Hey guys, looking into buying a pilot adjusting tool. I like the one below because it has a case and it appears to be bevel drive. Anyone have one?

Jeeeez... you guys have all the nice stuff.....

The tool I used is called a "skewdriver". Bought in my local discount tool store. I paid around €10 for it. Not as sweet as the tool that chris and bacchus have. I'm super envious of that now... cool tool.... I want one. :notworthy:

Yep I think I will order one to, as my home made one is sometimes a pain in the butt to use.

Chris or Bacchus , do you have any problem with being able to underneath any of the carbs without hitting anything? I have a motion pro that is basically useless on most of my bikes.

I've got one of the cheaper ones - works ok, but is difficult on #2 - like this one:

I have a motion pro that is basically useless on most of my bikes. to be honest, i have not used mine on a zl yet ! worked great on dad's little xs400 yamaha though ! maybe Bacchus can answer this one.
