tool kit required

[ultraculture1...]

Hi, im just getting back into bikes at 36 after a brief affair with 'crossers' as young tear away/toe rag. I have settled on an early 90s late 80s traily 2 stroke (from the amount of threads ive read on here probably the gazzilionth to do so, it seems theyre either stolen, broken, seized or green laned) so it either a pukka recently rebuilt 88 dtr or a so so kmx.
I havent got any mechanical experience but am good with my hands and a quick learner. My only issue is tools, i have very few and none that are going to be of use so does anybody know where i can buy a specific 2 stroke tool kit or could anybody tell me bits that are going to be handy in the tear down, fix and rebuild of two strokes and bikes in particular. If anybody has any knowledge of the kmx and kips valve in particular advice would be most welcome. I literaly cant wait to get that 2 stroke power valve smile again. Namaste

Halfords Pro tools are quite highly regarded. They often have some kind of special offer on.

The bits worth spending a bit on are a decent socket set and a torque wrench which is accurate around the 10-40 nm range, for head bolts.

Otherwise 2-strokes are simple. A hide hammer is worth having for knocking together fragile cases with new bearings. Feeler gauges. A decent gasket scraper and razor blades. A collection of drifts, threaded rod and washers for removing and installing bearings. Old toothbrushes and small screwdrivers for cleaning up small fiddly things that are covered in gunk.

Oh, and a decent workshop torch, preferably an LED panel one with a magnetic base and a hook.

Cheers buddy, not going to need to shell out on makita impact wrench or owt yet then, I suppose anything i buy will be a one of purchase and should last me a while.
