One of the first things I did on my 650 and way back in 73 on my dare I say it Honda 750. :laugh: You can use your inch Lb torque wrench too this way if you want to really get fancy.
I found out the Master Mechanic #3 and #2 bits fit like they were modified too....... perfect fit on the JIS screws...... and my Sears impact has saved me a few times.
Ed what do you think about blue lock tightin them in too ..... if I read it right my factory manual recommends this and I always have ..... Also Yoshi's #1 mechanic (at the time) recommended this to me in a hand written letter many years ago when I asked them about what manifolds I needed and jetting for the 29mm smoothbores to fit. (Not being a smart azz.... I know we got in a pretty ggod argument over something close to this years ago and I'm not .)

Yes. The Kawasaki Service Manual calls for a non-permanent locking agent on the carb holders screws. Blue loctite is perfect for the job. That's exactly what I used when I replaced mine. Ed
