Thanks

I'd be interested to know what was in the toolkit. If there's a list out there I'd just buy the bits and stick then in a little pack myself!

It is actually quite a neat toolkit.

The main drawback to the standard kit is that Mr Yamaha got confused and put in a 24-22 wheel spanner rather than a 24-17 which is what is needed for both axles

Second-hand kits come up for sale occasionally but are expensive.

I would like to see how and what mounted behind the side panel
thank Chris

Best pic I could find. I have arrowed the lugs used to locate the toolbox.

There is a hole in the bottom of the toolbox case that fits over the dome headed pin on the lower lug. The rubber fastener then holds it safely attaching to the upper lugs. Not lost one yet!

Thanks Brian, very useful to know what Mr Yamaha suggested we carry...now i just need to find something to put it all in!
What tool bag do you guys use and can you recomend where to purchase one in the UK?
Cheers

I use an ex army wash bag which is pretty robust, general rule of thumb is not matter how big you get, you will expand your tool collection to fill to bursting, I need to do a bit of thinning out. I've shoved a spare tube in my cubby hole and chucked the gear (plus butties and random crud) in an old tank bag on the rack.

Hiya, can anyone reccomend which is the best tool bag to fit to the rear of a Raid? Or direct me to a second hand one maybe?
Or even better...the orginal one which would have fitted behind the side panel?
Cheers

I bought one of these:

Tool Bag

And a

Backpack with hydration bladder

the other day from Kreiga, they have a UK outlet as well, I used them for the first time today and they were great, you didn't even know you had the backpack on it was so comfortable, also the 2 packs can beconnected together to make a larger pack, the took bag can be removed from the bike in a few seconds as well

I recomend them entirely. biggrin

Will the tool bag fit on the front guard - or is it a rear guard job only?

The Kriega gear always gets great feedback and looks pretty good to me.

You can fit it anywhere you have a space 300mm long x 160mm wide

they are 100mm deep, I was able to fit all the tools I need for trackside repairs, a mini chain breaker, a mini chain joiner, spare link, clutch and break leavers, 7.2 m of sturdy 6mm nylon rope and still a bit more room left, maybe enough to fit in a pack of smokes if your a smoker, I also lined the bottom with a piece of 6mm thick stiff sponge rubber to give a bit of padding, that takes up a bit of space as it's quite stiff.

anything that won't fit IMO isn't a trackside repair anyway

Buy one, you won't regret it, I was a bit as the price is $49 au but having used it now It's money well spent instead of mucking around trying to make something

Awesome - I am going to get myself one.

You only hear good things about the Kriega kit.

I used a Wahl electric hairtrimmer bag,(nylon and padded with inner pockets),I cut a piece of ali sheet for the base and bolted it through the back mudguard. I've filled it with a mountain bike multi tool that has screwdrivers and allen keys, a small plug spanner,length of nylon rope for emergency tow homes,a handfull of tie wraps,a couple of Jap spanners left over from toolkits of other bikes I've had,a small can of tyre flatmate and a mini can of WD40. Should be enough for a roadside rebuild.
