I'm flying down to get the bike on the weekend and riding it home (1,200km) over monday and tuesday. I'm sure it will be fine but is there any tools I shold make sure I have with me for simple fixes that may come up?

Many photos will pop up next week once I have the bike!

 

Make sure you check the Oil, Water, Fluids and Tires before you bring the bike back.


When I pick my bike up, they had put a new battery in it, but it had a faulty regulator, but we didn’t know it.
I rode the bike home but next morning, I went to start it and I quickly wound the battery flat. (Not used to starting it).
If I had a long ride back (instead of 30k’s), I would be on the side of the road.

So I guess my lesson is, “If buying a car or bike and the battery had just been replaced, the charging unit is not proven”.


You will love the ride back.

 

a philips screwdriver, a 10 mm wrench, and a 5mm allen key, those are the BARE essentials.. i usually have those under my seat
