Basic Tool Requirements.

[Crowfoot]

agree with kit with treemonger additon, should also include about 20 feet of light weight nylon rope and an exhaust spring tool. unless your opening up a service station take the size that fits your sled. Look to common prob areas for what sizes you need:
handle bar mounted controls (2-3 allen keys)
tools to service carb(long screwdriver, drain cap, main jet
manifold bolt/allen wrench
torx for body panel
should have light weight socket wrench, with 4-5 sockets
electric tape
check what size fuse's you need tape one under the hood of frame part
spare exhaust springs

your regular maintenance kit has service tools for main parts. I found factory wrenchs to be poor quailty, replace with resonable ones.

That was incredible.

Dropped into a bowl one time in the back of Snowater near Nelson and my buddy's motor went. Hooper-based 800 ZRT. Pulled the motor and drove it down on the back of my sled, replaced pistons and took it back two days later, replaced in sled and rode it out. Sometimes that is the easiest thing to do instead of pulling the sled out (which was not an option in this case).

Pull, fix and install and keep riding all in one day is very impressive though!!! Props to the 340!!!!
