Hi folks, I just picked up a 2004 FZ6 over the weekend and I'd love to know what you guys n gals have found you need for home maintenance. Everything is out of adjustment, none of the fluids are at the correct level. I want to change all the fluids, lube everything, and bring everything into adjustment. Problem is, I'm pretty much starting from scratch for tools. What all do I need to complete all the DIYable maintenance? I doubt the underseat kit is complete. The bike's nearing 30k miles and has probably never had valve clearance or spark plugs done, I may not attempt any tank-off stuff right away but I'd like to know what I'll need for that too. I've looked at some posts and videos, but it's hard to tell exactly what I need and I don't want to spent as much time going back and forth to the hardware store as I do working
So far I've downloaded the service manual and bought motor oil, oil filter, premix antifreeze, distilled water, catch pan, and funnel. Which sockets and hex key sizes are used? Any particular sizes of screwdrivers in terms of length, blade, etc. (special japanese-style tips?)? Do I need both sockets and crescent wrenches? How much brake fluid do I need to redo both front and rear? If it were complete, would the toolkit have all the tools needed?
Thanks in advance
