whats a good list of tools or a t
oolkit for a himalayan

[oldphart]

You get the factory tool kit, then your own tool kit. You start at the front of the bike and work backwards. Every time  you find you have to get a tool from your own kit, put it to one side. At the end of the exercise, buy new tools to replace the ones you put to one side.
Simples 

It also depends on how  you're going to carry them. If you can carry a tool roll or similar, you can replace the stamped metal 'spanners' with real ones.
