Many bikes, especially classic two strokes like Kawasaki H1, H2, S1, S2, S3, KHs etc had inaccurate ignition marks from the factory, some so bad that if you timed the bike from them you would be holing pistons! Many factory workshop manuals admit this. Many set the timing mark as a piston height before TDC (Top Dead Centre). This means that you screw the applicable adapters into the spark plug hole to hold the dial gauge in the correct place and turn the engine over until the piston is shown by the dial gauge indicates the piston to be at the top of the stroke or TDC. You can then turn the engine backwards until the dial indicates that you have dropped the correct amount eg Kawasaki S2 fires with the piston at 2.4mm before TDC (BTDC) and you can then re-mark the flywheel or back plate correctly. This kit contains a dial gauge, extensions for the dial gauge plunger, adapter for the dial gauge and an extension for this adapter and adapters to fit 10mm, 12mm and 14mm plug holes. This is a professional set but, as can be seen from the photo, the plating on some of the adapters leaves a bit to be desired. Whist we don't like the quality of finish it is a perfectly useable product at a very good price.

Let customers speak for us
Nice compact piece of kit that doesn’t clutter up the tool box too much. Really easy to use and ensures chain is running true .I should’ve bought one years ago!!
Excellent tool for precise measurements and a good price.
Firstly the product represents good value and is perfect for my needs. Ordering was easy, communication was brilliant and delivery was trouble free. Thanks for the sticker and the Haribo nice touch
Really pleased with this tool. Well made and robust and first class quality.
A really decent measuring instrument. A good quality "feel' to it. Also a nice box to keep it in, stop it rattling around in your toolbox. Not just a cheap thin plastic wallet. I will be keeping and using this for a long time.
Strangely though, it has NO vernier scale, and so is not really a VERNIER caliper. Strange but true!
Very happy with the vernier calipers, and quick delivery.
Ralph does it again…….i cannot praise Bikers Toolbox highly enough. I buy all my tools from Ralph, simply because he truly deserves our business. Proof again with the Digital Vernier Caliper I recently bought from him. Top quality tools that he is prepared to pass on for a price that is an absolute bargain, he genuinely doesn’t need to offer these prices, but the fact he does is absolutely gold in the motorcycle community. Thanks!!!
Haven’t used them yet but they look good..
Spot on, super quick delivery. Thanks for the complimentary chew 😁 I will come straight back to you if I need more tools, especially for my older bikes
I've bought them to work on Japanese carburettors
