Just found this it states not for Honda, but from my experience the screws on the carbs are slotted or you can use a small socket I think 7-8mm. item number on flea bay 390349421203.
Just go to a supermarket and buy some marigolds :D

i just get in there quick i dont fuck about, touch wood havent burnt myself YET

Carbtune is easy to use on the V4. Got mine few years ago, a great tool and I bought it together with the 90degrees angle driver to set the carbs accordingly. Value for money. See morgans website.

Just to remind everyone, there's 3 CarbTune's on eBay at the moment for £65 - don't forget that there's currently a group buy happening some time in January where you can pick one up for £50!
