P1000 Real Tools Required

[Cuoutdoors]

Updated 3/1/19

The goal of this thread is to create a list of tools that are essential for completing trail side repairs on a Honda Pioneer 1000. The 700 and 500 are likely similar. The idea is that if a person is going out on a significant riding trip they need at least a bare minimum set of tools to be able to work on their pioneer should a need arise. This goal has evolved to the creation of additional lists of items/parts that could be added should one choose to do so.


Original post:
I'm curious if anyone has put together a list, or started a list of the actual tools needed for the pioneer. For the sake of a trail kit. Granted you may need tools for other machines out there but I'm thinking if im on a long trip and want to save weight and space what do i need specifically for the Pioneer 1000. For instance I dont want to carry around a 13,16,18 mm socket if there's no part that requires it.

I'm curious if anyone has put together a list, or started a list of the actual tools needed for the pioneer. For the sake of a trail kit. Granted you may need tools for other machines out there but I'm thinking if im on a long trip and want to save weight and space what do i need specifically for the Pioneer 1000. For instance I know I need 10 and 12mm, also the steering stem nut is a 19mm. Is there anything thats 14,15,16 or 17mm? What tools are needed on the ball joint?

So what size sockets/wrenches would you need:
10mm
12mm
14mm
19mm

Allen:
5mm for air box?




Is it worth building a specific kit or just throw the whole set in and carry on? Just some thoughts.

Need or rather a 21mm socket for the special taper lug nuts and maybe a 22mm for standard.
A 30mm for axle nut.
1 1/4” for tie rod inside piece - crowsfoot works best

@Neohio what was that screwdriver bit?

New Years resolution, calm my butt down while ridding and stay close to you and @GlockMeister

I try real hard to prepare mechanically for every ride. I can see tie rods and flats. I don't have a really hard core modified buggy, so that's about I what expect. Hey you pull a Smitty in the grader? HA!

@Cuoutdoors I don’t know if you want to keep editing your first post to add items that others identify. I am glad you started this as we have a lot of discussion on everything else that you might need to carry

 

[JTW]

So.. I have a set of metric wrenches, metric 1/2 sockets set, pilers-screw-drivers-side cutters- and all the sort of tool, 18”x1/2” breaker bar, Allen wrenches, 1/4” impact. And a 30mm socket. Then I have stuff to do boot bands, odd and end wiring stuff, zip ties and random stuff.

yes I'll try to keep it updated at the top.

A decent socket set with Allen keys/torque ends. 2 pairs of channel locs, pliers, a 4 in 1 screwdriver hammer and pry bar. Zip ties, and assorted radiator clamps will pretty much let you fix anything that you could on the trail anyway.

 

[Cuoutdoors]

Need to know sizes for A arm bolts, shock bolts, ball joints, Allen bolts on shields around motor....

looking for actual sizes. What size allen bolts are actually on the pioneer. Theres not that many different socket and allen sizes needed. Just trying to identify more precisely.

From JP a while back...

Kinda confused? For trail side repairs? 10mm through 30mm bout covers every thing on sockets and wrenches. Allen's seems like a set of allen's with 7mm being the middle of the set is good, but gosh this is a shop! To answer your question 12,14,17 mm

 

[snuffnwhisky]

6 - 10mm cause them b****es disappear.

 

[CumminsPusher]

6 - 10mm cause them b****es disappear.

So do those damn 5mm Allen bits.

 

[JTW]

So does beer in the cooler!

8/10/12/14/17/19/30mm sockets are needed. Carry a combo wrench in each of the same sizes. Double box end wrenches will cut some weight if you can get them in matched sizes.
8mm x 10mm wrench
12mm x 14mm wrench
17mm x 19mm wrench
21/22mm sockets for aftermarket nuts may not really be needed. Most of the special keys have a 19/21mm hex attached.

If weight is a concern, consider a 19/21mm flip socket like this. Make sure to pack the extension. This should cover a 19mm bolt on your machine as well.
Flip Socket

Hex bits.
I have really only come across 5mm that I can think of. If you start adding aftermarket stuff, it is a good idea to keep some 3-6mm on hand. I keep a Wera set my glove box that handles most of the add-on stuff.
I have 2 full sets of hex bits in my machine.
A set of stubby hex sockets(3-10mm), and a set of long sockets for getting into the airbox and other areas a long reach is needed.
Long Hex bits.
Long Hex Bit Socket Set
Stubby/Short hex bits.
Short/Stubby Hex Socket Set

Cross headed fasteners.
Do not use your regular Phillips screwdrivers on these. You will strip them and frustrate yourself! The Japanese use their own style cross headed fastener. They were at one point referred to as JIS #1,#2,#3 etc.
I believe they are now referred to as "Plus". Most of the bed screws are a #3.

You might want to invest in a hand impact driver and some specialized bits.
Vessel Hand Impact Set
If you have an impact driver, you can purchase just the bits.
Impact Bits
If that is still of little interest to you. Check out this screwdriver. It has a built in mechanism to twist the fastener when hit with a hammer.
Impacting Screwdriver
If you end up getting a hand impact screwdriver, you will need a hammer with some heft to it.
A 4lb Engineer hammer is the perfect companion.
Engineer Hammer (4lb)
A deadblow hammer will complement your tool kit as well. Sometime you need to be a little more delicate and don't want to damage or dent parts.
Deadblow Hammer (1lb)
After watching @JTW change an axle trail side, which really wasn't bad. We had to swap the clip from the end of the axle. we were using leathermans and other knives trying to get it done. Throw a set of o-ring picks in your toolkit.
O-Ring Pick Set
You really only need the 45 pic, it is the most useful. Shove an eraser on the end to protect the point.

Pliers.
This is a big spend. But I promise, once you own a pair, and start using them, they will multiply. These are the handiest pliers made.
@Kilo427 may be willing to vouch for these as well.
Knipex Plier Wrench (Parallel Jaw Pliers)
A decent channelock style is great to have as well.
Knipex Cobra Pliers
Keep a Leatherman or Gerber in your pocket and your pliers are covered.

Plastic Rivets
Most people use a flat head screwdriver to pop these. There are actual tools that will help you keep the re-usable.

Spark Plugs Socket
14mm Spark Plug Socket

Here is a picture of a 14mm on the left, and 9/16" on the right.
The sizes are close enough to swap in a pinch. But 14mm definitely fits better.

As I prep my stuff for Mulberry in a few weeks. I will see what else I can add to the list. I'll send some pictures as well.

Attached is a PDF of the torque values of the 1000. It doesn't list exactly the head size, but we can populate it as we go.

I also have to carry a 3/4 for my lug key for the spline lugs.
