KDX Tool Kit
Posted: 10:14 am Jul 05 2010
I bought my KDX 200 used and it did not come with a tool kit. The tool bag on the fender is appx. 6"x5"x2". Anyone know where to get a tool kit that will fit in the stock fender bag? Thanks.

YES. (plug/spoke wrench)Dr. Green wrote:This all I found specific to my bike http://www.cheapcycleparts.com/model_ye ... lies/35343
Just a plug wrench. Is that all the KDX 200 comes with?
Holy Crap! I took the BELL multitool http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images ... ting-goods off of my Mountain Bike, should work for some basic stuff, but will definitely get a few more things. Great list of stuff, thanks for the ideas.SS109 wrote:All you really need are basic tools. Here is a list of what I carry. I don't carry it in the rear fender mounted bag as that has other uses for me.
Long handled phillips and flat screw drivers
Tire spoons
T-handle w/sockets (8mm through 13mm; from RMATV)
8, 10, 12, and 13mm wrenches
3/8" drive ratchet with socket for rear axle nut and sparkplug
Small pair of Visegrips (genuine, not cheap knockoffs!)
CO2 inflator and two cartridges
Patch kit
All carried in a Tusk front fender bag
The only tool I have used while out riding has been the flat screwdriver and that was only for suspension adjustment. I truly love the reliability of the mighty KDX!
That's a good point that I hadn't thought about. Thanks.gregp wrote:You probably do not want to stuff too many tools in that fender pack. They can bounce around and eventually rip the bag. I just keep a spare plug (in a case) and the stock plug wrench in there, banded together and wrapped up loosely in rags to keep them from moving around.
Thanks. Sure is a pretty pathetic "Tool Kit", but maybe Kawasaki has as much confidence in the KDX's reliability as many here have said. I would be lying if I said that wasn't one of the reasons I went with the KDX, a reliable 2-Stroke. For my purpose so far, I couldn't ask for a better bike. Weekend before last I went with a friend to the Sam Houston National Forrest to trail ride. Man what a blast! 20 miles of wooded whoops, sand, hard packed, soft packed, clay and fallen trees. It was awesome! Can't wait to go back.barryadam wrote:YES. (plug/spoke wrench)Dr. Green wrote:This all I found specific to my bike http://www.cheapcycleparts.com/model_ye ... lies/35343

Same here. I absolutely love the reliability of the KDX. The only reason I carry so many tools is that I ride by myself 99% of the time, in the middle of nowhere, and my bike is my ride to and from the riding area!Dr. Green wrote:I would be lying if I said that wasn't one of the reasons I went with the KDX, a reliable 2-Stroke.
