I've got girly arms too that's why I have a nice selection of long torque wrenches, spanners & breaker bars. I know brute force isn't really an option for me.

Stu, the SV toolkit is no better or worse than other bikes (The Yamaha and Kawasaki tool kits I've seen have essentially been the same) They're all made for about £0.50 and mean you can at least do up a loose bolt at the side of the road. A decent set of spanners, Allen keys and screwdrivers are well worth it in terms of saved Aggro

Useful Plug spanner though, keep hold of that!

Oh, I dream of someday developing girly arms, at the moment I've got child-arms

Good point that, thanks for restoring my faith.
Actually got a good set of spanners in the garage, but would like a cheap good Torque Wrench (hint if anyone wants to recommend )

Machine Mart's half-incher is a good tool. Not particularily accurate but it's a big-numbers wrench so it doesn't matter so much if it's not exactly spot on. And quite cheap! I've got 2, one which I reserve for actually torquing nuts up, and the other which I use as a massive ratchet for other stuff.
