SuzukiSavage.com - Another dumb newbie question...

Southpaw Serious Thumper Alliance Member Offline This ol' dog ain't staying on the porch! Posts: 920 Missouri Gender:	Another dumb newbie question... 01/08/07 at 17:46:18 Since my tool kit was long gone before I got it, What did the original tool kit for an '04 Savage consist of? J&P cycles has a nice aftermarket kit but it appears to be an inch or so too tall to fit the box. thanks Dan

Reply #1 - 01/08/07 at 17:54:46 Other than a useless belt tension gauge, I couldn't tell you what was in the factory tool kit. I have never looked in mine. Every time I work on the bike I am at home with my "good" tools. I carry tools in my fork bag for road emergencies.

georgekathe Ex Member	Re: Another dumb newbie question... Reply #7 - 01/08/07 at 20:44:07 think the photo looks like the original kit but can't see the belt tensioner tool in it. I know some say you don't need it but my 1996 came with it & I have used it & then checked tension using the "twist method" & found them to be identical (but my kit was missing one of the open wrenches & the mickey mouse pliers).

I like this photo.

You will never find an aftermarket toolkit as useless as this one...The only good part here is the plug socket because it is thin walled.

But to be fair, and never owning something like a BMW, all toolkits suck.

Find a good plug socket, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17 MM wrenches, a short phillips screwdriver and one of those All-in-One pliers tools. Maybe add some electrical tape and a few cable ties. Stick them in a dirty sock and there you go.

More than that and you'll just have to call Bubba for his truck. Don't waste money on a replacement.

BTW - Really good tools won't fit in that toolkit anyway. Use it for some other stash and put your tools somewhere else.

Savage Librarian Serious Thumper Offline One Hoopy Frood Posts: 524 Houston area Gender:	Re: Another dumb newbie question... Reply #13 - 01/09/07 at 09:36:24 I think I narrowed mine down to 10 and 12mm socket wrenches, a phillips and a flathead screwdriver, duct tape, an adjustable wrench, and paracord. Then again, my Savage stays pretty close to the home area, so I can usually get someone to pick me and Mr. Hyde up if it's not something simple.
