I am Trying to put together a tool kit for my RZR XP. Does anyone know what specific tools (sockets, wrenches, etc.) one would need for trail repairs? I am trying to keep the weight down and carry just the specific tools I would need instead of a heavy tool kit that has more than I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Does anyone know if it tells you what tools you need in the manual

But a slime 12v pump and a bottle jack that will fit in the battery compartment then get a plug kit for tires then put in some large zip ties, extra wire, snips, and a cheap harbor freight socket set in a bag along with a pair of needle nose pliers and a small led flash light, I also through in a ratchet strap folded up and taped so it doesnt come apart... With all theses tools u can pretty much mitigate any problem u will have next to structural damage... All that will fit in a small 12 pack soft ice chest or whatever u want

I think you hit all the important things for sure but I would suggest one other thing... A 6' length of PVC tubing to use as a siphon hose.

Why not just use a syphon hose?
More flexible, easier storage, self primer.
You can even get the style with a hand pump.

The hand pump style is what I use to pump fuel out of my gas can into the tank while it's still mounted in the bed.

I tried the "siphon hose" and it worked like twice or three times... I have the lock-n-ride cargo box and the hose is only 1/2" it coils up real nice. Not a big problem being without the pump or self primer.

[shrive81]

Ok..was just wondering if there was a reason for 16 ga. I carry a couple 12 ga wires with small alligator clamps on each end ..16 won't be good for much amperage at all...can't see 16 ga running a fan for long...unless it is just powering the fan relay.
BTW if you unplug the coolant temp sensor the fan will run continuously

thanks for all the great info, still wondering if anyone knows the specific tools needed for a RZR XP or if I can find them by going through the manual. Even if a company like UTV INC., Benchmark, etc. that does xp builds could tell me what tools they use the most?

I carry a small Craftsman 1/4" tool kit..comes in a book style case also carry a 1/2"ratchet 3" ext and socket for lug nuts. A T27 (iirc) bit for plastic removal ect. Flexible 1/4 drive 6" extension(comes in handy for getting the belt cover off..which by the way reminds me ..spare belt)
A Gerber multi-tool. Maybe some more stuff I'd have to look. That's just in my small tool kit. Everyone has their preferences.if someone was to put together a kit that was compact and that would get you out of every foreseeable jam they would make themselves rich

I believe it's mostly 11-15mm

So it sounds like I dont need that many tools for trail repairs?

Because I bought a craftsman mechanics tool set from sears that I was going to pick through to make a tool kit and put what I needed in a tool bag in my rzr.
