Carb balancing note to self ........... check the pipes match left to right on the bike  ::)

Took best part of an hour with a coffee break whilst pondering why any adjustment wasn't reflecting where I thought it should on the gauge ..... then realising I'd got the tubes back to front !!!

Then the hardest part was snugging the lock nuts without altering the readings too much.

Result is though far less noise at idle and actually idles at 1050 no problem - and even a bit lower when really warmed up

And this is what I've always used. A simple 8X9 mm pipe wrench in combination with an ordinary wrench on top. I hope you can see in the pic, there's a piece of vinyl tube over it 1 cm from the pipe's end where the ordinary wrench goes, to prevent the latter from sliding down the pipe. Inside the pipe wrench an ordinary straw to narrow the passage to guide the appropiate screwdriver better. Not super, but it worked for me and cost nothing. You could also weld the wrench to the pipe, but I never bothered. Except for the screwdriver, both pipe and wrench fit in your Honda tool bag. Don't you love simplicity? ;)
