    I heard the special tool doesnt fit properly on all the adjuster screws.
    It fits on all 6 of mine.

      that IS my local dealer, the 36 bux.

      the 18+30 is bikebandit, and USD so it is closer to $70 to my door.

      and yet to mail a shoe box full of stuff from florida only cost me $5 when it is a private seller

          Well, I guess I'll stir the pot a little by saying this..

          I think the jamb nuts are not particularly useful. I haven't used them
          in a long time and my carbs stay in perfect sync without them.

          I found that using the jamb nuts was a pain so I took them off

          Instead I ~used~ to apply a little blue loctite on the screw after
          I got them synced.

          But my last carb sync I ran out of loctite. I've been running the bike
          for the last 1000 miles with nothing holding the screws locked and
          they haven't fallen out of adjustment.

            Canadian sources

            From Boss Tools:
            Carb Adjusting Tool

            Price and shipping from Boss Tools are usually good, but it seems they don't always have stock. I've got a couple of pit posse items on backorder till next week. These are items I ordered about a month ago.

            All the motion pro tools can be ordered from your local bike shop out of the Motovan or Parts Canada catalogs.
