Tools / Recommendations needed for RS
#9
Welcome to the forum.
If you look the bike over you'll see most of the fasteners are Torx.
There's a few Hex and bolts needing sockets.
Instead of buying certain sizes it's probably cheaper to buy sets.
My Torx bit set has seven sizes, ranging from 15 to 50. I also bought a 60 in case I have to remove the rear brake petal.
My Hex bit set has six sizes, 4mm to 10mm.

If you look at the front brake reservoir cover you'll notice the fastener are different than the clutch reservoir cover. The brake reservoir cover takes a Torx Plus size 20.

Some of the locations you need a Allen wrench or Hex bit are:
Oil drain plug is 10mm
Final drive fill plug is 6mm
Rt side of front axle is 22mm
Lt side of front axle is 12mm (I use a Allen wrench in this location)

A stick coil puller was needed. The coil snaps to the end of the spark plug and it best to use a puller when you change plugs.
You can get one from Amazon.

On trips I carry a Promach Dual Tool. This tool is a coil puller and front axle tool.

In one of Ray's pictures he shows a multi size front axle tool that most bike shops carry.

Instead of a axle tool for the right side, some spark plug sockets are the correct size when you flip it around.
