Hi folks, I have just purchased a new Max IV 600T. I have already learned a lot from reading the previous posts...what a great resource this site is!

I am going to be operating my ride in a variety of conditions ... high desert, mountains between 4000-9000 ft above sea level, and marshes. My question is this: what is the "collective wisdom" on minimal tools and spare parts to carry afield?
It doesn't take long to be REALLY remote in the mountains and open spaces of Oregon. I tend to be a "belt and suspenders" type but don't want to carrry a machine shop and 1:1 repacements, if you catch my drift.

I hope to learn a lot and eventually share something with this very astute group!

Regards,

Blackdog

I carry a small socket set, a phillips and flat screwdriver. I also carry a small first aid kit, a tow strap, 2 spare spark plugs, a fuel filter, and most importantly a couple of coozies to keep my drinks cold.

at least add a cell phone to the list

Thanks guys,all good input. I had everything covered but the plugs and filter! As for the cell phone, I don't leave home without it, but frequently we are in areas where there is no cell coverage! That's where the "cold ones" come in handy.

don't forget PLENTY of ice for the cold ones and a "wheeled" cooler...just in case you have to walk out...heheheheheh
