While a motorbike is as much a means of getting from A to B as any other mode of transport, we tend to have a more personal and emotional relationship with our two-wheeled bikes than we do with others in our garage. As a result, many motorcyclists tend to do their own maintenance and repairs on their bikes. Also, unlike cars with space-constrained engine compartments, motorbikes have easy access to most of their systems and components, making them very conducive to DIY maintenance and labour.
The toolbox can be a real lifesaver if you have a breakdown on the side of the road and the kit can provide the ability to get it up and running again. However, with most production motorbikes having extremely limited storage space, it can be tricky to pick a toolbox that is robust enough to solve most common mechanical problems, yet compact enough for motorbike travel. With this in mind, we've compiled this list of the best motorbike toolkits on the market today, in which we delve into our selection of the latest and greatest options, as well as things to look out for when shopping and tips on how to piece together your own mobile motorbike kit from scratch.
Whether you're experienced with bikes, budgets, or spanners, there are some common elements to keep an eye on when shopping for a motorbike kit. Below, we'll talk about some of the more important factors to consider when you're in the market for a tool.
Overall quality. For the inexperienced, reading the specifications and description of a tool kit can feel like trying to decipher a foreign language, although even the most novice spanner can gain a basic understanding of the quality of a tool kit by asking some of the following questions What materials and construction techniques are used to build them? Are the moving parts of the tools sealed and/or guided by ball bearings? Does the manufacturer offer any kind of guarantee for these tools?
Function. Another very important aspect to consider when purchasing a tool kit is the overall functionality and utility offered by each tool kit. This means thoroughly examining the number of tools included in a particular kit and the number of features of said tools.
Overall value. This area is more or less determined by the functionality and utility of the toolkit in combination with its price and quality. When it comes to toolkits, there is a wide range of value and quality, with some toolkits being much more cost effective than others. For more accurate instruments or diagnostic equipment we would not recommend trying to go down the budget route, however, for basic hand tools etc. there is nothing wrong with using a more affordable kit.
