CRF 300 L Toolkit

Honda CRF 300 L tool kit

What needs to get done?

Let’s be realistic, unless you are kitted out for a longer trip there is not that much you can do even if you have the tools with you. It’s unlikely you are carrying a replacement levers or inner tubes with you on those everyday ordinary rides.

Mostly what I want from my always-on-tool-kit is the ability to tighten anything that might get loose or knocked out of whack AND get access to places to do the above or evaluate the situation.

My philosophy is that I want to get the above things done anytime, anywhere and I want to have the tools needed ALWAYS on the bike. On the other hand, anything that does not fit inside the toolbox, doesn’t get to go on board.

Longer trips are a separate case entirely.
