Well its been a while since I've posted anything. The Weather has been getting Nice here in Eastern, WA/Northern ID. and I've been trying to get my Bandit together to go ride.

Since Last November I've been tearing into my bike, I've repainted the frame and most of the aluminum bits like the rearsets and all that. I've done a top end on the engine. I've finally got the engine together the cams are timed and I'm ready to do the valve adjustment.

So my question, what is the valve adjust driver? Is it a socket or something else I can get at the auto parts store or is it an item I'll have to order through Suzuki?

I just use a 9 or 10 mm wrench and a pair of needle nose pliers or a ignition wrench that fit the little sraure deal you adjust

I ordered the little wrench from the dealer after doing it like Jay said, It can be done that way there are just easier way to do it. I cost me all of $5 I think
