Stingy tool kit

[Steadynow]

I know there isn't much room under the seat... But a screwdriver and an Allen key is a bit tight isn't it?

small gripe on an awesome bike

humbug.

There is a black bag with a few more quality(!) items tucked down the side under the seat-or should be.

Dealer gave me the black bag separately, saying there wasn't room under the seat for it.

Same here.

Gave me a S1000RR T shirt too, don't think they were selling many at ?30 .

Invested in some Torkx allen keys for the basic stuff.....

My black bag of goodies has always fitted underneath, and I have the alarm in there, so there isn't much room...

I did not get one when i bought my new RR this october, they said you dont get a toolkit now, just the screwdriver and torx under the seat .
Hopefully thats the case.

 

[Mr.Dave]

Actually thinking about it, maybe i need to put some tools under there,as i have already had one breakdown due to the stop/start switch packing up. made out of a liquorice all sort it was.

I picked mine up in Sep this year and it came with the tool wallet (and I have the alarm and it all fits under the seat).

By the way, is there an easy way to remove the alarm? Can the bike just be switched on and then unplug it from the loom or does it need programming out?

The alarm can be unplugged by just disconnecting the box from the loom. the alarm box and plastic mounting tray can then be removed.

Picked my 2014 bike up in July and it came with the tool kit in the black bag, not much of a tool kit but you can actually do most simple stuff to the bike with it. By the way, the black plastic insert thingy in the kit which I couldn't find a use for to start with is actually used inserted in the plug socket tool to adjust the spring preloads without marking them.

I didn't get the alarm fitted because apart from the room it takes up under the seat it isn't Thatcham approved because it can be unplugged easily.

Thx chaps - Will look at removing it then. I assume I could then sell it on - would the new buyer need it programmed in or would they just be able to plug it in and play?

Cheers
