That's Honda's way of cutting the weight down on the ST. LOL!
Yeah, they started that in 06, a piece of foam and a allen wrench. Some have said they got the dealer to order them one in but not sure if you will be able to con your dealer into helping out with that one.
I've never been impressed with those tool kits anyway. We just put our own together.

You got gipped!
Yep, don't need no stinkin' tools since '06 cuz honda now has the super stealthy self-regenerating parts (shhhh, it's a secret).

Actually, it's a highly compressed tool kit that happens to look like a 6mm allen wrench. If your ST needs emergency service, according to page 462 of the Combined Owners Manual, immersion of the "tool" in the indicated solution and will restore the tool kit to the pre-2005 OEM kit. They warn that this transformation is a one-way event and that proper precautions should be taken.
Most of us seem to be missing that page so we cobble together the excellent tool kit suggestions here (adding significantly to the weight and compelxity of the older generation took kits).
And calling it a "tool kit" is an exaggeration.

The Honda dealer told me that the single allen wrench was all I needed. That allen wrench fit the majority of the bolts on the bike. Haven't checked yet. Bike is only a couple of weeks old and has less that 100 miles on it. 2006 St1300.

That allen wrench will allow you to remove the side covers to access battery and fuses.
