Nope.. The factory toolkit leaves a lot to be desired.. I carry a few rolls with enough to do some major roadside surgery if necessary.
The Cruz Tools Road Tech H3 and EconoKit EL1 are a really good starting point, a couple of spare tie straps, a good flashlight and a portable soldering kit rounds that out pretty nicely.

Forgot to mention the emergency tire repair kit.. If you are in the middle of nowhere and pick up a nail it could come in handy. I hope I never have to use that one. I have AAA platinum roadside assistance so 200 miles out should keep me covered, but YOU NEVER KNOW...

Me too, but the standard tools are something to be desired (cheap). I've swapped and added a few of my own - didn't want to rely on cheap Chinese metal to get me out of a roadside jam...

My 2010 limited came with the cheap POS orange tool kit.

thanks for the response i keep the basics with me and a 12 volt compressor for flats but the reason i was asking is i changed my lowers on my bike and i heard people say to use the 36mm wrench for the upper fork nut and assumed i had one til i looked haha i had to run all over and find a 1 3/8 wrench
