On the last message board someone posted a list of tools required to fettle a Buell. I'm looking at CJ on this one, as he is a fan of all things list like. I have been back to look and couldn't find the post.

Failing that: has anybody got a list of tools that I need to keep the X1 in one piece?

Hello...been a long time since i've posted and feels even longer from when i sold my bike.

CJ did indeed post a list of torques....i did a short list of essential tools needed for the job but I don't know where it has now gone.

I'm sure someone will post some info later however the main tools you need is a AF (American Fine) set of sockets & bits (Teng tools do a set covering all the sizes for £40) + a good ratchet + possibly 2 torque wrenches one from 10nm-40nm and another from 40nm-100nm.

Thanks for that.

Good to see you back on the forum gt85.

OK call me thick (and I know you all will) but I was always told that AF was across flat...standing by for someone to correct me

I've always known it as that as well. However, I believe the other definition is also correct

If your dreams don't scare you, they are not big enough.

American fine describes a thread pitch, AF in relation to tools is indeed 'across flats' and is normally applied to imperial stuff, although a 13mm spanner could accurately be described as 13mm AF, as in across flats.

Have you tried the archive section of this forum followed by the search function of the next .... ? not being a PiTA but it is still there somewhere ...

I did try that before I posted. It's a day or two since I posted but it seemed that my search terms either generated zero responses or hundreds. I did wade through the list generated in response to the word 'tools' but couldn't find what I was looking for. That's when I thought I'd use some of the smarter computers (you lot) to speed up my search of the TOM (aka computer aka Totally Obedient Moron).
