My tool kit only came with the handle for the screw driver, helmet holder, sponge and an allen wrench. thats it. Honda doesnt supply a full tool kit anymore.

Most bikes adjust front preload with either a wrench or socket of the appropriate size. You shouldn't need a special tool for it. My 600RR uses a 22mm wrench.

bikes come with the ****tiest pot metal atrocities to ever be called tools, invest in a good basic tool set if you ever plan on turning a fastener on your bike, your nuts will thank you lol

but a socket like abadfish suggested, or an open end wrench, or adjustable crescent wrench would even be fine for that

Okay got another question the pre load adjusters with the marker that says ten on it. I adjusted all the way to stiff then adjusted to somewhere half way. Does the H/S have to be centered? When I start to adjust it do I just use the full stiff as the full clockwise or at the top to center. Im just trying to zero it in. Or does those markers matter. Or just ignore it and just know which is way is full soft to hard.
