I was curious about how people are carrying tools on their MT10. I got rid of the exhaust vale assembly but there's still virtually no room for much of anything under the seat. My last bike was an FJ 09 Tracer and I could squeeze everything I wanted under that seat. I'm stumped but I know there's always some creative people out there that figure out solutions to stuff like this. Pictures would be great.

Carry Cruz toolkit, tire repair kit, compressor in my Givi 15l tank bag. Really no place on the bike for anything of use to be stored.

I actually have one of those bags. I was looking for something small to hold the few tools i keep under seat on all the other bikes I've had. |

I carry my tools in a Kriega 10L bag mounted on a SW Motech aluminum rack, I keep a Stop n Go plug kit with mini compressor, a 1/4 Drive metric socket set, some slime rope plugs, a tool kit from an 05 GSXR 750 that has enough to get me by, a few zip ties, a roll of electrical tape, and a small can of plexus with a micro fiber rag to clean my shield, I also have a small SW Motech city tank lock ring bag(5-9l), I can carry a few extras in there if need be. I have been fortunate in that I’ve never had to repair my own tires but did use the Stop n Go on my coworkers front tire, so it works well, he rode the plug for a whole season, I told him he should replace his tire but he is a cheapskate, I might ride a rear plug but not a front one.

That’s a great setup! Agreed on the plug—had one in the rear of my MT with 50 miles on the clock until I replaced the rear tire at a couple thousand. The front would sketch me out. |

Personally i avoid having tools (or anything hard/pointy) attached to my body when i ride, as these could poke a hole in me if i have a crash. I have my tools in a SW-motech tankbag that goes with me wherever i go. I put all my loose things there, except for my phone and identifications, ehich are always in my pockets for emergency puropuses/identifying me if im unconcious.

None so far luckily, i was concious when i had a crash a few years back, but it makes you think what would happen if i wasnt. Much rather that the ambulance/hospital can contact my emergency contacts at once to get to know my blood type and allergies (or rather the fact that i dont have any) along with my family knowing where i am and what has happened than wasting precios O- blood which could be used for someone else. Worst case scenario it saves a lot of time for the emergency response team to identify my body if something would go that badly (knock on wood). Also i have my organs for donation in my testimony instead of on a card (paranoia that some corrupt doctor might give me sloppier treatment bcause he has someone who could use my organs), so my emergency contacts could by chance inform them of this and pull out my testimony before my organs go bad. |

I don't carry anything on me. Phone and wallet go on a side pocket on my tailbag. Might take a minute longer to find, but the phone would be more likely to be operational (not broken) than on myself IMO. Have my wife as 'WIFE' on the phone, to make it easier to find her, if needed. Getting back to the subject, I don't have any special tools other than what the bike comes with, plus some duct tape, and a Wave multi-tool, to be able to remove nails and such from the tires (if needed). And of course a flat tire repair kit (Stop'nGo), and CO2 inflation kit (plus a manual bicycle pump). Oh, and a code reader and adapter too. That's it. I'd like to have a few more useful tools, but I'm too lazy to look for a special pouch, and tool by tool, so haven't done it. Wish Cruz Tools, or a similar company, did tool kits for specific bikes, like ours, but that's wishful thinking  . |

Kinda reminds me when someone asks why one would carry a gun. I’ll probably never need it—but if I do—I’ll need it 100%. I’d rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. |

Replied on the UK post of the same but for everyone else, here's my thoughts. In my 26 years riding the only that's caused me to get stuck at the road side has been punctures. So for me I always carry a tyre plugging kit and a stash of CO² cannisters to get me going again. Aside of that I have a multitool and set of Allen keys all stowed under the seat for minor fixes like loose nuts etc.   |

It looks like the band that holds down the exup valve motor |

Good spot. It is. I've wired open my EXUP and as I make the eliminators/servo buddies, fitted one to remove the motor. That void is now filled with CO² cannisters and the rubber band, well you've seen that.  |

I have the same Stop'nGo flat tire kit under my seat, but had to remove the CO2 canisters for the seat to latch (they're all safely scattered under the seat  ). The strap for the seat's storage space should be inside the large toolbag where the 2 rear shock spanners are. It looks just like the battery strap, so some folks might confuse it for a replacement... but it's intended for the seat storage. If not included, just order one; it should be cheap. Hope this helps. |
