Royal Enfield
Metric and largely spanner-based, which suits roadside work. Himalayan rear axle torque is high — a short flimsy wrench will not break it loose.

Before you pack
- — Tube-type spoked wheels across most of the range: tubes, levers and patches, never a plug kit alone.
- — Himalayan 450 needs a heavy-duty axle wrench — the OEM item is not up to the factory torque spec.
- — Simple, very field-serviceable engines, but fasteners work loose: threadlocker and spare bolts belong in the kit.
Always added for this brand
Spoke wrench
One loose spoke turns into a buckled wheel over a few hundred kilometres of piste. Check and re-tension on the road.
Spare nuts, bolts and washers (your bike's common sizes)
Bikes shed fasteners constantly. Walk around your bike and duplicate the M6/M8 bolts you see most.
Threadlocker (small blue tube)
Vibration is what actually loosens your bike apart. Blue on anything you refit trailside.
