where do i put this thing so that I actually have something useful if I am out riding and have a problem?

what is under my seat that is occupying the normal spot for the toolkit? is that the SAS? what is the best and most reliable way to get rid of it?

The super duke never has any problems, as you can probably tell from this site (hehehehe)
That is the vapor recovery canister
Good luck putting it under the seat, especially if you have the R model...
I usually keep my cell phone handy, and my trailer ready.
Seriously though, some good preriding inspection, and I have never been truly stranded in many thousands of miles.
Boy did I just destroy my good luck streak with this reply, or what?

dump the charcoal can from under the seat. Joe posted instructions in the "How to" section... there is plenty of other posts to, try doing a search. i recommend going through the kit, figure out the most usefull tools, and carry them with.

I just had a first "off" with the bike... cutting through some forest roads, hit some mud, bike went completely sideways and i did not manage to save it. ~30km/h, hardly any damage... broke my bar-end signal light on my chest, i have a big colorfull bruise on my tit now
anyway, only damage to the bike is few scratches on crash-bungs, and the shifter leaver, which did not get damaged, but somehow rotated around all the way to the foot peg. NO TOOL KIT!!!
my trunk was full (i had the Leo baffles in there ...)
well, guess what, the repair would have been 30s, and we could have kept going, but instead, i had to go home without any shifting... well it did shift up, but not down. by the time i figured it out, i was in 6th gear unable to go down.... rode all the way home in 6th... taking off from trafic lights was actually quite easy, i thought it would be an issue

An orange briefcase with toolkit, OWNERS MANUAL, Delivery Certificate, and a checklist of the items you should get - or could get, and the dealer is supposed to tick the items.

I have seen that list somewhere, maybe on KTM website.
