a general set like that has pretty much all you'll need. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/store...yId_255215 that and a good set of screwdrivers and you'll be able to most service things.
but a bit of a warning if you're totally new to servicing stuff then there is a learning curve and you're pretty much guaranteed to break things. maybe the odd rusty bolt or rounding of a screw. that's annoying and can cause big trouble but its part of learning. but some people just aren't suited to fixing stuff at all and seem to break things just by looking at them. there's nothing wrong with that so long as you know where to draw the line and say right well i'm doing more damage than good so i'll stop. having said that a bit of common sense goes a long way and if you take you're time and start off with small jobs and build you're skills up slowly you should be grand and you'll end up with a bike that's on the money hopefully
