I’ve got the MP trail kit and it’s ok but KTMs don’t need a big assortment of spanners anyway...can’t remember exactly what’s in the tool kit..6,8,10,12 maybe 13mm a few torx bits..and obviously a wheel but spanner...from memory the MP trail tool doesn’t have torx bits...phil_h wrote:Are the Motion Pro compact tool kits worth it ? They do look well thought out.prg4967 wrote: ↑Sat May 09, 2020 9:27 am You’ll want a basic tool kit, spare levers, handguards will save your levers but carry a clutch lever at least, the KTM stock plastic bash plate is fine unless your doing a lot of rocky stuff, Spare tubes is a must unless running mousses and know how to change a tube..but the best mod if your into spending a bit of money is get the suspension set up for your weight (in riding gear) ... and the spend the rest of the money you have on petrol !
I'm sold on the lever - I bent my front brake lever downwards rolling my big gs upside down. I'd rather have both so I can get down a hill safely if I break one ! I dont like getting stranded !
Good to have an opinion on the std bash plate - I've got a thicker alloy one on my big gs, but they are a touch heavier of course. I did a bit of rock stuff when I was younger and would rather not go mad now They hurt a lot more when you get it wrong and youre old.
Simon P spits at metal bash plates on enduros - but why is plastic better ?
I forgot about tubes - is carrying 1 big enough for the front actually ok ? (Years of experience with puncture kits and tyre levers ) What are the best tyre levers ? Motion Pro with a ring end look nice, but they are not cheap !
I'll be on the bottom of the scale for the std suspension, and I've read that they are softish as std (heavy testers ?) so I'm hoping that it'll be fine once I click it about a bit. (Years of playing with full-sus mtbs)
The alloy bash plate is useful if you going over the big stuff as it slides easier on contact, although if your not going to be doing that stick with the plastic one, they are more durable that you think, and cuts down on the engine noise somehow...
If your going full levers throw in a gear lever too..you ain’t going anywhere if you can’t change gear, these can be zip ties in the air box...
Moron pro tyre levers are great..a couple of different sizes for the wheel nuts and a third if your feeling flash for the rim lock..
A nice tail pack to keep the tools & tube(s) in, Enduristan make some good waterproof kit
A front tube is fine..that’ll do both..
Still think about servicing your suspension...unless it’s been done recently...
