Ya'll will need a 65 mm socket for the rear wheel.
Dealer didn’t even have one, yet.
I got a couple from Amazon for $ 26 each a few days ago.

Is there no spanner in the tool kit for removing the rear wheel locknut?

Uhh, nope.Is there no spanner in the tool kit for removing the rear wheel locknut?
I like your sarcasm. The days of factory tool kits with enough tools to make emergency roadside repairs are long gone. My V85TT came with two hex key wrenches (to remove the tool tray and side covers for access to the battery and air filter), a spanner to adjust rear shock spring preload, and a nice plastic pouch. The bike also has a USB port to charge a mobile phone in order to call for a tow. At least the pouch is big enough to add a multi-bit screwdriver and a pair of pliers along with a ziplock bag containing the registration and insurance paperwork.Is there no spanner in the tool kit for removing the rear wheel locknut?

Scott is funny. Is there anything beyond a plastic screw driver and a Customer Care card? Does it even have a tool kit?
You just voided your warranty, you'll get a notice shortly. Yes, they can do that to you if you haven't got in the break-in miles.Today's speed run.....

You have forgotten. TONS of roads inland SD Co do it. I’m more concerned now with Steve’s comment above.A tad wreckless on the public roads don’t you think? 144mph?!?
Given that I am from San Diego, for the life of me I cannot think where you got up to that speed at all without major attention except perhaps Montezuma Highway.
The newer bikes come with a red pouch with a plastic reversible screwdriver, and allen wrench or two (the V85TT has molded slots in the tray those live), and a shock preload tool. That’s about it, not kidding.Again, I was being serious! Wow. Just wow.
Oh I can imagine. I know every road in San Diego County. Still 144mph is really incredibly reckless and completely disregarding of public safety and other human beings entirely and not something I think worth bragging or acting bravado about.You have forgotten.

When I ran with CW Mag, we terrorized all of SoCal on public streets in the name of "testing" -- including top speed testing out in Lancaster.Oh I can imagine. I know every road in San Diego County. Still 144mph is really incredibly reckless and completely disregarding of public safety and other human beings entirely and not something I think worth bragging or acting bravado about. That’s what track days are for.

That's an impressive speed for a new machine. I can't wait to uncork one and feed it some fuel. I have a dyno at my shop if you're curious.Nobody else on the road.
But of course. That makes it alright I’m sure…Nobody else on the road.
Was at 9000 rpm redline, so that may be all that's available.That's an impressive speed for a new machine. I can't wait to uncork one and feed it some fuel. I have a dyno at my shop if you're curious.
See my other questions above.
Likely. Orange, not far from Angel’s Stadium.Was at 9000 rpm redline, so that may be all that's available. Where's your shop at ?
Is this socket a good fit ?Ya'll will need a 65 mm socket for the rear wheel.
