Tres jolie

Does anyone know where I can get the Motion Pro tyre levers please!?

I seem to be drawing a blank...

These ones?

I have been studying this thread with interest, as it is the first time I've come across a suggested tool kit list for the Tenere. (Loads of stuff on the net, and even off the shelf tool kits for BMW's - perhaps they break down more often ;-))

This is what I've assembled so far, from my studies, (and a complete lack of mechanical knowledge) with the aim of having everything needed for a long trip, far too much stuff just for a trip down the shops.

Socket 1/4" 8,10,12,13
Socket 3/8" 14,17,22,24
Axle tool 3/8" 14mm
Ratchet Spanner 8,10,12,13,14
Sliding T-Bar 3/8"
Ratchet adaptor 3/8" for 13mm spanner
Extension Bar 6"
Adjustable Spanner 6"
Adjustable Spanner 10"
Mole Grips
Feeler gauge
Tyre pressure gauge
Tyre Levers
Leatherman Tool
Test lamp
Bit holder Fits 10mm ratchet spanner
Screwdriver/bit flat 3,6mm
Screwdriver/bit Phillips 1,2,3
Screwdriver/bit Pozi 1,2,3,
Allen Key set 1.5,2,2.5,3,4,5,5.5,6
Allen Key 8,10
Tyre Valve tool
Chain breaker
xt660.com stickers :-)

No spares/consumables yet on the list, maybe that would be worth starting as a seperate thread? Anything I've missed, or don't need? I must learn how to post pictures

I spent quite some time geting my Africa Twin toolkit sorted. Mind you the standard one was great really and you could do most things with it. There were only 'quality' improvements that needed to be made. Where the Twin won was that you had somewhere to put the kit without having to fit a tailpack or panniers. This is one of my little but minor bug bears with an otherwise great bike. There is just nowhere to store any bits and bobs. Even the basic standard toolkit barely fits in the slot provided on the Tenere.

I was amazed to discover that the issued toolkit was devoid of a hex spanner for the front axle and a spanner for the rear wheel nut.

Great list JMO and one I will be thinking through and working from. After all, there is no point in reinventing the wheel!

Not sure if this will work, here goes...

Which Tyre irons are those please? Are the contact points flat without raised edges?

Not tried them yet, looked longingly at the motion-Pro ones before ordering these, may still get one of those later on, when I've had some practice at changing tyres and fixing punctures.

Not quite sure what you mean by raised edges - the link has photos of the lever ends, i'll take more photos/ angles if that would help

Thanks for the reply
