[benny13]

Hi lads, giving the fzr a service and I was checking the valve clearances and could only turn the cams by putting it into 1st gear and turning the back wheel

anyone know where could I get a tool for turning the crank.
or what it looks like(dimensions) so I could make one.

found that in cylinder #1,2 & 3 the middle valves is out of spec reading between 0.05-0.10, 3 out of the 20 ain't too bad

all the rest are in spec but on the tighter side, so me plan is to change 'em all in the winter months when the bike will be laid up for a couple of weeks.

Trying to time the cams is going to be a right cnut if I don't have this tool, so any ideas would be great

Hotcams do an assorted box for about $90

I'd have shims if ya need em .put bike on paddock stand, remove plugs, stick it in top gear and use the back wheel to turn it over. Works fine.

but an assorted box mightn't be useful to me if I need more than 3 of the same shim.
got individual ones from ebay before, 20 shims for about 60 euro incl postage wouldn't be too bad
