other things that require a different tool, wrench, etc…

I am in the process of putting together a wrap of some tools used for my Huskys when I am out on the trail. So far, I’ve got the above mentioned. What do you guys have in your tool kit that you ride with?

Add to that a axel nut wrench and tire tools. While you're at it replace the front axel nut with a hex version which are available from Uptite or Motosportz.

I'll second that. I didn't get w/bike and never did find an allen wrench to fit that stock front nut.

My tool bag has:

(2) Y-wrenches: 8-10-12mm socket & 4-5-6mm allen

small combo tip screw driver

small needle nose vise-grips

Plug wrench & spare plug

spare clutch/brake levers

Combo wrench for rear axle nut and Uptite front axle nut

some zip-ties, electrical tape, safety wire

.....plus I typically have a small Cabela's multi-tool w/LED flashlight

Things I also have in the bag and have never used on the trail are:

Spare master link/clip

Tire irons and small patch/CO2 air kit.

I typically run 6ply tires w/heavy tubes, or will wrap old std tube around new std tube when I change tires......also run Slime in them.

Don't know if the stuff really works on motorcycle tires, but last flat I had was close to 20yrs ago and that was running a std tube in a 2-ply MX tire, w/o slime and w/o any tire repair tools, 15miles back in from the truck......flat thin front tire made for an interesting ride out.

From then on, I decided the minimal effect of a couple extra pounds of unsprung weight is worth not having flats.

I carry a military Camelbak which has large capacity water and backpack. My toolkit has: JB weld, leatherman, small multi screwdriver, spark plug wrench, zip ties, led light, bailing wire, 8, 10, 12mm sockets, short extension and ratchet wrench, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 17 mm open end/box wrenches, combo 15/27mm wrench for rear axle, 3, 4, 5 mm hex keys, electric wire, fuses, wire couplers, master link, cotter pins, wrags, sharpie, gaffers tape.

In a separate bag I have two spare tubes, tire patches, wd-40, gloves, pump, tow strap, vulcanizing glue, super glue, valve stem tool, spare valve stems, pressure gauge and a length of fuel line for siphoning.

The top bag in my pack is my medical kit. Top thing in there is a sanitary napkin (to soak up blood), super glue, surgical stapler, antibiotic creme, bandages, sling, ace bandage, alcohol wipes, wound closure kit, iodine, space blanket.

I also have several Cliff bars, wind proof lighter, compass and signal mirror, emergency whistle, kleenex packs, ibuprofen, cash and a pruning saw.

It's a lot of stuff to carry but I tend to ride alone in rugged back country. Most of it I've never needed. When I do need need to do some trail side maintenance it's good to know I can fix most anything short of a catastrophic failure. If it really goes to hell at least I can make fire and have food for a couple of days.

This is it for tools. Pump is attached to the bike & I carry a small box of emergency repair parts. Just do all your bike maintainence with the tools you carry & you'll know you've got everything you need.

Nice tire iron wheel wrenches. Were did you score those? That would lighten my load by one wrench and two irons.
