As some of you will know I now have two VTR's both with two different tools kits.
Common parts
Black plastic holder
C spanner with flat tube extension
Spark plug spacer hidden in black bag
Other than that both have different content.
Ring spanners open, ended spanners, two different spark plug sockets ( one does not even fit the spark plug WTF is that all about) screw driver with two inserts.
Does anyone have a list or a picture? I have heard of a tank C clip but never seen one
Cheers

All that's missing from the list is the warning that the tools are all made from the finest Japanese copied Wensleydale cheese.

Re: Tool kit for the VTR
The "plug maintenance bar" they list is the thing you've heard of.
It's merely a 5mm hex key, but in a U shape with squared off corners, if that makes sense.
It slips into the tank rear pivot bracket, the other end goes through the tank rear mount so as to hold it about 50mm above it's normal mounted position.
When you pivot the tank up at the front you can then access the airbox and rear plug without having to disconnect the tank connector pipes.
Waste of time, really, just whip the tank off and work on it properly.
Anyway, if it slips it chips paint of the rear of the tank, that little tongue that slips under the seat.
But really, get rid of the toolkit, and put in something made of real metal, except for the spark plug spanner.
Oh, and you need TWO c spanners, not one, to adjust the headstock bearing.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
