Speed Triple - Tool-roll Essentials.

Small and medium adjustable spanners and tie wraps

Might be sacrilege but it sorted my ball unscrewing it self from the gear pedal last week

 

Never use an adjustable on your bike ! Nasty horrible things.
Carry a small selection of combination spanners instead.
Get an oxford bike tool kit and add to that a 1/4” Drive ratchet. If you have a 1/4" breaker bar add that as well.
Cable ties, duct tape are the other must have items. None of those take up much room.
I also carry a mini compressor and puncture repaired kit if going a fair distance.

 

Nothing wrong with a good quality adjustable for a portable tool kit, something like Bacho or better will last a lifetime. The jaws stay parallel so it’s just a case of making you the user knows how to adjust it correctly.

Now if you are going to apply a serious amount of torque that’s a different matter altogether and I would suggest that you won’t be carrying out such a task at the side of the road.

Just my two pennies worth having spent twenty odd years maintaining Boeing aircraft.

 

Allen or hex keys.
Wrap some insulating tape around one of the spanners - saves taking a whole roll!

 

Having had Triumphs from the late 60's i always carry tie wraps n spanners to get me home, odd that we had the same prob but no surprise to me as Triumphs have always come apart on there own

 

I have 3 Bachos of different sizes. For anything other than my bike they are fine. A roll of combination spanner’s up to 19mm only takes up a little more space than a couple of adjustable ones.
Even less if you are only carrying those you need.
Each to their own, I know which I prefer to use

 

Halfords sell a mini motorcycle toolkit for £10 which looks ok for an emergency but may well need a few spanners adding to it, if only to get some purchase on the sockets via the extension provided.
Or maybe I missed something - again!!

 

It’s similar to the Oxford one.
I got that free for doing a quote on Carol Nash a while ago.
Reasonable selection of sockets etc but doesn’t have a 1/4” drive ratchet so I just add my 1/4” to it.
As a freebie can’t really complain

Get this one cheaper and exactly the same.
Just try to beat the price I got mine for

 

I can recommend one of these compressors, but doubt you'll find room under the seat for it along with a tool roll. Fortunately 99% of the time I have the wife in tow on her Street Triple which has more space, fits under there along with the puncture repair kit (stringy type).
It does mean I have to make sure I don't loose her in case I get a puncture though.

...fitted a different connector so it uses the battery charge lead already fitted.
