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.

item easy to use, good quality.
Perfect for tidying up my 1973 Yamaha trail bikes wiring
Used this for bleeding ABS unit BMW K1200s 2005. You can do some basic bleeding by just topping up the 4 reservoirs as you bleed, but you need to get quite a volume of brake fluid going through the ABS systems before all pockets of air are flushed through. The funnel end screwed in ok but didn't seat well and all the fluid leaked out initially. Problem resolved using lots of PTFE tape tightly wound round the rubber ring section that is supposed to act as a seal. This worked very well. I give 5 stars as I would say it is impossible to bleed all the complicated ABS /SERVO unit without this tool and it worked well in the end. Advise not putting too much fluid in initially when testing the seal, as if it leaks all contents will descend onto the ABS unit, then to the floor.
Ordered this for shipping to Australia & was happy with the time it took to arrive (albeit shipping from the UK to AU is expensive). The tool itself is good quality & works well.
Only used the set a couple of times so far but it appears to be good quality and the low profile feature has already been useful. The offer price made it excellent value for money
A good quality, easy to use crimp tool.
It looks a bit flaky but actually works really well, I had no trouble reassembling my 1951 Douglas.
Using for rewiring 1968 Triumph. Good upgrade from original.
Fuel hose was good quality. However I didn’t realise they were package and not cut from a reel. I ordered 2 meters thinking it would be one continuous length but instead got 2 packets with 1 meter in each.
A whole in one brake bleed kit making life easier, used and it works, I know, surprised most don’t, but this kit actually does work and at a great price, recommend shop at the biketoolbox, this is one a many many great tools. Thanks.
