Techy Advice Needed

Post by mr.john.coates »

What's the double-ended Allen key thing supplied in the standard Honda toolkit for? It's a length of hex bar bent to an asymetric 'U' shape...

its a tank stand. when you change your rear spark plug it is used to prop the rear of the tank instead of taking the tank off

To support/hinge the tank to get access under the tank - it goes in the rear tank mount after the bolt is out. Works well in parallel with a length of 1x1 to prop the front of the tank up.
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
