FAQs
Can I use this for motorcycle exhaust springs?
This tool is designed for small headlight and brake springs; it is not recommended for heavy-duty exhaust springs which may exceed the tool's strength capacity.
What material is the tool made of?
It is crafted from heat-treated alloy steel to ensure long-term durability and strength.
How wide is the T-handle?
The T-handle measures 75mm wide, providing a comfortable grip for controlled operation.
Does this tool come with a warranty?
The product is a professional-grade workshop tool manufactured by BikeService. Please check your specific retailer's warranty policy for BS0044.
Is the tool rust-resistant?
While made of durable alloy steel, it should be kept dry and wiped clean of debris to maintain its finish and performance.
Troubleshooting
Tool slipping off the spring loop
Ensure the hook is fully seated within the loop before applying tension. Use a steadier, more direct pulling motion.
Cannot reach the spring
Check if a fairing or secondary component is blocking access. If the spring is too deep, ensure the tool's 150mm length is sufficient for your specific model's architecture.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No specialized setup is required; the tool is ready for use immediately out of the package. It is compatible with most motorcycle makes and models that utilize standard coil tension springs for lighting and braking. To maintain the tool, wipe the steel hook with a clean cloth after use to remove grease or road debris. Store it in a dry, organized toolbox to prevent surface oxidation, and avoid using the tool as a lever for heavy prying, as this can fatigue the alloy steel hook.
