Answer
Hi Billy.
 You will need a set of metric wrenches (open end, box end or combination) as well as a metric socket wrench set, screwdriver set (phillips #2 & 3 as well as standard) and (ideally) a torque wrench.

As far as the manual is concerned, your local bike shop as well as the local Honda dealership should either carry it or be able to order it for you, but there is also online, and through mail order in JC Whitney and Dennis Kirk catalogs (both are also online as well).

Good luck.
