Tools needed for valve adjustment and carb sync.

[doblerj14]

I am about to do my first valve adjustment and carb sync on my 05 kat 600 and was wondering what tools I would need. I have a 150 piece craftsman socket set. But am not sure what else I would need.

If you don't have the valve tappet tool you can get away with a Robertson screw in a dowel or even held with vice grips.

Since it's your first time doing it I always recommend taking pictures as you go so you get the wiring and cable's routing right when you put it back together.
