Std mfrs toolkit

[smist]

Anybody know what that large flat 36mm ring spanner is for in the toolkit under the seat?

I know the 32mm one is for the rear axle, but not sure what the largest one is for.

I want to get myself a decent socket set / torque wrench and was checking to see what sizes I should make sure I have in it.

The bigger one is for the other side of the axle, at least on the 04-06s.

Cheers.

I looked on the other side of the swing arm and that end of the axle appears to be 'locked' in place anyway, so I assume that it is only the 'chain' side requires undoing - is this correct. Will I ever need to touch the other side?

Got my bike minus the tool kit and manuals good thing I discovered this site. Hope somebody provides a list of the manufacturer's tool kit much better a photo for reference.

Many thanks.

Hi BELGICAN,

I need to got out in about 5 mins and won't be back till this evening. I am quite happy to take a photo of my toolkit if that will help.

Check back on this thread this evening and hopefully I will have it done by then. Oh, and by the way, it is 14:47 here at the moment.

Here's the toolkit that came with my new FZ6.

From left to right:

* carrying pouch
* extension bar
* 12 / 14 mm spanner
* 2 x 10 / 12 mm spanner
* 36 mm flat ring spanner
* 32 mm flat ring spanner
* 'C' spanner for adjusting rear shock preload
* plug spanner
* small screwdriver with dual ended removable attachment (philips and flat-blade)
* 5 mm allen key
* 4 mm allen key

Hope this is useful.

Just in case anybody is interested, I went out today and bought myself a torque wrench and 32mm 1/2 inch socket for the rear axle nut.

For those of you in the UK, I managed to get the Torque Wrench for £13.99 from ScrewFix. Not a bad price really and it is quite well engineered and is reported by the manufacturer as being of sufficient quality for 'Workshop use'. Part number 18289.

I also managed to purchase a 32mm socket on it's own (most places will try to sell you a fairly top-end socket set to get this size as it is on the large side for most cheap socket sets). You can pick up the socket (on its own) at Halfords for £6.00.

Thought I would share this with the forum just in case somebody else is looking to kit themselves out with reasonably good but inexpensive tools to maintain their bike (mfrs toolkit is ok for roadside emergency, but not great for general maintenance).
