I think it is the extension handle for the C spanner...

To be honest, everything (except the combi 10x12mm spanner) in the stock tool kit is sh!t... the toe-rag did you a favor Tim!

There is a thread on here called Tools (which I think Molgan started), plus also my packing light thread with the contents of my trail tool kit...

But off the top of my head, I'd buy a Leatherman Kick (good blade and screwdrivers, but none of the other crap).

14mm Hex for the front axle.

22mm ring spanner (or socket) for the rear axle.

8/10/12/13/14/17 sockets should do everything on the bike (engine bolts the lot), plus a T-handle (folding if you want to fit it in the original toolkit space). You'll probably need a 3/8th drive for the 17 and 22mm sockets, but personally I like a 1/4 inch for the 8/10/12/13/14mm sockets...

a 10/12mm combi spanner - two if you must (for adjusting the chain), but I find one is sufficient if you've put copper-slip on the threads...

4/5/6mm allen keys.

Erm, that's it I think...

That little lot should still fit in the space in the tank the OEM kit went in.

ps. You've got the plug spanner size - it's the same as a Honda XR650R as I recall too x
