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
Excellent product,really good value and quick delivery
Good product, fit perfect with very good price and fast delivery, good communication, good seller, highly recommended
Great little tool and great service from Bikers Toolbox
This is one of those things that make you think ‘I wish I’d got one earlier!’. Simple effective and clean.
I used a smear of red rubber grease on the nipples, perfect. My six pot is notoriously difficult to bleed and it was done in minutes…
Recommended!
O.e.m. quality...please make sure to indicate how many in a pack ...I've ended up with 3 packs of 4 instead of just 3 off
Very pleased with the product, price and service from Bikers Toolbox . Always use them for all my quality builds

Good value crimping tool that works well.
Excellent product, fast delivery, thank you very much.
What can I say, Ralph does his research and never stocks anything he doesn’t use himself. He always looks out for the biking community and his prices reflect that, this is a unique service that deserves to be fully supported b my all us home mechanics whenever possible. Top marks for service and top marks for products.
