hi there i noticed that my xt660z didnt have a tool kit with it, just wondering where i can get one from? that is if you can get them?

Sure you can get them and the standard kit is actually very good. Try Ebay or your local Yam dealer.

(Now sold on, sob) 2011 Blue XT660X with gold wheels, was 26,500 km.
Engine mods: K&N Stage 1 filter, DNA Stage 2 filter, snorkel removed, Kev fuel mod fitted.
Plus: smoked Puig screen, Yam aluminium sump guard, Yamaha / Acerbis handguards, Givi Trekker aluminium side cases, Leo Vince X3 cans plus Kev front fork mod and Fender Xtender. Just fitted Michelin Road Pilot 3 tyres.

SOLD the XTX for a Super Ten 1200. And just bought a Raptor 700 so staying on here for some tips....

Not many Tenere owners are going to agree with you there.

In my opinion, forget it. make your own up. In the OE kit, the tools are pretty flimsy, the plug spanner doesn't go over the plug (and if you do manage. you can't turn it!) it doesn't even have a socket for removing either wheel, or tightening the mirror mounts.

Best put your own kit together. I'm about to head off north, just as soon as the missus finishes drying here hair (4 days on the bike in the Highlands - bliss), but I'll tell you the composition of my own toolkit when I get back. Others will be able to tell you what you need in the meantime, it really isn't very much at all.

Of course, having an OE toolkit, for completion, is always good when re-selling the bike.

My tool kit 'was' that good that I have this instead.......

As above - I wouldn't bother with the standard tool kit. Everything is made of cheese and most of what you'll need either isn't there, doesn't fit or will bu99er up your fasteners!

Make your own up. Best way to work out what you need is to perform each job on the bike (removing wheels, oil, filter, plug, plastics, tank, brake pads, change tyres etc.) making a note of what you use, then put together a kit with those items in it. Add some gear to deal with electrical repairs, chain repair and a good stash of cable ties and you'll be pretty much sorted.

When you next work on the bike try and use what you've put in your customised toolkit on the bike (rather than rely on what's in the garage/shed) so you get used to what you've got at hand on your travels; you'll also find out if you've got anything missing.

The only thing that came with the bike in my toolkit is the plug box spanner, and even that's been cut down to make it fit!
