CHAPTER
ONE
Purchase
one that
measures
0-140 N.m
(0-100
ft.-lb.).
Impact
Driver
This
tool might have
been
designed
with
the
bike in mind.
See
Figure
13.
It makes
removal
of
engine
and
clutch
parts
easy
and eliminates
damage
to
bolts and
screw
slots.
This
tool
is
available
at most large
hardware,
motorcycle
or
auto
parts
stores.
Circlip Pliers
Circlip
pliers
(sometimes
referred
to
as snap-ring
pliers)
are
necessary
to remove
the
circlips used
on
the
transmission
shaft
assemblies.
See
Figure
14.
Hammers
The
correct hammer
is
necessary for
bike
repairs.
Use
only
a
hammer with
a
face
(or
head)
of
rubber
or
plastic
or the soft-faced
type that
is
filled
with
buckshot. These
are sometimes necessary
in
engine
tear-downs. Never
use
a
metal-faced
hammer
on the bike as severe
damage
will
result in
most
cases. You
can always
produce
the same
amount
of
force with
a soft-faced hammer.
Ignition
Gauge
This
tool has
both flat
and
wire
measuring
gauges
and
is
used
to
measure
spark
plug
gap
(Figure
15). This
device is
available at most
auto
or
motorcycle
supply stores.
Other
Special
Tools
A few
other special
tools
may
be
required
for
major
service.
These
are described in
the
appropriate
chapters
and are available
either
from
a Honda
dealer
or other manufacturers
as
indicated.
TUNE.UP
AND
TROUBLESHOOTING
TOOLS
Multimeter
or
Volt-ohm
Meter
This instrument
(Figure
16)
is invaluable
for
electrical
system
troubleshooting
and service. A
few
of
its
functions
may
be duplicated
by
homemade
test equipment,
but for
the serious
mechanic
it is
a must. Its
uses
are described in
the
applicable
sections
of the
book.
Strobe Timing Light
This
instrument
is necessary
for
checking
the
ignition
timing. By
flashing
a light
at the
precise
instant
the spark
plug
fires,
the
position
of the
timing mark
can
be seen. Marks
