I didn't know which one of these posts to reply to, this post is actually to all of them.
I had thought that there couldn't possibly be a bike harder to get into than my ST2. I was wrong. The KTM 990 Adventure is even a bigger pain and nobody has come up with a Dzus quick fix for it that I know of.
At least the toolkit includes anything you would need to open it up. I just put two new tires on that bike and only needed two tools from the kit to get both wheels off and back on again. And rear wheel alignment was trivial as well.
The bike that's easy to get into is my Honda XR650L. It's often necessary to take the seat and tank off, but that only takes a few minutes and then everything is out in the open.
I wish that the designers of both cars and motorcycles could put just a little thought into easily performing maintenance and repairs on them.
