Now into picture two of our trail riding toolkit , and first off are the ubiquitous cable ties . These are useful in so many instances it ’ s impossible to name them all , but trail riding runs on cable ties and gaffer tape , so get some .
Below this we have spare levers , both brake and clutch , and a spare gear lever . If you run bark busters , lever breaks are relatively rare , but can still happen , so taking spares is smart . Gear levers are always vulnerable , so a spare or old one is worth packing . The two orange items are from the KTM toolkit , a set of simple pliers and a T-bar that holds the KTM sockets , both essential and both useful even if you don ’ t ride a Katoosh .
OK , on the left we have a spare throttle cable , as you are not going anywhere without one of these , and below that is emery paper for plug cleaning . Completing the picture is a wide elastic band , swiped from the local swimming pool and a small set of Allen keys . Job done .
