megawatt Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Screws on my Bandit were 3 or 4 mm square? Not slotted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weebl Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 It would work on mine as well. Saying that though, it is a lot of money for a tool that would get used once in a blue moon, and the job is not exactly hard with a normal screwdriver and a ring spanner?The handle may make it slightly easier to hold the screw absolutely still while you do up the nut, but 30 odd quid easier? not for me to just work on my own bike. (If I was a garage then yes, saving half an hour every time I did the job and doing it a lot would make it worth it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggie Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 not just to make it easier to do the nuts, apparently you dont need to use feeler gauges with this either,as you say, it is a lot of money though for a not often done job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin the Bear Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Mine has screw and locknut tappets. Screw head is an allen. Had a right performance when I accidently dropped the allen key. Had to take the engine out of the frame and shake it out. Still not worth £30 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
