Sled Tools

Among other things I carry a complete tool set with which I can do any repair I am capable of. On a trip or or the trail, these tools do more on other peoples sleds than mine.

I also carry a branch saw, a Super Siphon, a water ski tow rope (pre-set for ski tips), magnetic pickup, a spare bulb, a spare speedo bearing, Loc-Tite, JB Weld, various zip ties, torch lighter, Yamaha #3 phillips body screws, Dzus fasteners and washers - the list goes on.

My friends laugh about it all until I am there helping them or someone else on the trail.

If you come on my trip and have a 2 stroke you better be carrying oil, ISO, spare pull cord, and spare exhaust springs.

I also carry booster cables. I've never neeeded them but tehy might save me one day. I have them attached to my spare belt so they dont take up any storage room either.

A leatherman, duct tape, vice grip, magnet, and thats about it. Quit carrying the towstrap since all my buddies converted to Yammies!!

Sad to say, but 2011 yammi is only sled I ever towed in 30 years of riding up north.

I have a siphon hose,cable jumpers, Highlift Snow Mobile Jack,Warn XT25 portable winch, tow strap. Stock tool kit only. I figure if it's broke down I probably can't or won't fix it out there. But I suspose I should carry the normal 10mm 12mm etc. wrenches used for wheels,etc..

Cool Idea. I have mine in a nose bag with the siphon and toe rope. Standard tools that came with it and a few extra wrenches. I'm going to look at this with interest though.
