hi Folks, I've started developing a tools list for my recently aquired camhead R1200RT (i.e. MY2012). I do this with each of my bikes so I can prepare for services. This is what I've got so far:-
Drain bung size = 8 mm allen key.
Clutch reservoir cap = T20 torx
Rear wheel = T50
Valve cover = T40
Muffler connection to frame = T45
Front = 22mm female hex.
Lower side fairings = T25
Has anybody got additions to this that they would like to share?

The tool for removing the front wheel spindle and a coil puller.
The GS 'is' the better bike :-)

I’d hope that’s his garage list, not his on-bike one, otherwise he’d need a good sized trailer for that lot!

Ironically, I have most of those tools in a small canvas bag in my right saddlebag
