12v impact driver with 1/4" 3/8" and 1/2" quick release adapters.... personally i use a Milwaukee brushless driver.... man, with that thing in hand i can tear a bike apart nice and quick, use it everyday.
A 6, 7 and 9mm spanners for working on carbs. This brush for cleaning chains. Works a treat! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/MOTORCYC...140106155344&rk=3&rkt=6&sd=131014787138&rt=nc And a lift table so you don't have to bend down to get to bits.
Both inner and outer separating circlip pliers. The above spanner sizes in 2 sets BOTH in open end and ring. Various pieces of wood to do this: http://i924.photobucket.com/albums/...5-946B-437F-A79C-320EC7BA9B9E_zps8uyrvucb.jpg http://i924.photobucket.com/albums/...0-D7B9-45E3-9BFC-1956F2F350D3_zpsdp6ok1w1.jpg Jet pack jumpstarter. Can be had for $70-80 from Supercheap. (As seen in the above photos) Also (for me) an Auto range adjusting mutli meter otherwise you have to know your ranges, as well as AC & DC's. A decent quality one can be had from Jaycar for 39.95 it does everything automatically for my, and has a light up sensor that detects power.
Tablet is better: "Yeah hang on guys, I forget which wires are for what, I'll just go look on the computer for the wiring diagram" - Kiffsta, Sat 16 August. Also your 5 AUD for access to service manuals on 2fiftycc.com......
I like mine on tap ... or maybe some racing for inspiration .... or some Eddie to get the spanners twirling ......
