I found the small straight bit out of a 5 in 1 screwdriver works best.

:2tup: :rawk:

Ive been using a straight bit but turning with 1/4" wrench. Cant turn by hand.

Re: First Bike! Best Forum Ever!
 

Try using a 1/4" socket on the bit.It should be large enough to turn by hand and less awkward than the wrench.

Thanks Blaine. Good thinking. Way to stinkin easy for me. I just posted a question about shock adjustments. Have you found one setting better than the other. If so, easiest way to adjust?

Re: First Bike! Best Forum Ever!
 

I found the 3rd setting the best for me,but I only weigh 140lbs.Any less than 3rd is to soft,any more is to stiff.I use a center punch to turn the adjusters,It fits in the hole perfectly.

I was always taught to screw it in until it starts running rough, then screw it out until it starts running rough. Halfway between the two is the ideal spot. :2tup:

Having gotten pretty adept at tuning simple engines, like older VWs and Land Rovers, the best way I've found to adjust the mix is to smell the exhaust. An acrid oder, it's too lean. A heavy oily oder, too rich. Kinda' like steam up your nose, spot on. I haven't tuned up my GZer yet, but the same should hold true… Oh, and if you do try this method, don't go riding straight away :)

That might work a bit better Alantf

And one day you will cross a threshold where you just drop unconcious next to a running engine. The results could be fatal, please stop doing that.
