Honda maybe just figures people won't be randomly doing oil changes, drive chain adjustments, or other routine maintenance by the side of the road. EFI has done away with the possibility of a lot of roadside repairs... it's not like the old days of taking apart a carb to to unplug a pilot jet.
I've never used any of the crappy "made in Bangladesh" tools supplied with Japanese bikes to do maintenance work in the shop... I've got quality tools to use for that. For "on the bike" tool kits, I've always just put together my own sets.
Today I tried to change the engine oil and filter too. but the funny thing is I just couldn't find the tool to loose the under cowl!! I have these tools got with my bike..

Doesn't look like you got the spark plug socket either?
You got toolS with yours? Mine came with a 5mm hex key -- tha's ALL.
I have since added enough to do an oil change, and I'll be adding more as I do other routine chores; I've done routine tasks with the tool kit that came with each motorcycle I've owned, adding tools as needed, and it results in a pretty good set of tools to have along if something goes bad on the road . . . .
I'll have to check, but I'm pretty sure I got one of those flat stamped-steel wrenches too.
You know, the kind you get when you buy Danish furniture that you have to assemble yourself? The kind you throw out right after you're done? LOL.
