Can you be a little more specific about what is in it and why that's great? You seem a tad shy on the details. :)

EconoKIT® M1

You'll be in serious trouble if you need to depend on the kit that came with your bike. Not only is tool grade grossly inadequate, but content is also seriously lacking. We can fix that with the potent M1, which contains our exclusive PowerDrive wrenches and loads of other high-quality tools and roadside items, packed in a durable double-panel polyester pouch.
EKM1 $49.95


www.cruztools.com has details pics and charts as to what is in each kit. Above is the type of kit they carry, but I think you can by directly from cruztools if you like.
I love getting technical information to scooterists!

The link for tha CA company is the source. You can pic up thier products locally at www.cyclespecialties.com on Harrison Ave. Take 74 West from 75. turn left off the exit. They are on the right just up the hill past the Jeep dealer.

They are probably the best deal in town.

We sell the Cruz econo kits too. Another alternative is to head to autozone, home depot, lowes, etc and pick up a small assortment of quality tools that you can stick in a pouch and stowe on your scoot. You don't have to buy expensive tools to exceed the quality of the factory supplied tool kits. Factory tool kits are a joke but they are still definitely better than nothing!

Bein a service tech all ready what I do is keep a collection of the things i use to do service and repair at home . I just keep all that stuff on one work bench that way when I go on a ride I collect up tools and spare parts and put it all in a shave kit bag. It seems to be just the right size to get all the stuff I take with me. cause i have more than one ride it would be hard to dup everything for each ride. I usually have the stuff all over the work bench when I am not ridin. If I could figure out how to keep spare brake fluid from leaking out of the bottle
