Engine Tools

For Maintenance or Repair Tasks, you Need XLMOTO Engine Tools

Are you carrying out routine maintenance or rebuilding your engine? Either way, a good tool kit is essential. XLMOTO has a wide selection of excellent quality, specialised engine tools for even the most challenging jobs. You'll find everything you need here, from a motorcycle piston ring compressor to a spark plug wrench, all at great value. Working on a motorbike doesn't always go to plan. To keep engines as compact as possible, manufacturers have ingenious ways of creating max output in the minimum of space. This feature is great for maneuvering through traffic or lifting your bike onto the main stand. However, the compact design means you need special tools for maintenance or when stripping down an engine. Let's look at the different types of job-specific engine tools XLMOTO has to offer.

Clamping tools

Often it feels like you need three hands when tackling specific engine jobs. So this is where clamping tools are useful. For instance, when lowering the cylinders over the pistons. This task is tricky, but not so much if you add a motorcycle piston ring compressor to your kit. This helpful tool allows you to lower the cylinder without fear of damaging the piston rings. In this section, you will also find clutch-holding tools. These are capable of clamping the clutch in position while you loosen the securing fasteners.

Valve clearance tools

Most modern motorcycles use shims to produce the correct valve clearance. Unfortunately, as the miles clock up, the valve clearance narrows, and performance suffers. For this reason, XLMOTO offers everything from make-specific valve shim tools to an assortment of replacement shims in graduated sizes.

Adjusting tools

It is often possible to adjust a component while it remains in place for engine maintenance. A perfect example of this is the carburettor, which may need tick-over or mixture fine-tuning. This job becomes easier thanks to individual or small tool sets capable of accessing the often tiny and recessed adjusters. If your motorcycle runs a carburettor, you may also have manually adjustable exhaust and inlet valves. To make the job easier, check out XLMOTO's valve clearance adjustment tools.

Wrenches

Are you serious about working on your engine? Then apart from a set of open-ended and ring spanners, you'll also need a range of specialist wrenches. XLMOTO’s selection of wrench tools includes everything you need, from an extended motorcycle spark plug wrench to brand-specific camshaft wrenches. The most popular range of specialist wrenches covers external oil filter removal. Oil filter wrenches are available in two styles. Over-size sockets in various diameters cover hexagonal filters. Meanwhile, strap wrenches are suitable for hexagonal and cylindrical oil filters.

Engine stripping tools

You'll need specialist engine tools when stripping an engine down to its final nut and bolt. For camshaft or crankshaft removal, you will often discover that you need a specific tool or component to lock it in place. For these jobs, check out brand-specific camshaft gear linkage tools, crankshaft locking tools, and more.

Whatever your skill level, for motorcycle maintenance or repairs, you can rely on XLMOTO to have the best tools for the job.
