Welcome to MOTOTREK! i'm Dusty Wessels i'm the owner of West38 Moto. i lead tours all
over the southwest and in Baja i carry tools and recovery gear for not just my bike but for
multiple different bikes I've got my Mosko Pinner tool roll this is my simple quick go-to tool roll
mostly what I'm using in here are allens and torx i don't like some of the smaller tools hand tools
or things you attach to tighten something up i like having a full socket wrench and
different extensions this allows me to get in and around different areas of the bike also in here
a pair of pliers adjustable wrench
and multiple metric sockets and adapters that's the quick and easy tool roll
now i've got the Mosko fatty tool roll this has got a little more tools in it so first of all
motion pro bead breakers and spoons these are smaller the reason why i carry these
is because i want all of my stuff to fit in a Mosko 8 liter tail bag all of my
tools that i get to definitely not getting as much leverage if you get the longer ones
but these have worked out for me really well opened in wrenches all metric sizes
larger sockets not fixing stuff that's on my bike all the time
but removing axles off of larger adventure bikes we've got to have some big sockets
plug kit for tubeless tires i like using these type of plugs they seem to work out better
i haven't had one fail or fall out other miscellaneous items safety wire hose clamp
thread locker and in this pocket i have some extra valve cores and a stem puller
you know what i don't carry in my tool kit my ridge wallet i've been carrying a wallet in my
front pocket since i was 16 years old thank you ridge wallets for designing an awesome rugged
tough wallet it's the slimmest wallet i've ever had in my front pocket the ridge wallet is rfid
blocking and comes with a lifetime warranty i like using the strap to hold my cash but
it comes with a clip too thanks to the ridge for sponsoring this video i also carry a bolt pack now
i suggest you get one of these you can pick them up at your local motocross store or local dealer
lots of different sizes of metric bolts in here so we were out on a trail and
somebody had fallen and bent their shift lever just a bit and of course me thinking oh i've
bent plenty of these back this will be just fine i go to bend it back and i break the tip
off so now there's no shifter 10 millimeters is the size of the hole that's in there
so what we did was we took this we put it in as far as we needed to go which is about right there
and then i took a bar stuck this in the frame part of the motorcycle right around where the
rear racks are and bent it screwed it right back in it worked as a shift lever for about 3000 miles
essential item for everybody to carry motorcycle pump i've got a cheap one i've used better ones in
the past but i was in a rush and they didn't have them in stock so i just got a cheap one
from a motocross store it's got the gauge on it plugs in to the sae plug directly to the battery
on the bike the next item in my opinion is very essential even if you ride a motorcycle that has
tubeless tires tubes 18 inch because it'll fit in a 17 inch 21 inch because it'll fit in a 19 inch
again guiding tours multiple bikes i can use those for another motorcycle here's the thing
i've had this happen to me on the trail i've been riding too fast i hit an embedded rock
too hard and it dented my front rim i've seen a lot of videos where somebody's standing there
with a hammer pounding out the rim to try to get the bead to seat i'm thinking well i would just
carry a tube install a tube in there that way i don't worry about the bead to seat so multiple
reasons for carrying tubes i do have a tube patch kit in my tool kit it's in the bag with the extra
valve course also anytime i'm doing work on my tires or wheels on the side of the road if i'm
patching them if i'm installing a tube i lay down my trail master adventure mat so everything i've
just showed you i carry on the bike all the time so instead of carrying extra fuel i don't need
to i've got a gs adventure 7.9 gallons i carry an empty vessel what i do if we need extra fuel
this is not the old siphoning tube where you're going to get a mouthful of gas
slip this in pump it gravity feed it into your empty vessel pour it into your motorcycle
next thing i carry is extra oil 1200 and 1250 and 1150 and 1100 gs's have exposed cylinders
i have repaired many holes in the cylinder or even a crank case on the flat bike this is
epoxy stick from gorilla glue i've used this i've used jb weld there's
multiple things you can use definitely a must on the trail see we got in here
tripod for my phone to take pictures which i don't do enough of
gum eye drops business cards extra ear plugs some cliff bars batteries for my old school 20 year old
headlamp and my favorite some charms for me to remember my wife while i'm on my travels
i don't need this chain toolkit for my bike but i carry it to take care of all my tour clients
if we have a link go out on a chain i carry master links and i can replace either a 520 525
most modern chains now a couple other things i carry pretty essential items zip ties zip ties
can fix just about anything you lose some bolts out of your windshield put some zip ties on them
extra straps you know when you're heading to camp you just got gas you got some food
and you want some cold beer strap it on the back of the seat next up battery jumper i've
used this multiple times on tours you never know when you're just going to leave your ignition on
i like the compact design of this one it'll easily jump a motorcycle from dead next up
simple first aid kit you can get anywhere mostly for cuts and bruises but i added a signal mirror
and an emergency blanket to mine next up is a little more of an in-depth first aid kit
my wife is an er nurse for 20 years and she packed this for me i've got sam splints sutures staples
a lot more stuff to handle bigger injuries finally is my five to one pulley system rescue
kit from green chile adventure gear if you're gonna ride a 500 plus pound
adventure motorcycle off-road you need to have a recovery kit or someone in your group does
basically how this works is you anchor it at both ends one anchors on the bike one anchors on a
tree or a log or a rock or a really strong person three or four other people are pulling the strap
to inch the bike up the hill the bike is being held up by a couple other people down the hill
we've had to use this a couple of times comes in really handy all the gear i've talked about here
has served me well for the last 11 years guiding multiple off-road adventure tours
