Other than the stock tool kit that comes with our bikes, what does everyone carry on a trail ride in case of a breakdown? I just picked up a 2006 Sportsman 500HO EFI, and would like to put together a trail bag that will have the basics to get me out of a jam.

I was thinking:

Basic Wrenches
Small Air Compressor
Tow Strap
Spark Plugs
Replacement Belt?
Fix-A-Flat/ Plug Kit

What am I missing?

 

Welcome! A FIRST AID kit!!! CO2 fix a flat kit to be more specific. Look at ATV Parts, ATV Tires, Dirt Bike Parts & Motocross Gear | Rocky Mountain ATV/MC for more tool kits and info!

 

I was thinking that I forgot to add a First Aid Kit. Thanks for the link.

Your wallet with an extra $100.00 for emergency. Cell/Sat phone. Some emg food (granola bars) & fire start equipment (butane lighter), flash light.

 

I have a small set of Stanley ratchet/sockets that I got from Walmart for about $12. Enough to do a belt job if needed. I also carry a Leatherman with pliers. Carry a set of 3 jackknife style hex bits and torx bits to cover all the odd fasteners on my quad.
