what tools?
I am about to purchase an enduro, not sure which one yet and also 2 ct70 clones and am not sure what tools I might need that I don't have. I have multiple socket sets from 1/4 drive up to 3/4 drive, chain breakers and rivet setters a shop full of welding and cutting equipment, drills, grinders and dremels but I don't have a shock spanner and am not sure what to buy.
Also I have seen torque wrenches used ( on youtube maybe ) that read in inch pounds. I don't own a torque wrench and haven't used one in 30 years or more so I have no idea if I need one for ft pounds and 1 for inch pounds or not or how to know a good one from a poor one. I would love some input and links if possible to help guide me to the proper tools I will need to set these bikes up properly and make sure everything is torqued to the right value. I am old so I prefer analog stuff but if you have had success with digital I am willing to try. Many Thanks |

You more than likely have all the tools you will need minus the torque wrench. Minimum tools are needed. There's only a hand full of different size bolts on these bikes. Most of which will come in the cheap little tool pouch that comes with the bike. An inch lbs torque wrench will about all you need. If you been wrenching long as i have you will have that built in torque wrench that's finely tuned form years of breaking bolts.

If it were me, I'd just buy a torque wrench that has a lower range, but reads in ft-lbs, as an in-lbs gauge won't cover stuff like engine mounting brackets or axles. Like a 5-75ft-lb range. Inch-lb is largely unnecessary unless you're ham-fisted with these bikes.

A set of JIS screw drivers is always a good idea.

I appreciate it. The whole goal was to try and cut down on questions that got asked often. It isnt perfect, but it is something.
