i would certainly take the little yamaha toolkit that comes with your bike also several b8es plugs maybe some richer mains if elevation looks to be drasticly different than your is do a check on the elevations,and most importantly a dry cry towel for the 4 jokers to use when they get theyre asses handed to them

oh hell i already never planned on gettin past half throttle with these 4-jokers but i was thinkin i might miss something common besides the shit thats in the stock tool-bag. any common problems (loosening nuts or bolts) i might need to take care of in the weeds? already have the crying towel thats no problem

elavation must be close cause the canadiens that come down for the ice fishing derby say they dont have to adjust. (plugs read good)

Needle nose vise grips and ZIP TIES!!!! Even on the race course I take the yamaha tool bag, needle nose vice grips, and a pile of assorted zip ties... all tucked into the camel back. You can temporarily fix just about anything with that combo.

always take zip-ties. gotta 100 of them on the rear grab bar. if you put them just were they cinch up you can cut just after the meeting point and use them again.

Something you probally really need is a plug kit and something to blow up tires with. I remember one day we were out riding and another guy had a Banshee and he got 4 holes in his tires. I dont know what we would have done with out a plug kit. So pack a plug kit!!!

sounds good and i was also wondering if anyone ever used the co2 cartridges and inflators after a flat? do they work?

[CHAD]

never used one, but they certainly look handy.

The CO2 inflators work, they aren't the greatest things in the world but 2 of them can get your tire back up if someone's lifting the tire off of the ground while you're doing it. My friend has one with a hand pump built into it. I'll have to go open up my waist pack that I have and list out what's all in it. I can handle just about anything with what's in there.

TIRE BALLS!!!

But since we can't all afford $1000 just to keep our tires inflated.. those co2 inflaters sound like a good idea. Tire Slime works well and they make a bottle small enough for one tire and it would fit in a backpack or camel back pretty easy I bet.

The only problem is... if you're using tire plugs or slime, you have to hope for a puncture not a tear. I have seen someone plug an inch long tear with about 30 plugs... but it still had a slow leak. That's where the Tire Balls come in handy.
