Your motorcycle, like any machine, sometimes needs repair. To support him, there is nothing better than being well equipped. Have the right tools allows you to perform at least 80% of repairs and maintenance. What tools do you need?
Essential tools to repair your motorcycle
These are the basic tools that you should have in your toolbox. It includes different types of keys, and it is desirable to have all of them, because each key has its own purpose: pipe wrenches, flat wrenches, hex wrenches, torque wrench, etc. Some of them are sold as a set, which contains keys of several sizes: a set of flat keys, a set of hex keys ... And so it is better to buy, because all sizes can be useful. Whereas for other specific keys (spark plug wrench, oil filter wrench, etc.), purchasing multiple sizes is not required because you just need to choose the one that matches your motorcycle.
Enter the dynasty of daily necessities, set of pliers (pliers, pliers and multi-purpose pliers), mechanical hammer, Phillips and flat head screwdrivers... For practical reasons, it is best to bring along a full tool case that contains all of these tools.
Lifting tools
Since not all motorcycles have a center stand, please purchase The C-pillar stand makes sense. It keeps the motorcycle upright and lifts the rear wheel to facilitate any useful motorcycle maintenance (chain lubrication, oil change, wheel change, etc.). There are two models, rubber cushion or V, each with its own advantages. A V-support crutch will prove to be more stable and safer to use, but using it requires placing the diabolo on the pendulum. However, the one with the pad will be more practical because it simply slides under the pendulum. Thanks to the adjustable distance between them, it will adapt to most of the bikes on the market. For work that requires both wheels to be lifted, all you need to do is install the front stand.... With that in mind, a workshop lift stand can also help!
Chain Tools
Chain brush : Useful for thoroughly cleaning the chain before lubricating it.
Laser chain alignment unit : Thanks to the laser beam, it allows you to correctly align the chain and monitor the position of the pinion axle in accordance with the pinion. There are 2 versions: built-in laser box (usually for professionals) and point laser box, which is more economical.

Rifles / Drivers are specially designed for timing chains, make sure you always use the correct tools. This kit includes 3 axles of variable size to adapt to these chains.
Tire Tools

Please note that this kit can only be used with tubeless tires. On the other hand, it should never be forgotten that after the repair there is still room for monitoring the tire pressure using a pressure gauge..
Specific tools
Despite good mechanical technique, it is sometimes difficult to unscrew the screw. To overcome the toughest screws, we turn to impact screwdriver... Your best bet is to go for a box that contains several different sized nibs.
Le multimeter joined these tools when you want to change indicators or during a power failure. It is used to distinguish between the positive pole and ground in an electrical circuit. For basic use (for example, for checking electrical voltage) the pen of a voltage tester is more than sufficient.
For the effectiveness and durability of these tools, think about quality: the cheaper tool is often of inferior quality!
