Service Tools for Buddy 50?

Post by ravenonacoyote »

Being pretty far away from a service center I will be doing service myself. I was just wondering if anyone has put together a list of tools and sizes to do all the maintenance required. Might be a good sticky.

List so far:
Original tools that cane with your Buddy 50
Metric Socket Set
Large Crescent Wrench
Torque Wrench
Impact Wrench
Phillips Head Screwdriver
Funnel
Measuring cup for gear oil

Torque wrench. I only use em for cylinder head bolts. But I guess if your not confident you,d need one. You should add feeler gauge. I like a cordless impact driver for all the small fasteners.

Don't forget the spark plug removal/installation tool that comes with the Buddy.

Impact wrench for loosening, torque wrench for tightening. Remember the [anecdotal] horror story about the crankshaft that was stripped by an enthusiastic retightening of the variator nut with an impact tool.....

Should the socket tools be metric or US?

Metric
