Tool Kit

Alot of time went into researching a tool kit for the F800GS and I still have probably missed something. The key, I hear, is once you have assembled the kit, fix the bike with only the tools in that kit before you go on any major trip. That will tell you whether you have chosen the right tools. Weight is another factor, so try to get mutli-functional tools.

Many hours on the internet blogs like ADV Rider as well as talking to Ian at Wolf BMW, Les at Dual Sport Plus and anyone that would listen to my questions. Since Rob's bike is a 1150GS he will need a different tool kit configuration. That's the major downside to having two different bikes on a trip like this, you can't share tools or even split up the tool kit for weight distribution.
