What`s under your seat?

[Daddy Cool]

I keep a Swiss Army Knife under my seat compartment ,always. With the tool kit. What do you always have stored?

[gn2]

A microfibre cloth for cleaning the fork stanchions.
It lives where the toolkit usually goes.
The toolkit got thrown in a cupboard never to see the light of day again.

Nothing.

Why do you need a knife.

Or a toolkit?

It`s a multi-tool , not just a knife. I can cut fruit with a knife, bandages with a scissor, screwdriver for a quick tightening , toothpick, tweezers etc. for whatever need may arise on the road.

Lock and chain, exhaust baffles, just in case.

And stones out of horses hooves I hope...

I carry my digital tire pressure gauge, my screwdriver, and registration/insurance.

[Kermit]

A baseball cap to cover up my helmet hair.

[MikeP]

Portable charger/power supply and battery booster ( size of a half pound of butter)
2 fuel bottles, full
1 50ml motor oil
Electrical tape
6 Cable ties
Tire patch kit
Co2 inflator/pump
Tool roll containing tools to do basic service/tune up/repairs
Insurance papers
Cargo net
2" x 6' buckle tie down strap.
Pressure gauge

Prepared for almost anything because I frequently go for long rides and if I breakdown, I want to at least limp it home.

No room for helmut.

I think a lot of what you have can be replaced by a BCAA membership.

I'm screwed if I ever get a flat. But my poor man's BCAA is a phone call to my wife to come get me with the minivan.

Buckle tie down straps seem a lot better than my bungee cords.

[Bash On!]

Foam, and a seat pan.

[WhiteNoise]

^^^ clever lil fella! I think I got me some of that too!

Under the seat? At this freezing moment in time with scoot plugged into battery tender? Welp, all I gots is a seat pan 'n foam (oh, you knew that already ) and a Grip-Lock (why I left that in there, I Dunno )

Agree with gn2, Honda tool kit makes me....

[tbln930]

Required registration/insurance papers, a red shop towel, cards with my towing service phone numbers. There is always service 24x7 within an hour of me wherever I go. I also have a 16' tandem axle trailer to haul it and trailer hitches on all of our vehicles. I check fluid levels every ride and just don't see much change in anything in say 1000 miles. I am adding a tire kit to each bike. I now have top cases on both bikes and have water/clothes in them typically.

[Urbanfreestyle]

Waterproofs, towel, kitchen roll, business cards and a can of monster!

[scudder]

Spoggles x1, gloves, multifibre cloth, tyre pressure gauge, insurance docs/Green Flag assistance, Swiss army knife. The tool kit went in the bin - less than useless.

... just kidding. I keep my rain pants under the seat.

[JohnL]

That would be as good as any laxative :-)

For my first year of scooter riding I carried enough tools to....
Anyway, I'm getting a lot better MPG's now that I'm trusting the scooter to get me back to my tool box.
Digital tire pressure & stick (to compare them to each other), tire repair kit with the C02 bottles, towel, soft surface disc for the side stand (from the riding safety class), a few sockets & ratchet, multi-screw driver, rain shed stuff for my visor, rain gloves. Ins. card, owners manual, & registration.
BTW - there is plenty of room for two full face helmets under the Forza seat if you follow the diagram in the owner's manual. One helmet over the battery area, the other helmet is also set on its 'neck' but turned 1/4 turn to face to the side.
If the top boxes didn't spoil the looks so bad on the Forza - I'd put one on. On my Ves-bretta looking Kymco, the top box is quite handy and seems less like a design after-thought. (Kymco delivers the scoot with a box installed) Feel the same about those CHIP's windscreens....but understand that this is a personal decision.
Plus, at 6'3", I'd be kicking the snot out of any top box on the Forza since this scoot is not a step-through.

For "aesthetic days" you just pop the top case off. It takes a few seconds with the key. I now actually feel like something is missing with it off. You get used to all that space real fast. I even forget to take it off for speed tests, etc. When you had LEDs to the rear and better visibility it becomes easy.

The fact that there's a picture suggests that somebody actually did that .
