I'm going bike shopping tomorrow, but I've already got my motor(SuperRat) and a few tools plus some equipment on the way. I tried to stay very basic to start with, but I still may have gotten more than necessary.
Tools:
-Pedro's ICM (Bike tool)
-10mm combination wrench
-14mm combination wrench
-Screw drivers
Equipment:
-Bike pump
-Speedometer
I also ordered an Engine Hardware Kit and a couple spark plugs from SBP preemptively as well, but that was just because for the money it wasn't worth waiting or searching through a hardware/auto parts store. Loctite and 2-Stroke oil are on my shopping list.
I've got an electric pump for my car, but I'm more than a little worried about blowing out the tire with it, and the hand pump might be worth bringing with me on longer rides. The speedometer is basically so I know how well the bike is performing once it's on the road. The bike tool just seemed clever.
Any comments? I'm sure there are a couple more things I should keep around.
I want to find something to seal my CNS Carb at the manifold because I've read a lot about air leaks being a problem. Any recommendations? I was actually thinking about hot glue, but it seemed a little simplistic. I don't want to use something like an epoxy that I'll never get out. Also, what kind of grease should I get for the clutch and sprockets?
I'll post another thread asking for advice on bikes tomorrow once I've looked at some.
