Every US bike should have a tool kit. No shock preload adjustment tool, though I've had enough bikes, that I have always had one. Didn't even pay for it. A Harley shop gave it to me. I guess every new aftermarket shocks come with one, so the techs always end up with extras in their tool box. Always worth asking, but in any case, the dealer will adjust the shocks for free, and a spanner wrench can be bought for less than $15. It's nice having the dealer adjust it, but having your own wrench is good if you need to adjust the preload for a passenger, and gears, and back to solo riding.

If something breaks on the CB that shuts down my ride, I call a tow truck. Has anyone really repaired a modern Honda roadside with a tool kit? Pliers, zip ties, a razor knife, and tire sealant will usually be enough to get one into town for real repairs.

Tire repair kit when I'm traveling. One is on my tailbag for the ride to and from the rally. Couple spare fuses, but knock on wood I have never used one, and 3 ounces of oil in a little bottle rolled up in a rag but I have never needed it either. old habits are hard to break.

My Canadian CB came with a two-part hook wrench for rear preload included in the tool kit. It was a nice surprise, as I was expecting to go buy one. Seems odd that not all N/A bikes would have the same toolkit.

At the very least I like to have access to the battery, and even though it's rather easy, you do need the screw driver provided in the tool kit to get to it. I put my spanner wrench in there, and some fuses too. I put a flat tire repair kit in the storage box , and a USB charger that plugs right into my battery pig tail so I don't ever get stranded with a dead phone, given that I have service of course. ADV riders always talk about what tools they pack, because they might get stuck on some path up some mountain, but in 20 years of riding, I've never had to use any tools, except for my flat tire repair kit, once. However, I like the Honda tool kit, because every thing you need to get access to the battery or remove the side covers is there with the bike. It obviously was meant as a convenience tool kit rather than for on the side of the road repairs.
