Start with a Service manual for your bike and a good floor jack with at least a 1000 minimum weight rating.
Essentially all the Torx including the 5 big ones that go on a ratchet. So the small ones that come on a multi piece key and the big ones that are ratchet driven
Full spectrum of allen wrenches. Same as above. Small ones on a key and the larger sizes that are ratchet driven.
Big cresent wrench and a small one.
Full set of SAE open ended wrenches.
Full set of SAE sockets and various lenghts extensions.
A high quality Torque wrench.
Rubber mallet.
Soldering iron just in case.
Few flat tip screwdrivers and a couple phillips.
Then make sure you have the typical assortment of needle nose pliers, vise grips, and wire cutters.
I know I'm forgetting something but those are the ones you will use most often.

as for manuals, you might want to add :
Electrical Diagnostic Manual 99498-09
the service manual periodically refers to it.
Zacharia's tool suggestions are what I'll be getting (other than jack, have crapsman jack).
