Bob welcome to evo land ,as for tools , just your basic hand tools should be all you need for now unless you plan a complete rebuild right off , & congrats on the new to you RK

 

Welcome. You are on the right track getting a factory manual. Got any pics?

 

Welcome to the forum.


I wouldn't worry about tools until you get familiar with your bike as in 4 years mine has only broken down twice.
Once for a nail in the rear tire and once for a loosened pushrod (my fault).


I guess what I'm trying to say is EVO's rarely break down.


I carry a bunch of tools but I use them on other peoples bikes.

 

All you need for most servicing are a set of allen keys, screw-drivers, wrenches and a few sockets, all AF. The battery will probably have 10mm metric terminal fasteners, just to through ya a curve ball.

 

If pulling the primary apart you will need a Delrin Block Wedge to jam the primary chain (10 bucks of EBay) a reversible torque wrench (one that torques left hand threads) is very useful and sodding great scaffold bar, about 5 feet long for undoing the compensator sprocket nut comes in handy.

 

As a BMW owner , I believe I'm bound by the code to say, all you need is a large hammer, some vice grips, and duct tape.


But I won't, now that I've gone over to the dark side.

 

As a BMW owner you only need a box of matches because you won't be able to afford to fix it so just set light to it

 

Don't forget the extension ladder and the seafoam.

 

True. Sad, but true...
