Always carry a full tool and repair kit. Store it in the
removable side panel on the left-hand side of the Minsk.
Problems do occur, so the better prepared you are, the
easier time you will have should things go wrong. I highly
recommend that you take with you all the equipment listed
below.
1.
Spare spark plug.
2.
Pair of pliers.
3.
Sparkplug remover. It can double up as a
#17 and a #21 spanner. Good for the sump
bolt and the #22 wheel axle nuts (it still fits for some reason!)
4.
Flat head screw driver. Used for removing the generator case, the clutch
case and the front head-lamp casing. It can also be used to remove
the sparkplug, the large rubber seal between the carburettor and
the air box, for banging out the axle from either of the two wheels
and for taking apart the carburettor. Note that some bikes have had
Phillips screws unofficially put on them so check if this is the case
and carry one accordingly.
5.
Spanners – sizes #8 (for removing generators), #10 (for some nuts
and bolts), 12 (for removing the petrol tank, side panels and
generator version #2. Also used for locking the steering column,
locking the front wheel and holding on the rear of the exhaust pipe),
#13 (the most important size, used for the engine's brace nuts, the
carburettor, the clutch lock nut and chain tightening screws) and #17
(for the back suspension, the back wheel axle shaft, the handle bars and
both bolts to do with changing the clutch and gear oil).
6.
Adjustable spanner. Used to remove the
petrol filter and the #22 nuts which hold both
wheels on.
7.
Sand paper for cleaning the sparkplug and brake pads.
8.
Tyre removing tools – you need a set of three. It is worth buying
the flat, more expensive type as they are stronger. Can also be used
to tighten the spokes.
9.
Exhaust pipe removing tool. Used to tighten the caps at the top of
the two front suspension forks, the lock
washer at the top of the steering column, the
exhaust pipe to the engine, the screws half
