Must have tools to carry on a RMK?

[440revNL]

Hey, I'll be picking up my first Polaris RMK Khaos next week and I'm trying to find a good tool kit to carry when going in the mountains. When I had a Doo Summit, I always had my BRP tool kit but I sold the kit with my sled.

What tools or toolkit do you guys carry on your RMKs? I'm running the Medium Burandt Bag so smaller form factor is best.

Thanks!

I used the Burandt tool kit and the Polaris tool kit as baselines. The stuff they both have is a necessity. There are also some examples where one uses a socket and the other uses a wrench, so up to you on which you prefer.

Thankfully haven't had to use it but I always keep a TSS Bypass plug.

Everything else is just stuff you probably already had in your toolkit like duct tape and steel stik

I'm check out the Burandt tool kit. TSS bypass plug will be installed on my to start where I run the Munster finger throttle! Thanks!

Use your doo kit but add a few extra sockets to work on SAE poo bolts.

I keep a small set of 1/4” metric sockets, Allen/torx keys, zip ties, duct tape, utility knife with pliers and such. Oh and toilet paper.

Thanks folks for the info. Never owned a Poo before so I wasn't sure of the metric or SAE size nuts and bolts they have for even tightening the track.

I always carry the usually stuff in my backpack: radio, flashlight, folding saw, first aid kit, lighter, matches and fire starter, bivy bag, shovel, water, snacks, and garmin in reach.

As for the sled tunnel bag I carry: tool kit, duct tape, electrical tape, tow rope, folding saw, extra lighter, matches, and my gopro stuff.

Might be forgetting something..

Nice list

For SAE, I bring a 7/16" shorty box-end and an 1/8" allen for belt deflection, and a 3/8" socket for primary cover.

Most everything else I can think of is metric, curious where you use a 1/2" socket?
