if I had to start out buying tools specifically for my bike   I would start with 8,10,12,and 14 millimeter wrenches 6,8,10,12,and 14 mm sockets  and a ratchet ,extensions or T handle to drive them. A spark plug wrench  that will work on  your bike<some four strokes  can be a bear without the special little goofy thing that comes with the bike> . A few more different sizes  of screwdrivers  that fit the different screws  nicely. Metric Allen wrenches, a rubber mallet  a medium  ball pein hammer  a long punch a tape measure either two  very well made adjustable wrenches<medium to big> or the proper sized wrenches for your axles. Wire brush,rags , brake /contact cleaner, penetrating oil, duct tape ,epoxy and hand cleaner. And then  countless trips to sears  or the hardware store  to pick up the small incidentals   that  you  would come across  that you didnt think of before hand.

be careful  many a man :D   has  gone broke at the hardware store <:D  Tim Allen grunt> buying  tools  that  he  thinks  would be awesome to have  <kid in candy store , delusions of grandiour whatever the delusion is >  Buy  good tools  stay away from them K Mart  one kit does everything for 12.95  as soon as those tools  break not only will you have to buy another tool  but you will have to stop the blood  that is  oozing out of your knuckles.  Dont buy tools  that you arent going to use<unless you can with regarlar certainty  get somebody else to use them for you>.  pick the tools that feel comfortable in your hands   thin polished wrenches  are nice too look at  in the box  but  to tell you the truth  they hurt MY hand

If your ever in my neighborhood  and want to go shopping  at the hardware store I  am  more  than willing to give you a tour of my second home   :)
