MAKE YOUR OWN KRX 1000 TOOLKIT

Prior to our recent trip to Baja, where we tested the Kawasaki KRX 1000 for over 1100 miles down the beautiful peninsula, we went over the Kawasaki with our entire toolkit, turning wrenches. Kawasaki does not provide any tools to work on this machine, so we’ll show you how to make your own KRX 1000 toolkit. We made a list of exactly which tools are needed to repair virtually every part of the machine on the trail. Here is a list so you can make and carry your own toolkit. Also, don’t forget the wrench and bolt that it takes to change the CVT belt. You have to source your own 10mm x1.25 bolt that is at least 2 inches long to spread the CVT’s secondary sheave. Make sure you have that tool as well.
