Tow rope
Jump box
Plugs
Air compressor
Tools to change belt
These were top priority with my Polaris

 

I never go ANYWHERE without my Leatherman tool. Tools are like potato chips, you can't have just one!

I always keep the following in my RZRs:

1) Tools to change the belt are a MUST on a Polaris.
2) Tire plug kit.
3) Air compressor. I also made a T-hose that connects to the compressor, and BOTH the tires at once, using clip on air chucks. That way not only can I equally fill two tires, I can also just connect one chuck to a good tire and pump it to 30psi, then when I hook the other chuck to a tire with an unseated bead, I have an extra boost of air to try and seat the bead - rather than just relying on the air compressor alone.
4) Small tool kit of 3/8" sockets, wrenches, pliers, flip flop screwdriver.
5) I keep a tow strap, mule tape, folding shovel, spare belt, and winch recovery kit that has clevis, snatch block, and tree straps in it as well.
6) Toilet paper, aka Mountain Money, or Dune Dollars
7) Water bottle, and a spare lid with a small hole drilled in it. I screw the lid with the hole in it onto the water bottle, and when I squeeze the bottle, it squirts (pressure washes) the sand or dirt out of the tire bead, so I can reseat it. Plus, you never know when you might need some water.
8) Small flashlight.

 

Thats 22 tools!:scared2:

 

Top Ten:
1. Belt change tools: Broken in belt, 1/4" drive ratchet, 6" extension, 8mm socket, Polaris clutch tool/shock spanner, Scotchbrite pad and 10mm open end wrench to remove zerk fitting in order to remove the clutch cover.
2. Tire plug kit with air pump
3. Mini battery booster
4. Flashlight
5. Scissor jack, 19mm impact socket, 1/2" drive ratchet and spare tire.
6. Glock folding shovel
7. Sven saw and small Gerber axe
8. First aid kit
9. Duct tape
10. Tow strap

I always carry a Leatherman on me. The RZR always has a fire extinguisher, a fixed blade knife, a personal locater beacon, a GPS, leather gloves and water. I also carry a complete tool kit, including spark plugs and a few other items that fit in my rear box.

 

Just bought a '16 1000XP today and it will be used mostly for wandering about, exploring and just general farting around. Would like to assemble a basic/small toolkit to use for the most common repairs. I intend to keep a spare drive belt, so would like to know which tools are required to change that, other than the obvious from looking at the outside of the case.

Given that, if you could only have 10 tools, please list them in order of priority:



1.Hi lift jack cut down to to fit. You can use as a come along as well
2.Tow straps
3.shovel
4.Axe
5.First responder basic medical kit
6.Small tool box with basic tools,belt,bailing wire,duct tape,paracord-etc.
7 . headlamp
8.gps - two way radio
9.water
10 - toilet paper

I carry way more than that. Don't forget the fire extinguisher.
Better to be prepared.
Forgot - I have ccw permit so one of my pistols would be #1 for me

 

I carry what people here have been listing. But I still carry a fire extinguisher, even after the recall work.

 

1 hammer
2 a little bigger hammer
3 yep another hammer
4 some what bigger hammer
5 a big hammer
6 bigger hammer
7 spare hammer
8 unbreakable hammer
9 claw hammer
10 BMFH
???

 

The Neanderthal tool kit.

 

You only need one big ass bag to carry a spare rzr in!

8. First AID Kit

I'm surprised that with Hunterworks being one of your resellers, you make certain to detail a Polaris belt, rather than the Gates he promotes so much on this site...

 

A seat belt cutter for when you are upside down

 

Please don't cut my expensive harnesses unless
I'm upside down and on fire!....lol

True, but I have two RZRs, and the toilet paper I don't count as a tool.

 

I don't go anywhere without this!

Re: the Belt Removal/Clutch Compression Tools ..... which of the four kits is the proper one for a 2016 570? Thanks in advance.



Product Information:

Part # Description Retail Action

20-217 Belt Removal/Clutch Compression Tool (3.6", 91.5mm roller cutout to roller cutout distance) 29.95
Add to cart

20-302 Belt Removal/Clutch Compression Tool (#20-217) with Sheave Clamp (#20-161) Kit 39.90
Add to cart

20-306 Belt Removal/Clutch Compression Tool (3.1", 78.9mm roller cutout to roller cutout distance) 34.95
Add to cart

20-307 Belt Removal/Clutch Compression Tool (#20-306) with Sheave Clamp (#20-86) Kit 44.90
Add to cart

 

We sell the belt removal tool by itself:
Part# 20-217 and 20-306

We also sell it as a kit that includes a sheave clamp for holding the primary clutch open along with the belt removal tool:
Part # 20-302 and 20-307

All new slide block style clutches found on the 2016 models will use part number 20-306 belt removal tool or 20-307 if you want the combo.

On other RZR models, it is best to inspect the clutch first and see which secondary you have.

For RZR models up to 2015 with the stock Rapid Reaction secondary clutch (no outside rollers), there are no belt removal tools available. (2009-14 standard RZR and 2015 900 trail)

For models with the TEAM Tied Secondary clutch (visible outside rollers), there are 2 potential tools. Most models up to 2015 will use the older tool (Part# 20-217, or 20-302 for the combo), but TEAM made an in-run change on this clutch in 2015 and so some 2015 models or replacement clutches purchased 2015 or later may require use of the 20-306 tool or 20-307 combo.

A quick and easy reference is whether you can see the roll pin holes that hold the roller assembly in place. If you can see them you need Part# 20-306 (or 20-307 combo) You can also measure the distance between the roller cut-outs to know for sure:

 

as far as tools, i try to ride with the guys who carry EVERYTHING lol

but for me usually -

Spare Belt
Tire patch Kit
tools to change belt
a few torx bits for any rattling parts
tow straps
water
weed
a lighter
Rain Gear

everythiing stuffed in my glove box, its pretty much a nightmare to get 1 thing out hhaha

 

Does a 100 piece tool set count as 1 tool? It's in one box that fits under my cooler. I also bring a belt removal tool from SLP. Hi-lift jack mounted to the cross member in the back and a gun in case I have to put the RZR out of its misery.

 

T25 torx bit with driver, flex shaft screw driver handle with 3/8 socket, low pressure air gauge, plug kit, tow strap, and jumper box.

 

I have a polaris! I take a cooler and my fishing pole.

 

Great thread!

 

1. Ipod
2. Beer
3. the tool kit that came with it

I dont carry toilet paper. I'll take a crap before i leave the house and if Mexican food tries to work its way out, ill just use a sock

 

My riding buddies are all techs of some sort. I am the only one with a winch, so I hook onto their cages anytime tire work needs to be done. Other than that I carry a belt, tool kit, and a .45. They can fix stuff in 1/2 the time as I. Great group to ride with!

 

I carry way too much stuff to list here, as I ride a lot by my self. But some things that come to mind that haven't made the lists above yet that I carry: Spare fuses, big flat blade screw driver or pry bar to remove Cv axles, spare C-clips for CV axles, fire starter, breaker bar/ratchet, extra couple feet of 12 gauge wire, handfuls of zip ties, machete, HAM radio, rain ponchos, 6'x8' tarp.

 

Ok here are my 10 tools since the thread says 10.
1. 15 mm combination wrench
2. 17 mm combination wrench
3. 15 mm 3/8 drive 6 pt deep socket
4. 17 mm 3/8 drive deep socket
5. 3/8" 3/8 drive deep socket
6. Short 3/8 drive extension
7. Long 3/8 drive extension
8. Dewalt 20 volt 3/8 drive impact wrench
9. 10" vise grips
10. 3/8" drive socket that fits your lug nuts.

I carry way more but since the list is limited I think these would handle 95% of what you would need on a properly maintained machine.

 

1. Spare Belt
2. Tool kit with torx bits, sockets, and clutch tool
3. 12V Air Compressor
4. Tire plug kit
5. LED Flashlight
6. Compact .45
7. Raingear
8. Tow strap and spare rope
9. Storage box with small cooler, cups, TP
10. Machete

I need to get a first-aid kit in the machine. I have my Search & Rescue day pack that I use, but it takes up a lot of room. I need a bigger storage box. I think a first-aid kit is a must for every machine. You NEVER know what may happen and I have had to bust mine out for minor injuries to other riders.

 

What type of tow strap and how long would you guys recommend? I have a winch with about 20' of cable.

 

I have a great tow strap, its actually a sling that lifts/cranes use to offload cargo from flat-bed trailers. Very strong and safe to use on a painted/powdercoated surface. Its a loop, but stretched out probably 25'.
