That tool is used on shims over bucket. If you have shims under bucket I don't think it will help you. On page 15 of 1978 KZ1000 manual there is a picture of how it's used.
I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.

Ended up figuring it out so much easier than the cheap bat wing tool I was using well worth the money

Be careful with that tool. It will bend valves if the motor is turned too far the wrong way.
