This tool is used to hold the bucket down on classic Kawasaki Z1 based engines whilst the shims are changed. Using a spanner or socket on the end of the crankshaft, you turn the crank until the lobe of cam, for the valve you are working on, compresses the spring pushing the bucket down. You then insert the tool so that the little spiggott just holds the edge of the bucket, being secured by the supplied 6mm cap screw inserted in one of the threaded holes used to hold down the cam cover ordinarily. Once the tool is in place, the cam can be backed off by turning the crank the other way. Now the shim can easily be removed. The easiest method is the use a pair of forceps and a slim magnetic pick up tool. Whilst this tool does work the genuine Kawasaki tool is a better bet, but you do pay for the superior tool.

Let customers speak for us
Nice tools that are easy to handle and use!
Well made and right for the job
Great little set for the money. I'd already got a six-piece set of JIS screwdrivers and some individual ones but was loath to leave them at the bike-shop i work in so i bought these and am more than happy.
The set is doing everything i could ask of it and provides better access most of the time in tight-spots.
Good quality tool
Great stuff, delighted I came across you. Would recommend to anyone 🤟⚡️🤟
Perfect for the job,quick delivery, reasonable price.
Great item
Thanks
Just what I wanted thanks
Just what the Doctor ordered, great shop.
I've given 5 stars for looks but I haven't used it yet.
Good quality
Good item, well designed especially being so flat on the wheel nut: it makes very easy and feels less probe to slide out of the bolt…

Easy to order, prompt delivery.
Seals exactly right for the job.
Quite a small strobe than I’m used to, but works very well. Light in weight and easy to handle.
