Linhai Tool Kit By roakaun (Read 498 times)

[roakaun]

Alright, Class... for todays 'Show and Tell', we have our little Linhai/Diamo Turista 260.  A nice, shiny zoom-zoom.
what is MISSING, however, is it's Tool Kit.  This makes us a Sad Panda.
The Question(s) I present to the class is this:
> part one: what does this 'tool kit' consist of? Describe items. (ie, 10mm socket, 1/4" drive ratchet, spark plug socket, bottle of Extra Strength aspirin, 5 'ace of spade' cards for louder street presence, ect, ect)
> part two: does anyone in class have one for Sale?  Or, barring that, know where one might purchase one? List references.
Spelling will not be graded, Professors have Right of Way, and use extra pages as necessary.

PS: and no, I do not wish to install a Tow Ball to pull an add on trailer to carry my Tool Crib.  As much as I wish to.

It has a spark plug tool, interchangeable screw driver, pliers, Mine had a fuse puller, maybe 1 or 2 other items and a plastic roll up container. The only thing I use is the spark plug tool. I carry a small tool bag under the saddle with a few of the tools I feel I need. I also carry a spare cdi and coil just in case. You aint missing any thing not having it.

Different scoot, but the kit that came with my Roketa, the spark plug "socket" was useless, no good way to turn it once it was way down inside the engine stuff. Had to buy a real 3/8" drive socket and extension. Reversible Phillips/flat screwdriver was also cheap cr@p, replaced with a better one, ditto for the open end wrench. In other words, you're probably better off going to Ace or somewhere and building yourself a kit of the most obvious stuff from scratch, with tools of reasonable quality.

Yah, y'all are prolly right with the 'make your own kit' idea. All in all, I think I can strip this puppy down with a #2 Phillips, a flathead, 1/4 inch ratchet with a, what.. 7mm, 10mm, and 12mm sockets. Most of the rest of the body snaps together like a level One Testers airplane model.
Add some pliers, an adjustable wrench (do they make those in metric? things like that bother me late at night), an LED light, and perhaps a multitool, and that'd be a good emergency kit.
Ooh, oh.. and some flares... and a spare blanket... mebbie a spare tire (it's only got a 12 on it). and a Trailer to put it all on! No... wait.. back to the 'no tow ball' thing. darn.
The flares could be fun, tho... Advanced Auto had some mini ones on sale...

I think you could go with a tire patch kit + small air pump instead of a spare tire. Install a Battery Tender into it so you can plug it in and charge the battery should that get drained. Umm... not sure what else you might want in there.

"Adjustable" = "metric," I should think ....

I giggled a bit too. Like a left handed screwdriver.

Seriously, though, my adjustable wrench has metric markings etched on one side and standard on the other, so they do make them.

In my homemade kit, i've got 7,8,10,13, and 19mm sockets, one long flat screwdriver, one medium Phillips with a magnetic tip (lifesaver), a small ratcheting screwdriver with bits for adjusting carb, diagonal cutting pliers, needle nose pliers, and some zip ties.

I also carry my old belt with me, as my new one is the standard generic, not the Gates belt. Just in case.

I might contribute here that, in seeking an appropriate deep socket for the plug on my 2011 244cc Roketa, I first went out and bought a whole set of deep metric sockets, only to find that the one that fits my plug was the one they skipped over in the set. Don't remember if it was 17mm or 18mm, one of those in any case, but I had to go back out and buy a single socket in that size. Caveat emptor.

I hope you never need to buy wheels for the miscarriage.

You call them pieces of cheap things TOOL Kits that come with the Chinese scoots that is to laugh.

Oh Oh--I gotta get in on this--lol---don't forget to keep a windbreaker and plastic raincoat under the seat to protect from sudden squalls that pop up un-announced --I think you can get both in metric and sae--good luck,have more fun,happy trails,fflintstone
