The bike I ride daily is a '99 Triumph Thunderbird Sport. It's given me good service for 5 years and the local Triumph dealer has done a good (maybe expensive) job of keeping it working for me. How much work do I do on one of the modern machines? Almost NOTHING! I replaced the battery a couple of times and replaced the spark plugs ONCE.  I'll let the guys who have the experience and the money for all the necessary gear do the work.

Knowlege of things like shim removal tools is something I don't even want to deal with. Sorry, I just can't help.
