When I lost my 14mm hex key in Morocco I had one made up using an M12 (?) bolt which has the 14mm head with a small T-bar welded across the other end of the bolt to provide purchase.

Spark plug removal ?
 
Has anyone tried to use the spark plug socket supplied in the "factory toolkit".:eusa_wall:
Would anyone know where/part # for a socket to remove the spark plug. I know it's 18mm but any I've tried, one would need to throw in a lathe & turn the O/D down to fit in the narrow area in the head :hmh:

I thought there may have been some response to this :104:

The one supplied does fit... but you need to cut it down to 65-70mm and drill a new through-hole to insert a screwdriver to turn it.

Trouble is the tool kit supplied is a generic Yamaha one and thus doesn't really suit any specific bike. Like the plug box spanner, it fits the spark plug and recess of the 660 motor, but not in the Tenere's application because the AIS gubbins gets in the way!

I've also replaced mine with a shorter one that fits the space on the Tenere

Tool kit
 
Hi my 2014 tenere came with a 10 mm allen key that did not fit anything, you need a long series 14 mm Allen key for the front Axel and a 22 mm spanner or socket for the rear Axel. My spark plug box spanner will undo the spark plug but you then need to unscrew it with you fingers if you leave the box spanner on you can't get the plug out.:laughing7:

I believe the tool kits are slightly different between earlier and later models as the production moved from Italy to Spain and then to France. They're still generic, utterly useless and the items within (which actually fit something) are made of cheese. France is of course famed for its cheese, so I'd guess the tool kits supplied from 2012 onwards are probably the best of the bunch! ;)

I don't have this problem, just got my XTZ and it ain't got one. Any tools I 'must have' when I make up a kit. I can work out most of it for myself so anything odd, I wouldn't think of.

I won't be going around the world and I've got recovery.

Oh, mine is a 2009.
