You want tools to clean the engine?


I beg you, please don't remove the engine. It will be 2015 before you figure out which way it goes in!

Please, save the money and put it towards A few hours labour with a good mechanic.
Do this before u buy any more tools or parts. They'll hopefully fix your problems and you can finally enjoy riding your bike - before your thread hits 150 pages & bike still doesn't run.

Your not going to get a decent tool kit for under £100 , you will be able to buy a few decent bits to start building one up , look for stuff like halfords professional , teng ect ect .

You'd be better finding some one who can help you and is willing to use his or her tools on your bike , see what used the most and they but those parts to start .

Agree with all the above! A few hours with someone who nows what they are doing will pay lots of dividends. And summers arrived, you need it fixed!

Clean the engine?

I don't understand what you mean? What do you think you'll achieve by cleaning the engine?
