12mm spanner (any idea what this would fit on an SV?)
The pinch bolt on the front axle on a curvy is 12mm, so you do need one for front wheel removal. Probably not much use roadside though unless you are in the habit of carrying spare tyres .

....and a hammer.

If it moves and it shouldn't, duct tape it. If it doesn't move and it should, WD40 it, if it still doesn't move hit it with the hammer, if it breaks, duct tape it.
