You aren't going to be able to balance them on the bike without a bevel 90 degree pilot screwdriver from http://www.carbtune.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. Best tool I ever bought, excellent quality.

Which manual have you got, JP? The factory version (only £10 and I`ve got them in stock) has routing diagrams for pretty much every wire, cable and hose on the bike...

Money Sent.
Thanks for all your help I will try that.
I assume that it can't be done without the expensive 90 degree screwdriver??
Thanks once again.

it seems people who havnt much experience with working on bikes are understandibly intimidated and easily defrauded, i mean come on pay X pound for a 90' screwdriver wtf, just bend an old one and saw its handle short! your gona burn your hands on the water pipe conduit inbetween the v's, put a dishcloth over it, and youl need to balance from #2 cylinder's screw because all the springs from the other linkage seats are actuated from this one.. just play around with the screw depths until they all correct, and only balance once bike at operating temp with choke off

Thanks for the help.It is all much appreciated.
It's not so much lack of experience it is all about a new bike and getting each others knowledge.
Thanks anyway
