Under Seat Storage Compartment

Ice said:

What tools do you carry in that small storage space under the seat for roadside repairs? What size wrenches are needed on the R3. I’m starting with a flat blade screwdriver, small adjustable wrench, and a tire pressure gage. Any other suggestions?

On the Roadster models with the air filter box, under the seat, converted to a storage compartment, I carry a flat repair kit complete with a mini compressor, tire pressure gauge, metric allen and torx wrench kits, bike specific metric spanners, spare bulbs, an emergency mini start up battery with led light (for long trips), spare fuses, screw drivers (flat/Phillips), 10 inch adjustable, several cable ties, several small jumper cables. Probably forgetting some stuff but this all fits in that hole. I have shoved a spare clutch cable in there also at times.

Came here searching for this and wasn’t disappointed. But I’m wondering, on a 2016, I don’t really see this storage compartment. Can you post a picture?

Note: The key FOB requires a 1.5mm Allen head wrench to change the 2032 battery so ensure that it’s included in your metric hex set.

Any other suggestions?

Got it. Assuming the air intake on the tank under the bear claw is the only spot for air. To that end, does removing the air filter from under the seat make a difference?
