If it's the same size on the 2023 as it was on the 2021-2022 then the 10mm Allen wrench will fit this plug on the left side crankcase cover:10mm Allen wrench (I thought I saw this as part of a kit suggestion, but now I think I just confused it with a 10mm box wrench)
That is the ticket sir! Same set up on the ‘23’s. Thank you for guiding me to it!I like that tool roll.

This is a tool set up to pack on the bike? Or for the garage? I see the flintstone car falling on its side if you tried to pack that much lol.I based mine off @SomeGuyRides's kit from his riding the TAT experience. He has his gear list here: https://tinyurl.com/2c4w3k5u. DaBinChe also has a pretty similar toolkit for the C125 Supercub located here. My needs aren't the same as theirs and they're tuned appropriately.
I have added my tools list here [Google Sheets]; you may need to switch tabs at the bottom to get the actual tool list. I'm still updating it slightly; the sheets list will be the most up to date (and I'll come back and eventually fix this one)
Purpose Tool Brand Where to buy it At home/On the bike Notes Brakes 2.0x15 cotter pin Any Any hardware store Both Used on rear brake. Official Honda is 2.0x15 and replace every time, but definitely cheaper from a hardware store Chain Chain Breaker Any 428 Chain breaker Any motorcycling store At home Chain Spare Master Links Any Any motorcycling store On the bike Old is as good as new in a pinch; I have a tendency to save my old master links and put them in my toolkit when I change my chains same-for-same. Drop sheet Duck MAX Strength Heavy Duty Insulating Film Window Kit Duck Amazon, Home Depot On the bike Backpacker trick: Ultralight ground sheets for sleeping are basically these, but 10x the cost. For sleeping on in a pinch, as a tool drop sheet or quick waterproof cover. Cut to size. Feeler Gauges Feeler Gauges Generic Automotive stores At home Valve adjustments Flashlight Mantis Workman's Light Mantis Amazon Both Workman's light with a magnetic base and a rotating mount. The magnetic part is useful as a 3rd hand for grabbing dropped bolts too. Fuse Puller Fuse Puller Honda Came with the bike On the bike Misc Various Zip Ties Generic Any hardware store On the bike The bulks in multiple sizes give you lots of options and are worth it. I also get the 500 lb ones in bulk. Misc Wolfy Tool Roll Wolfy https://wolfmanluggage.com/products/wolfy-tool-roll On the bike Hold tools. Recommended by SomeGuyRides. I have several tool rolls and this one is definitely the nicest. A gift to myself. Nuts, bolts and screws Generic Metric Socket Set Generic Any hardware store At home A gift from my neighbor. Apparenly came out of a Datsun. Contains all the metric stuff ones. Nuts, bolts and screws Loctite Loctite Any hardware store Both Securing bolts Nuts, bolts and screws Park Tool AWS-11 hex wrench Park Tool Walmart, bicycle supply stores On the bike Apparently you only need the 3mm, 4mm and 10mm to do the servicing on the bike. Nuts, bolts and screws Pittsburgh 9 pc Combination Wrench Set Pittsburg Harbor Freight Both $9. It contains every metric wrench SomeGuyRides used on the TAT, was affordable, and came as a set. I have no idea of whether I would recommend this yet. Nuts, bolts and screws Screwdriver Honda Came with the bike On the bike Nuts, bolts and screws VESSEL BALL GRIP 1/4" JIS Driver multibit screw driver Vessel Amazon Both P/N 220W3J1. There's a separate impact driver set I'd also buy for home but I don't have a need for that yet. Oil Automotive rag Any Anywhere Both Blue towels work best here. I have a bulk pack from Costco. This + zip ties (or rubber bands if short term) will stop things rattling. Oil Oil Funnel Cyantor Amazon On the bike Flexible funnel used for oil changes. Not strictly needed but can make life a little easier. Pliers Leatherman Squirt PS4 Leatherman Amazon On the bike Contains several basic tools & mini pliers. Have used for several years on my bicycle. Typically used for removing small bits of metal from tires. Tire inflation Air Compressor (big) Any Almost everywhere At home Tire inflation, possibly other things. Tire inflation Lezyne Co2 inflator + 2 screw Co2 cartriges Lezyne Bicycle stores On the bike The bicycle pump is fun, but the Co2 cartridge is faster. WEAR THICK GLOVES WHILE USING IT. Tire inflation Pressure gauge Generic Almost anywhere Both Pencil gauge style. Tire inflation Topeak Morph bicycle pump Topeak Amazon, Bicycle stores, REI On the bike IYKYK this pump is way better than normal hand pumps. All versions will work but the Mountain Morph is better suited to the CT125. Tire inflation Valve core remover Motion Pro Any online automotive store Both I have a Park Tool one already. Great for adding slime, airing up and down tires, subtle revenge on a driver that stole your parking spot, etc. Tire patching Tube Patch Kit ParkTool & generic Any bicycle store Both A combination of glueless & glue patches + an extra glue tube. The glue always dries out. Tire patching Tubeless patch kit Genuine Innovations Any bicycle or automotive store Both Patching the tire itself will be good preventing future flats Tire removal MOTION PRO Bead Buddy II Motion Pro Any online motorcycle store At home I probably won't need this, but it was cheap and I wanted to see if I could make one that you can 3D print. Tire removal MOTION PRO Rim Shield II Motion Pro Any online motorcycle store At home Another "I want to try and duplicate it" but I will definitely use these. I don't like scratching rims. Tire removal MOTION PRO Spoon Tire Irons Motion Pro Any online motorcycle store Both It was a toss up between 3x spoons and the BeadPro™ Tire Bead Breaker set; this was on sale. Tire removal Rubber mallet Any hardware store At home Removing the axles
EDIT:
There are three things in my wishlist that aren't above.
EDIT 2:
- BelRay Super Clean Chain Lube 400ML Spray-On - you can get this from Amazon or Cycle Gear. Cycle gear is WAY cheaper.
- uxcell Universal 9mm Hexagonal Air Valve Adjust Wrench Quick Repair Tool for Motorcycle for valve adjustments. Apparently this makes it WAY easier.
- Spark Plug wrench - I haven't bought one yet.
I need to check to see if the above tools list will be able to swap the front sprocket -1/+1T. It was something SomeGuyRides mentioned in his review of Engineer's Pass of wishing he had done that. When I looked up the procedure I think the above toolkit lacks the deep socket required to pull the covering panel off (8mm deep socket?) that the Youtuber mentioned. I have to go to work but that's something I'd add. In addition to this, there's some deep sockets I have to double check would be covered by this list I have when doing valve adjustments at home, to make everything top-dead-center.
Something else I'm thinking about is throwing a small toothbrush in the kit. This bike has a lot of Allen head screws, and to prevent stripping the heads you should always make sure those are clean first. A toothbrush is a good on-the-road solution. I can't remember which bolts they are on my bicycle, but my bicycle has some like that.
For the garage.This is a tool set up to pack on the bike? Or for the garage? I see the flintstone car falling on its side if you tried to pack that much lol.
Who knew?This is a "if you know, you know" sort of thing. I am gonna admit, I have never once thought about carrying one of those while bikepacking, but there were a few times I wished I had one. It's either a 20 IQ thing or a 200 IQ thing to have in your bag. You either never use it, or you desperately need it.
A common practice to prevent vandalism, theft, etc. is to remove the... what would you call it - handle? from residential, industrial and sometimes remote area water outlets. Now, for an entrepreneurial thief or maybe just someone who wants a tiny bit of water to drink, you can use a 4 way water key (aka sillcock key) to turn the water back on temporarily. It's good practice to realize the water sometimes has been sitting there a long time, and as such can be contaminated. Let it flush for a bit and then fill the bottles, or be picky about which water source you activate. And as always, leave no trace. At best, the evidence that you were there should dry up fairly quickly.
Also it's 4 ways because the keys to the city aren't all the same size. This gives you the 4 most common ones.
