CHAPTER
ONE
Be
careful
when lending
tools to
"friends'o-make
sure they
return
them
promptly;
if not,
your
collection
will
soon disappear.
Quality
tools are
made
of alloy steel
and are
heat
treated
for
greater
strength.
They
are lighter
and
better
balanced
than cheap ones. Their
surface
is
smooth,
making them
a
pleasure
to
work
with
and
easy to
clean. The initial
cost of
good
quality
tools
may be more but it is
cheaper
in
the
long
run.
Don't
try to
buy
everything in
all
sizes
in
the
beginning; do
it
a
little
at a time until
you
have
the
necessary
tools.
Keep
your
tools clean
and
in
a tool
box.
Keep
them organized
with
the sockets and related
drives
together
and the open end
and box
wrenches
together, etc. After using
a tool,
wipe
off dirt and
grease
with
a clean cloth
and
place
the tool in its
correct
place.
Doing
this
will
save
a
lot
of time
you
would have
spent trying to find
a socket buried in
a
bunch of clutch
parts.
The following
tools
are
required
to
perform
virtually any repair
job
on
a bike.
Each
tool
is
described and
the
recommended
size
given
for
starting a tool collection. Table 2 includes
the
tools
that should be
on
hand for
simple home repairs
and/or
major overhaul. Additional
tools and some
duplications
may
be added as
you
become more
familiar with
the
bike.
Almost
all
motorcycles
(with
the
exception of the U.S.
built
Harley
and
some
English
bikes) use
metric
size
bolts and nuts.
If
you
are starting
your
collection now,
buy
metric
sizes.
Screwdrivers
The
screwdriver
is
a
very
basic tool,
but
if
used
improperly it will
do more
damage than
good.
The
slot
on a screw
has
a definite
dimension
and shape.
A
screwdriver
must
be selected
to conform
with
that shape. Use
a small screwdriver for
small
screws and a
large
one for large
screws or
the screw
head
will
be
damaged.
Two
basic types
of screwdriver
are
required
to
repair
the bike-a
common
(flat
blade) screwdriver
and the
Phillips
screwdriver.
Screwdrivers are available in
sets
which
often
include
an assortment of
common and Phillips
blades.
If
you
buy them
individually,
buy at
least
the
following:
a. Common screwdriver-5/16X6 in.
blade.
b.
Common screwdriver-3/8X12 in.
blade.
c. Phillips
screwdriver-size 2
tip,6 in.
blade.
Use
screwdrivers
only
for
driving screws. Never
use
a screwdiver
for
prying
or chiseling. Do not
try
to remove
a
Phillips
or
Allen
head
screw
with
a
