    Best source for OEM factory tools?

    Hi folks: I'm in a bit of a quandary here... I'm currently attempting to disembowel/rebuild the USD shocks from a 1994 Yamaha YZF750, and the service manual states a lot of tools necessary to do this ("Rod Puller" part #90890-01437 and "Adapter" part #90890-01436 are examples.) I've...

    Tools

    I looked but I didn't see anything on this... My bike didn't have the tool kit in it. What tools should I get together to keep with the bike? What might I be expected to need on the roadside, besides the sparkplug wrench and tire patch kit? what's in that tool kit, anyway?
