Title: Are any other these tools actually useful? Post by strang on 01/08/13 at 14:05:08 Here's the suzuki savage tool kit contents that came with my bike. I think they are pretty low quality rubbish to be honest and am thinking of making up my own set. Just wanted to check that the odd one isn't for something particular? I know that the 3rd one from left is the belt tension guide/measure tool and that most people say it's useless - good enough for me to not bother with. But what is the tool 5th from left for? it's a hex tool with one end pinched. And is 7th from left for something specific? |

Title: Re: Are any other these tools actually useful? Post by arteacher on 01/08/13 at 14:22:25 That is an extension for the axle wrench. (Big box end wrench.) And hang on to those screwdriver pieces- they are "jap" specked, and fit the Philips head screws much better than a regular Philips head does. |

After you slide the extension onto the wrench - then you have to put your foot on it and bounce! :o |

Title: Re: Are any other these tools actually useful? Post by houstonbofh on 01/08/13 at 15:36:14 Aida's bike did not come with the factory toolkit. So I bough one. I have used both the axel wrench and the plug socket tool many times. Also the same toold on my own bike. (The Marauder) I added a few Allen wrenches to mine as well. Handy to adjust the controls on the road. |

Title: Re: Are any other these tools actually useful? Post by Cavi Mike on 01/08/13 at 16:43:29 If that box wrench (tool 7) can handle the cheater bar (tool 5) and the weight of a person bouncing on it without splitting in two, I'll buy a kit. |

Title: Re: Are any other these tools actually useful? Post by justin_o_guy2 on 01/09/13 at 14:15:04 The plug tool is good. Fits in there better than anything else I have, Yea, keep the screwdriver parts. IF a guy uses the 24 mm wrench & stuff from the kit to put the axle in THEN it may be good enough to pull the rear wheel, But, If a guy runs that axle up tight with a 1/2 impact w/ the air control valve set to wide open & theres 120 pounds in the tank? I wouldnt expect that pukey little wrench & sawed off cheater to but it loose, Once youve gotten over the "magic" of adjusting things on your bike you'll probably get tired of messing with that belt tensioner tool.Ive got many, many tools & I know where they are, down to which pair of pliers is where in the pliers drawer. Each one has its own spot. Punches arent quite as anal in their placement, Anyway, I couldnt tell ya if I even still have that brass tensioning tool. If ya lose it, dont run buy another one.. I dont understand why they even still make pliers of that basic design. Yes, I Have a set, standing on edge on the right side of the drawer, held in place by a small magnet, But, if I decided I needed more pliers & something had to go? First in line, baby! 13 pair in that drawer. & its a small drawer, Sorta say 1&1/2" tall, 8" wide ( or so), good ol Craftsman box from late 60's I spose.. FWIW, I went from Okay & working to OHHHH, MAN! I dont feel good while I was out in the shop last nite. Had a little over 100* on the thermometer this morning, Still got almost 100* & when Im sick & have a fever, I get REALLY chatty.. sorry. A fever really affects my behavior |
