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
Perfect as my aluminium ones were on their last legs
Good quality connector and terminals.
Perfect for a tidy wiring loom
Quality items delivered quickly.
Good crimps. Brilliant for joining wire and the shrink tube provided is a bonus. A used a crimping tool I already had and it worked fine
Great service, great items exactly as description 👍
The only way to work on Japanese bikes without knackering up the screw heads. Fit perfectly in to a hex adaptor or impact driver
Not used these yet, however, they appear to be good quality and also referenced from the Haynes Manual for the Ducati Scrambler 803 so I'm hopeful these will allow me to do the belt change with minimal issues.
Arrived quickly and does what it says on the tun. Thank you 😊
I fitted this on Bikers Toolbox Advice to my 1967 Positive Earth Triumph that I was fitting with LED indicators, but i wired the flasher with L to Live from the battery as advised ( normally L is to indicator and B to battery). It worked a treat
