Hey guys,
I think we should have a list of "Must Have Tools!"
(yes im THAT bored!)
for example:
Alan keys
Socket set
Screwdrivers
i reckon are a must for alot of jobs on this bike...
then you've got
paddock stand
carb balancer
multimeter
torque wrench
spare petrol tank thingy (dunno kinda looks like a drip....)
list extra tools and well make a definitive list...maybe even a bare minimum, racers and full for every job list?
