With the lacking off general roadside tools on this thing what are you guys carrying in the event that it ever leaves you stranded? In what and where on the scoot are you carrying it?

*Patch kit
*Tire spoons
*12v pump
*Spare 17” tube
*adjustable wrench
*phillips/flat screwdriver
*8/10 & 12/14 combo wrenches
*14, 17, 19 mm sockets
*5, 6 mm hex bits
*1/4 drive ratchet with 4” extension and 3/8 adaptor
*Chain tool and spare master link
*Extra plug
*Epoxy and safety wire
*WD-40, rags and gloves

All of this is pretty heavy/bulky and only about 1/3 of it will fit in the tool box. Would like something that is a little lighter and packs smaller. I see kitco sells a kit on weblike but it looks like a standard kit in a bulky tin. Anybody got or find anything that covers it all and is somewhat compact and light-weight?

I have the Kitaco 33 piece tool set but you are right that it's heavy. It comes in just shy of 2lb and having put it in my top case around the block I can tell you half the sockets will come out of their spots in the plastic tray if you try driving around with it in that heavy tin. I bought it just to have a little tool kit to bring out for working on the bike. I'm still putting together a kit for this bike, but will likely try to fit most of it into a Kriega Kube.

The MP Tool (Metric) is a favorite of mine, just takes some regular use to get familiar with all the different ways to set it up. https://www.motionpro.com/product/08-0161
