Essential Maintence Tools

Postby wazza1234 » Sun Oct 09, 2011 2:09 pm

I recently bought a 1993 ZZR600 and am planning on doing most of the maintenance in it myself (pretty well anything apart from rebuilding the engine/transmission). I am wondering what people deem to be the essential tools/measuring equipment/calibration equipment to have to perform maintenance a motorcycle (not just a ZZR600) and the best places to buy said tools either online or in a store.
