RIDERTOOLKIT

Austria

KTM

The stock KTM kit is genuinely good: 8/10/12/13/14 mm wrenches, 6/8 mm and 13 mm sockets, 5 mm hex, Torx T25/T30/T40/T45 and a screwdriver. 8 and 10 mm alone strip most of the bike.

Before you pack

  • — Keep the OEM kit and add a T-handle, pliers and levers — that is exactly what factory enduro riders carry.
  • — The front and rear wheel-nut tools supplied with the bike are worth keeping; aftermarket kits rarely match those sizes.
  • — Tube-type with rim locks: bring short levers, a rear tube and a 12/13 mm rim-lock wrench.

Always added for this brand

  • T-handle (8 mm or 8/10 combo)

    Fastest tool in the kit for the bolts you actually touch trailside: bodywork, subframe, skid plate, bar clamps.

  • Torx bit set — T25, T30, T40, T45

    European bikes (and Harley's T27) use Torx everywhere from bodywork to brake discs; a hex key will chew the head.

  • Spare clutch and brake lever

    The first thing to snap in a tip-over, and the one break that genuinely ends the ride. World-champion enduro riders carry both in a bum bag.

  • Spare gear shift lever

    A bent shifter can sometimes be straightened; a snapped one cannot, and you'll be stuck in one gear.
