I'm putting together a small, light toolkit to use on/off road for my DRZ

For puncture repairs on the GS, I've got a 12V Slime pump. Works fine but is a bit of a lump.

I've got a couple of the Motion Pro alloy tyre levers where the other end is a ring spanner for the axle nut:

Not cheap but they weigh almost nothing and seem amazingly strong. I've put my new tyres on with them and they are excellent. I've also got the clip in adaptor that means you can drive sockets using the tyre lever as well.

So, I'm now looking for a pump . . .
 
I use the ADV Designs pump, it's expensive but I got it as a gift from an ADVer. I don't think you'll find a compressor any smaller without shelling out loads more cash or taking it out of the plastic housing. FYI, that's what a lot of people seem to doing. Youcouldconsider a good handpump but who can be arsed with the extra effort. NB I use the DRC combination levers, similar to your Motion Pro.

…my list if your interested:

  • ADV air compressor
  • HD tubes front & rear
  • Combination tyre levers & spanner (front & rear)
  • Mechanics gloves
  • Talcum powder & electrical& gaffer tape(rim tape)
  • Hand pump
  • 2 x rims savers (I don’t bother with these, they’re a PITA)
  • 2 x CO2 cannisters
  • Pressure gauge
  • Abrasive paper
  • Spoke spanner
  • Valve adaptor
  • Razor blade
  • Patches
  • 4 x vale cores
  • Valve core removal tool
  • Vulcanising cement
  • Buffer/Stitcher combo tool (invaluable for repairing tubes)
  • Sliding T-bar, E12 socket & T45 torx socket (these tools mean I don’t need to open my tool kit)
  • Bead buddy (makes things so much easier)
  • Valve stem puller (this makes the most frustrating part a doddle)
  • Valve stem nuts (I’m always dropping and losing these)
