Hey y'all,
I'm heading off on a 3 month bender across the US with my man (he's riding a Ducati Hyperstrada).
Three questions:
I'm bringing what's included in the NC700S kit, which is:
● Spark plug wrench
● 8 × 12 mm, 10 × 14 mm, 12 × 14 mm Open end wrenches
● Standard/Phillips screwdriver and Screwdriver grip (definitely bringing a better one, it has a terrible grip)
● Extension bar
● 5 mm Hex wrench
● 22 mm and 27 mm Box end wrench
● Fuse puller
Added to that, Motion Pro 08-0048 chain alignment gauge, everything to clean the chain (cleaner, lubricant, gloves, rags), zip ties, duct tape, clutch wire, a reliable tire pressure gauge and a tire repair kit.
And hopefully, a torque wrench. We're newbies to maintenance, so a bit worried about relying on "feel" for tightening.
Sorry if someone already posted something relating to this!
Thanks for your input! We're 11 days away from departure!!!
I'm heading off on a 3 month bender across the US with my man (he's riding a Ducati Hyperstrada).
Three questions:
- We're looking for a torque wrench that can work for both our wheels, so that has a range between 15 lbs*ft (21 N*M) and 72 lbs*ft (98 N*M), any suggestions?
- What would you bring, tool wise?
- Visor cleaner, yea or nea? We want to avoid fogging as it has been an issue (we both have full face helmets).
