I'm taking my triple trees off for the first time and was wondering if there is a specific tool for the "retaining ring" under the top tree. I'd rather buy the tool and use it, over using non-specific tools. I like doing things 100% correctly. Picture included to cut back on confusion. This is on a '93 900rr, if it matters. Thanks in advance to any responses!

 

flat head screwdriver and a hammer should work.

 

Hammer/screw driver was exactly what I was refering to with the "non-specific tools".
Thank you for the response though!

 

you need an adjustable spanner wrench

EDIT: HOLY **** though, I just looked at the price, don't buy that, they arearound $20 from k&l supply

 

Idle Hands, thanks. I'll call around until I find one.

pawel, after rereading my response to you it could come across as sarcasm. That wasn't the intention. Screwdriver and hammer was exactly the first thing that I thought of... but my OCD took over and slapped me in the face with "use the right tool, you tool". I'm a little picky when it comes to wrenching on things. Thanks again, for real... no sarcasm!

 

may use hammer and screwdriver, but just remember there's a torque spec on that when you put it back together. honda sells the tool for $20, or you can make your won with some time and a dremel.
