Just had my right fairing off & discovered I didn't get one either!!! Kinda makes me mad!! I've heard the tools are pretty chinsy, but hey for the $$$ we spent on a new RR we oughta get something right?? [:@]

honda stopped giving tool kits starting w/the 06's. everyone i know w/an 06 didn't have one but one guy actually had it in his. must have gotten lucky.

Yeah, the "tool kit" is an allen wrench that can be used to take off the fairings and that is about it. You can order an upgraded tool kit from Honda, but it's kind of expensive. I don't remember how much though. I was a little upset that they stopped including them as well. I had to call the dealership to find out what was going on. They did it to save money.

My 2006 came with the above tool kit, and just bought the wife one also and hers came with one too. Different dealer for each. In Canada tho so maybe different here.

Im pretty sure the US models came with that strap/cable thing, and one allen key..

RE: tool kit
 

Really sucks they can't include that now. I mean there are a couple of things in there that would really come in handy in a pinch.

Would anyone care to spell out exact sizes & items so some of us 06 owners can build our own??? Would be MUCH appreciated.

Actually kinda ticks me off they don't. Yet the manual advertises it being there. FALSE advertising. Misleading.

How much to buy that kit outright?

On a brigher note! No wonder 06 RRs are FASTER than all other year models!! THEY're LIGHTER!!!!!:D:D:D

Thanks,

check ebay. i see complete tool kits on there every now and then... usually in the $15-25 range. not too bad.

RE: tool kit
 

my 06 came with the helmet strap and allen key, thats about.

RE: tool kit
 

My 06 came with a full tool kit, but it wasn't in the bike. the sales guys remove them becasue people steal them all the time. same for the owners manuel.

RE: tool kit
 

I actually don't like where the tools are placed in the bike.

does anyone else have the same opinioN? Or is it just me?[&:]

RE: tool kit
 

Wow. Those of you that got toolkits should feel pretty special. I got my 06 and the dealer says some comment like, "There is a toolkit inside the right fairing on your bike and it includes a helmet strap."
I went home and started to explore my new addition to the family and looked into the "toolkit".
I got this plastic bag, allen wrench that is toothpick thin, and a helmet strap. I was so overjoyed that honda gave me all of these great tools that render themselves absolutely useless.
That was just me going off on a tangent. Moral to the story is remove that crap and you just freed up 2 oz. of weight. So now I can get around the twisties much faster.
