Richard's ST2 pages - tool kit

Information on this page last updated 08/17/01.

The stock toolkit is a bit of a joke. I assembled my own toolkit, all of which fits within the supplied bag:

• 28mm 1/2in drive socket (for front axle)
• 30mm 1/2in drive socket (for rear axle)
• 1/2in to 3/8in drive adapter
• 18mm spark plug socket for NGK plugs (5/8in for stock Champion plugs)
• 3/8in drive extension, 3in long (required for spark plug access)
• 3/8in drive 8in long breaker bar
• 6in long tube to fit over breaker bar for leverage
• 3/8in drive hook spanner to adjust shock preload
• 1/4in drive rachet, extension, and 10mm socket (for mirror removal)
• needle nosed vise grips
• stock Ducati combo screwdriver
• 3, 4, 5, 6, 8mm allen wrenches
• 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15mm combo open/box end wrenches
• AA battery mini Maglite
• pencil-type air pressure gauge

Most of the above can be had from Sears for less than $100 total. I believe the hook spanner came from the Chaparral catalog for under $10.

I also carry a BMW flat repair kit and some other miscellaneous items in the under-seat storage bag described here.
