Resurrecting Rusty - My CB400F - Valve Clearances - tools
SeanFD:
Thanks.
I had a look on EBay and found this:

It's cheaper and gives more options it seems. Hope it works too!
Oddjob:
Can't ever remember it being 9mm but it was a long time ago.
Screwdriver slot, so not the square drive.
That BTW is the top tool in the link you posted.

I saw them but the 12-pointed socket put me off, I prefer the 6 points as it has less chance of slipping.
Laverda Dave:
This is the perfect tool you need to adjust the clearance. It fits over the square end of the tappet adjuster. Use a ring spanner over the lock nut and this over the square adjuster that way you can tighten the lock nut whilst holding the adjuster at the correct clearance. Failure to hold the adjuster whilst tightening the lock nut will cause the clearance to close up.

I thought the same about the 12 points, but then the torque on the nut is not too high.
I looked at the Honda tappet adjusting tool; in the shop manual the part number is 07908-0010000 which is different from the one above - 07708-0030400. Are they the same size?
