Must have tools in the kit for wrenching on a Khaos on the mountains?

[440revNL]

So I think I'll be making the switch back to a Khaos for next season from a Doo. What are the must have size wrenches and such for working on the Polaris on the hills? I already own a BRP Ski-Doo tool kit, so I'd just be adding a few tools to that kit I'm thinking. Thanks

BRP Doo kit comes with:

• Stainless steel open end / ring end wrenches; 8-10mm, 10-13mm, 12-14mm, 15-17mm, 16-19mm.
• 1/4 drive ratchet with 4" extension, hexagonal 8 - 10 - 13 -16,
• Torx 25 - 30 - 40,
• Allen 4 - 6 - 8 and Philips #2
• Long nose Vise-Grip
• Spring hook tool

I usually check mine over in the warm shop between each trip = no wrenching on the hills

For wrenches, I carry everything from 8mm - 17mm. Also carry zip ties, gorilla tape, 50’ paracord and hose clamps of various sizes

Basicly what you have already and like J270 has

Some work gloves! Or latex gloves. Pulling a trashed belt off a broken oil spewing motor made a serious ruin of my hands and some good gloves.

We had a scratcher break out on a ride a couple years ago. We weren't equipped to remove the scratcher from the rail to keep it from digging into the track. Fortunately another guy had an oversized Crescent wrench. Back to the workbench to figure out a solution. Since we carry a 3/8" ratchet, this works well. The guy that broke his used to be a Snap-On sales guy at one point so I gussied up his tool with "Snap-Off" SBG (scratcher be gone).
I second the tool roll, but having a small zippered pouch to hold loose items is helpful too.

Do you have the part number?

I'd like to recommend it to some guys who carry nothing.

I’m not sure why Caleb recommends 1/2” and 9/16” end wrenches.
Only 1/2” that I can remember are ski toes and wear bars. 13mm are good enough on the mtn.

Can’t think of a use for 9/16”.

What am I missing?

 

[law.74]

By way of reminder. Sometimes you can get away with a metric wrench on a SAE bolt or vice versa.

I use 7/16 & 11mm and 5/8 & 16mm interchangeably.
I use 13mm on 1/2” and 10mm on 3/8” in a pinch.



3/8” = 9.5mm
7/16” = 11.1mm
1/2” = 12.7mm
9/16” = 14.3mm
5/8” = 15.9mm


Polaris still using standard on these sleds is so silly.
