I use a C spanner. YAMAHA STEERING STEM HEAD STOCK C SPANNER WRENCH ADJUSTER TOOL XJR FZR R1 R6 43 | eBay
£13.50
I am sure Busters/M&P. do them cheaper.

Yes I've used a C spanner in the past and they are ok at best as it's difficult to load the bearings accurately,it's much easy job with the socket.
