Search is a good start:

Tool kit

I know our bikes are bulletproof, but still: please post a list of tools you take for long rides. Eventually, I plan to collect something like the kit from Advdesigns, but maybe they missed something or there is some tool there I'll never have to use. Also other repair stuff: do you take cold...

Welcome from Texas. If you're the first owner, your OE tool kit should still be there. It IS super basic, but it will do in a pinch. Many guys here have their own personal preferences as to what/which tools they want to carry. It will largely depend on where, and how far you're going, as to the tools you'll want to carry.

Yes thank you I would really like to pick and choose if there was something PDF or website that said this is every tool that we use on a Yamaha super tenere
Or I guess I could just break down my own machine but I really don't wanna do that when it works just fine I have a variety of tools already But thank you for the help I guess

Simply spend a Saturday morning giving your bike a little love in the form of checking the tightness of all the fasteners you can get at. Throw all the tools you used to do this in a pile and then either put them in a tool kit or obtain duplicates and put those in your tool kit. Add a few things like spare wire, fuses, tape, zip ties, etc. and you'll have a fairly complete kit.

Going forward, every time you service your bike, use this tool kit that you have created. You may find yourself adding things depending upon how deep your servicing takes you.

There is no comprehensive list. Mostly because the Super Ten rarely breaks. Most problems are things we did to the bike, not some known issue or failure of the platform.

So, the real suggestion starts with what are you willing to do to the bike by the side of the road or trail? What do you want to be able to do? How long are your trips?

I carried tools to remove both wheels so I could get a tire swap done quicker and cheaper if I was on the road and needed a new tire.
I carried the tools I needed to do an oil change in the parking lot. (except for a drain pan)
I carried the basic common fastener tools. 4,5,6,8mm allen wrenches or allen sockets, 10/12/14/15/17mm wrenches.

I think what you were hoping to find is something like this: LINK To the best of my knowledge, one like that for the Super Ten does not exist.

This is my tool kit. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

The only thing missing from the photo is the power cable for my air compressor; that's stored in that little space under the right side cowling that's normally reserved for the OEM tool kit. I wasn't ambitious enough to dig it out for the photo. The 9/16" combination wrench is so I can attach the air hose to my air compressor. Couldn't find any metric fittings at the hardware store when I made the air compressor.

It all packs down to look like this:

The only things that don't go into my tool tube are the two items at the lower right of the photo. Those are the tire string kit, some shop rags, and a set of small jumper cables. Those go into the crash bar bags.

Everything else goes into this tool tube on the right side of the bike:

I put this together based on what tasks I would feel comfortable undertaking if I had to repair something along the side of the road, and what repairs I'd likely encounter while I was traveling. I went over the bike and checked all the fastener sizes I'd likely encounter in those repairs, and made sure I had the right tools for it. I don't carry anything to change a tire, because it's unlikely I'd ever be carrying a spare tire to change one that was damaged. I do carry the tools to remove a wheel and take it with me after I hitch a ride with a good samaritan to a bike shop, where I could buy a tire and they could change it. If I was traveling somewhere remote where help might be far away, I would carry a tube and and the tools to dismount and mount a tire, but in almost 40 years of riding, I've never encountered that.

None of the tools are high speed expensive stuff. The wrenches are all the Pittsburgh brand from Harbor Freight. The vise grips, pliers, and adjustable wrench are all Harbor Freight too. The socket head drivers are Kobalt, and the combination screwdriver was from the hardware store. The socket set and 3/8" drive are Craftsman, which I got on sale from Amazon. The JIS screwdriver and jumper cables were from Amazon too. The axle nut wrench is from Cruz Tools, but I don't recall where I bought that. The tire repair kit and shop rags came from O'Reilly Auto. You don't need the rubber cement for the tire strings, but I carry it anyway to help lubricate the tire strings when you're trying to insert one. If it dries out before I need it, the tire strings still work.

I set this up so I would have all those tools even if I decided to ride without the panniers and top case. The crash bar bags are always on the bike, since that's where I keep the rain gear for my passenger and I. The crash bar bags are just a couple military surplus gas mask carriers, that look like this:

I went thru the service manual and started to figure out what tools I'd need for routine maintenance on the road. Tire changes, adjusting stuff, oil checks, etc. Then I figured out what tools would do the job (wrenches, combos, ratchets, sockets, etc) Tried not to get too crazy with tools and went thru several iterations of setup before I was satisfied. Most everything fits in a tool rollup from Harbor Freight. I keep a smaller kit for just tooling around and a larger setup for longer trips (the larger setup has zip ties, safety wire, JB Weld, and stuff you'd use for emergency repairs).
Tool kits are an individual thing and everybody has their preferences.

 

[Andylaser]

I think this is the full list of whats needed.

3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 17 & 19mm hex bits
T30 Torx & T50 Security Torx
10, 12, 13 & 17mm sockets
8, 10, 12, 13, 14 & 17mm spanners
27mm socket or spanner
Flat & Pozi screwdrivers

BTW, That's a really nice setup. I like how you have your bags distributed.

Building my kit at the moment.

Got a hand air pump with a hose attached, so pumping doesn't bend the valve stem.

I would try adding 5 lbs. of air to a flat tire with a hand pump and consider whether you'll live long enough to fill a flat tire to 40 PSI with a hand pump.

Especially at the side of the road on a hot summer day in the 90s...

My thinking is, if I get a flat tire, and plug it, it'll need air. Even enough to get me to a gas station is fine.

It would be nice to have an air pump built into the bike via spark plug or exhaust, and use the engine to pump air to the tire.
Not sure the bike would run on 1 sparkplug, haven't tried it.

Maybe run the de-air process (key on, 2 buttons for 8 seconds, 2 buttons for 3 seconds, then WOT+starter) would be enough to crank the engine with no fuel, and pump air out....
