Beta Rev 3 tool kit?

Featured Replies

Does anyone have a list of tools needed for field maintenance of the Rev 3?  I need to put together a small portable kit in case if problems when riding.

Some joker will tell you that, with a Rev 3, you will need to carry tools to remove the flywheel in order to fit the spare stator you should be carrying.  Notwithstanding that, it depends on the event and the distance involved.

Most folk carry nothing as, sadly, trials has deteriorated to the point where at a great many events it is feasible to walk back to the start to get what you need in the fairly unlikely event these days that something goes wrong - given a modicum of pre-event preparation.

However, you need to be able to change a spark plug, fix a puncture, replace a broken handlebar lever (and have a spare pin that goes through the rubber boot at the master cylinder),  replace a broken cable, fit a chain link, bodge up a broken mudguard with cable ties, tighten loose handlebars ?, perhaps a spare air filter in the event of a drowning, replace brake pads if the friction material detaches, drain the floatbbowl/clean jets and find the kickstart lever after it falls off.  I carry spare handlebars in the car but haven't seen a broken pair in years.

Those are the most likely (and some less likely) scenarios but you can balance the tools carried by judging how far you could ride the bike without a brake or with a flat tyre etc at any given event.

Others will no doubt cover what I have missed.
