Here is what I use the most:
set of T handle Metric Allens
set of Metric sockets
set of Metric combination wrenches
Torque wrench (Cyber says bar type, I like clicker)
Suzuki oil filter wrench (for removal)
set of Metric allen sockets
18mm spark plug socket
set of screwdrivers
Bel-ray chain Lube
WD-40
Scott Shop towels
my Clymer repair manual
set of feeler gauges (for valve adjustments)
parts from Special K
Other than an oil drain pan I can't think of anything else I have used yet.
EDIT: All of my tools unless otherwise noted are Craftsman.AMA member # 224227

That I don't know. Mine is a '96 750. Try Haynes. They are as good, some like them better. You can also get in addition to or instead of, a Suzuki repair manual. They are all up on Ebay pretty regularly. I actually bought mine at the dealer when I was getting an OEM oil filter and a filter wrench.AMA member # 224227

Don't forget the wheel stands. I wish I had them everytime I go to work on mine. I am waiting till I have a garage to work in again, and I will DEFINATELY have a pair as soon as I move.

I can't recommend specific tools, but I will tell you to buy decent quality tools. You do not need to spend big bucks on SnapOn or Mac, but the super cheap $10 800 piece wrench socket sets are usually not worth the money. Craftsman make a good tool for home use at a reasonable price.
