Trust me man, its not just Bajaj. Almost every manufacturer skimps when it comes to give a decent tool kit. I got the Hyosung toolkit with my Aquila and trust me, even thats useless.

I'm myself looking for a good toolkit in Bangalore and let you know about it once I have some details. Where are you from BTW ?

Tools are like toys for grown men, and are typically collected over a lifetime.

If on a low budget, I would recommend that you start by buying only the tools & sizes you actually need for your motorcycle.

Start by buying a Taparia ratchet in metric sizes (mm). Along with this, buy the bit (socket) sizes specific to your motorcycle for:

1. Rear wheel axle
2. Rear Wheel Sprocket main nut
3. Front Wheel axle
4. Engine Oil drain nut
5. Any other hard to open/reach nut and/or bolt

This will set you back by about ~Rs. 300 for the ratchet, plus about 60 for each bit. Take your motorcycle to the store so you can try before you buy to ensure the best fit.

If you can, start by buying a set which would come in its own plastic/metal case for efficient storage.

The other tools/accessories you can look at buying are:

1. A high quality large multi-screwdriver with its assortment of bits.
2. A good pair of pliers.
3. Open and ring spanners for specific items on the bike.
4. If your bike uses allen bolts, then buy the specific bolt(s) sizes needed.
5. An oil can
6. A high quality tyre pressure gauge

Thanks for your replies.

I am from Bhopal working in pune.

I have also heard that Castrol Bike Zones charge Rs.100 over the normal service amount&teach you (they stand&make you do everything) to service your own bike. This could be worth it! We can learn how to drain oil etc.

Search in youtube. You'll find lots of videos of guides to change oil, clean filter, change oil filter, chain adjustment etc.

If its true then great news for me !! cos right now all i know is to change oil and filter and carburator mix setting .

a bit OT, but nevertheless.

See, opening the EO drain nut i agree is an impossible feat when u don't know about the small trick which I'm gonna tell you.

The toolkit that comes with the bike is more than sufficient.

Put the bike on main stand. Start on a cold bike, maybe 1st thing in the morning. run the engine for around 1 minute. Now switch off the engine, take out the heaviest tool available in your toolkit, the EO Nutdriver and the screwdriver.

Put the nut driver around the nut, and try opening it. 99.9999 % the nut won't budge :|

Now put the screwdriver against the nut flange and hammer hard using the heavy tool at 3 positions on the nut flange 120 degrees apart.

Try opening with nut driver now. Presto - it should come loose now.

If it starts loosening, warm the bike up fully for 5 mins before draining EO.

Remember to take it off main stand and put it on side stand while draining and refilling.

why so?

While draining i can understand, but during refilling oil??!!?

i don't have a perfect reason, but that's what it says on my owner's manual.
