XT600Z 3AJ Model... Spanner sizes...

I leave to go on the 10th March... I'm in the stage of packing and unpacking... I'm used to travelling light.. but all these tools are weighing me down.. I'm looking to loose as many of the spanners as I can... Can anyone tell me/does anyone know, a definite list of all the nut/bolt sizes on the Tenere? That way I can chuck those I dont need back in the tool box at home!!!

Thumbs up

Hi, I took 8,10,12,13,14,17,19,21 and a big socket for the front sprocket (can't remember if it's 30,32 0r 36). I bought a set of short spanners, ring at one end and normal at the other.They are approximately half to a third the length of normal spanners but you can of course hook one inside the other if you need a longer spanner.
Other things I did where bought a nice multi screwdriver with all the heads I needed, bought a set of Motion-Pro aluminium tyre levers (you wouldn't believe how little they weigh and how strong they are). The levers also have spanners on one end for the wheel nuts and you can buy an attachment that makes it into a ratchet thats got no ratchet (no sure if I understand that either!). Also bought a tiny C spanner to fit on the "ratchet".

Levers- Motion Pro - T-6 Combo Lever

Adapter for levers- Motion Pro - 3/8" Drive Adapters For T-6 Combo Lever

Hope this helps.... Fish.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
