In the K4 one, the only tools I've used in it and what I use them for are:
The 2 spanners for chain adjustment. The 2 alun keys used to get the riders seat off. The alun key used to get the fuel tank up. The screwdriver heads/handle, for adjusting front end preload and getting the tailpiece fairing off . The G-shaped spanner (?) used for rear preload. I'm considering junking the rest (well, tipping it into my tool kit) and using the saved space for things I'll use more often like duct tape and cable ties. |

Talking of tools, what size socket do I need for the rear axle nut, & allen key size for the chain adjuster? Should I get one of them T-bar allen key doohickeys?
Going attempt to adjust the chain at some point (will be my first time, be gentle), & want to get some decent tools to do the job as I don't want to end up rounding the bolts etc. Cheers GregK2 |

Chuck 'em all out in the rain for 5 minutes, any that rust are genuine Suzuki tools
Jelster, yours'd be in the daft box underneath the tail wouldn't it?
