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
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.
Quality product, fast service. Biker’s toolbox my first stop shop.
Nice tool kit,shipping a little dear -USA. Still nice.
Everything I’ve bought from here has been good quality at a reasonable price and delivered promptly 👍
Had a great conversation regarding my z900 rebuild,very informative
The device worked perfectly monitoring a battery issue that turned out to be due to a newly installed third party entertainment unit. It made it so simple to see what was going on. Worth every penny. I’m sure it will prove invaluable on my bike.
Quick efficient service supplying quality goods 👌
Perfect..
I asked advice from Ralph,before purchase.
I needed a specific set of circlip pliers.
He knew exactly what I needed for the job. They were Perfect.
Job done.
They are smaller than I thought they would be, but they have the levereage and cutting power of anything bigger. An asset to the toolbox, thanks.
It sprays chemicals from its bottle and doesn't leak. It comes in a handy plastic bag and as I bought four, some will be clean until I use them.
It comes in a clever box, with the software separate. The instructions are clear and precise, and I'll be using it in a week or so on my GPZ900r.
