Regarding the sockets to carry in the 8 to 17mm range - is there any that need to be deepwell? I can’t think of a specific socket on something that is repaired on trail that needs to be deepwell ? Shock bolts but you can use a wrench on one end

I was going to say shock bolts as well it helps to have a deep well for that. What about a-arm bolts or ball joints?

I think the set of sockets I linked earlier were semi-deep. Best of both worlds. Under $20 if I recall.
I use a rail of 8-19mm semi-deeps without an issue.

Yeah well...

I just recently upgraded to the brushless version and it’s so much better. It’s also got three torque settings that make it better for not stripping bolts. But I put the brushed version in my carry kit.

I threw in the box some various bits and adapters because I think it’s strong enough to do a lot of things. It could at least be a timesaver and then I can use the regular wrench to finish tightening things up.

The new "stuby" 3/8" drive is awesome. Have you seen them? The brushless motors are great!

Yes, that’s the one I recently picked up during the Christmas sale. That’s really the one I should carry with me on the trail because it’s quite a bit stronger.

I wanted the stubby 3/8 drive version but I could not find it locally and I didn’t feel like placing an order for it. It’s quite expensive for the limited use I would give it

Ok gents look back at post 1 and let me know what I've missed. Help me out with the optional list as well as what spare parts should be taken along.

Thanks for the help. This thread already has over 1100 views. Must be valuable.

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.

Take a second to vote if you would please!


The goal of this thread is to provide a precise list of tools one would need to fix their Honda Pioneer on the trail.

I'll continue editing the list below

HERE IS THE BARE MINIMUM
This is what you should take on any significant trip.

Sockets:
Personal preference on 1/2" or 3/8" drive. Be sure to take a couple different extensions and adapters as well.
8mm
10mm body bolts, door hinges
12mm
14mm regular
14mm spark plug socket
17mm Tie rod ends, A arms, shocks
19mm Steering stem/ honda lug nuts, a arm
21mm Tapered lugs
22mm Standard lugs
30mm Axle nut


Wrenches:
8,10,12,14,17,19 Combination wrenches or ratchet wrenches

1 1/4" open end wrench or crows foot for inner tie rod end.

Allen/HEX:
5mm for air box and body panels

Nut drivers:
1/4", 5/16" (6mm/8mm)

Encouraged Items:
Knipex Pliar wrench -parallel jaw plies
Knipex Cobra pliers
Needle nose pliers
Standard Pliers
Large and small pair of vise grips
Hammer
12v Electric impact
JIS #3 cross bit for bed bolts
Tire plugs
CO2 kit
Zip ties
Tape
Tie rod
Locktite
Knife
fuses



Optional items:
Spare tire
Spare Axle
Cotter keys
Ball Joint
Cotter keys
A-arm bolt
I would add a lighter
I would also add a bilge pump or 12 pressure washer to the mix. I’ve seen the radiators need to be washed out more than the need for a spare tire!
