This is what I have in my on-bike vinyl plastic tool bag that is kept in the rear seat compartment:

• 6mm, 5mm, 4mm, 3mm hex key
• 17mm / 14mm wrench
• 12mm / 10mm wrench
• 36 mm wrench (MADE IN JAPAN)
• 27 mm wrench (MADE IN JAPAN)
• Phillips & Flat head screw drivers
• Socket hex head multi-tool 16mm, 10mm
• Mini 5-inch slip joint pliers
• bottle jack lever?

What came with the bike when new?
Is there anything missing?
What are these tools for?

That looks like everything. It came from the factory with this kit. It's for roadside repairs if you happen to get caught out away from home.

For example, say you have a dead battery and the bike won't start. The 4mm hex key gets the seat bolts off to access the battery for a jump start.

I'm guessing the other tools are for getting the wheels off?

The wheels are a joke. Good luck breaking that rear nut loose with that 4" long wrench. The front wheel requires a special tool, which isn't included. About all this is good for is if you need to tighten up a control or something. I used it once to replace a clutch lever on a friend's bike.

I'm struggling to think where there is a 3mm allen bolt on the bike...

While I agree with you,

you know that flat/oval piece of metal next to the larger ones is to slip on those axle nut wrenches and get more leverage? It makes it ~7 inch lever? the thing in the pic that is NOT marked.

Isn't that longer folding multi tool also a spark plug wrench? In theory, with just those tools you could check/change the plugs too!

I wish I had the OEM took kit! My last few used bikes did not have it anymore!

Exactly, what is the 3mm hex key for??

• 6mm key for the mirrors.
• 4mm for the body cowling, front fairing
• screw driver for the licence plate, handle bar end caps

What is the 17mm, 14mm open wrench for?
What is the 27mm box wrench for?

So this same tool kit can go with multiple models..... It was used from 1996-2007
17 for the oil plug, but nothing is 27mm.

I reckon that's right. It's not really model specific.

Y and K1-3 bikes had 27mm front spindles, before the K4-5 recessed hex head spindle, hence the 27mm wrench.
