CG250/Hawk CB250 XTR and other valve adj tool

NzBrakelathes · 12-20-2018, 09:43 AM

Would it help folk to have the tool to adjust valves easily for CG or CB?
CB is a 10mm nut and 3.5mm square - tool is a lever n socket welded on and the adjuster nut tool thru the top - I found it super easy compared to other common tools

That would come in handy.

I wouldn't mind getting my hand on one of those just to keep on the bike. My current setup works reasonably well - a small adjustable wrench and a small 10mm combination wrench - but it can be quite fiddley sometimes.

That's what I do now.

Add me in for 1. Those little nuts always advance just tighter than I wanted. It's comical to watch me fidget for the right spot.... The language from the workshop is NSFW.

I was thinking of offering either a set of 3 or the tool for the CG or CG at $12 posted.
The feeler gauges here are very horrible I could make a small set for riders etc.
The tool would be just $12 with postage but before I go gun HOO I either need to buy a adjuster for a CG or send 1 person the tool for a review etc

Update - some stainless feeler gauges.

This would do the Hawk etc fine I am sure - some length 4 inches plus the tool would suit owners well? Thoughts please

I have been on the look out for the Hawk or bike like you guys get in the USA - But no luck as the left overs I find are all some what differ and then I cannot test fit check and be sure what I sell WILL fit your bikes etc

Ah...this is the thread

Nice job on the kit NZ. The feeler gauge is the perfect size and tool looks to be decent quality. I like that you threw in the valve cover gasket too.

I'll use it over the weekend and report back. Thanks.
