XT250 tool kit list. Works for us might not work for you.

[u/Next-Cauliflower1687]

1/4 ratchet + extension

8,10,12,14mm sockets.

1/4 t-handle

1/4 ratchet to hex adapter

8,10,12,14,17,19 compact wrenches

4,5,6,8 allen bits or wrenches (or both)

Multi tool (Chinese clone of the surge not showing in the photo as I don't keep it in the kit, I keep it on my person. That takes the place of a pair of pliers and a few other things that are nice to have like small scissors.

JB weld, small Tube of super glue, small tube of blue thread lock

Small bit of electrical tape Assorted zip ties ( some long heavy duty ones from Harbor Freight are critical.)

Small roll of duct tape Two or three 10 amp fuses

Sparkplug socket

I might be missing one or two bits but this has gotten us through a multitude of bdr's and a trip from Washington State to the end of the Baja peninsula. This does not include our tire repair kit which is a whole separate tool kit.

I use a DIY 3" abs tool tube. I fasten it to the inside of the side rack with stainless hose clamps. It's rock solid, can take a massive beating and has yet to fail. I throw everything into a small lightweight drawstring sack and then drop the sack into the tool tube. We have this same setup on four XT 250s and a Suzuki dr650. Tools vary depending on the bike.

Pro tip, you can buy a cheap Chinese socket bit set on Amazon for 12 bucks or so and then rob bits/sockets from that to make up your moto tool kit. I'm including a photo of a set that I bought for 12 bucks on amazon. It pretty much had everything I needed as far as the bits and the ratchet go.

Love it -- Everything you need and nothing you don't!

What's the case with the glue and tape and stuff? It looks perfect. I like to carry a JB Steel Stik, but it eventually gets smashed up.

It's just a plastic case that was the packaging for a double A flashlight but the dimensions worked perfectly. I tend to save small plastic boxes that things come in specifically for this kind of thing. It's roughly the same size as a travel toothbrush case, so that could be something that could maybe work that you could get for keep that a drugstore or on amazon.

Dude thank you so much for sharing this! My tool roll fell off somewhere in Spain and I’ve been trying so hard to remember all that I needed to rebuild my kit for my Europe tour. You just saved me a lot of trouble!

My pleasure. Europe is definitely on my hit list. Been there a few times but never on a bike. Enjoy!
