Pilot Screw Adjustment
98valk:
I use the Honda pilot screw wrench 07MMA-MT3010B for yrs.

European Valkyries have slotted screws, so the Pit Posse Tool works without issues.
I use the smaller angle gear delivered in the set an a stubby blade head screwdriver bit.

The Pit Posse tool is actually better made with better gears in an enclosed housing. The head for slotted pilots is small and fits, unfortunately the other head and various adapters are too tall. I did modify the D attachment by cutting off the bottom only leaving a small section of ears. It is still a bit too tall. If they had a head like the slotted one for the D tool, it would be superior to the Motion Pro.
I never tried the Honda one because back when I looked at it, it was $300. Ironically I have paid that much in alternative tools!

Interesting! Would be cool if you could buy a set of the European screws to avoid dealing with the silly D screw

I was able to borrow the Honda pilot jet d-shaped long tool from a friend at the company, and using it was fairly simple once I loosened and spun the hose clamps 180 degrees around the rubber tube/metal intake tube connection between the carburetors and the heads, because where the two ends of the hose clamp come together and tighten interfered with the tool.
I did the idle drop adjustment, which was difficult because the big six doesn't idle glassy smoothly, and you're trying to detect a 50 rpm drop, but I probably ended up with all the screws between two and two and a half turns out. I also had synced the carbs right before doing this. The bike seems to idle a little bit better, but my gas mileage with our lousy California Gas is still always between 22 and 26 MPG with mostly City driving, and I am in awe of those who get above 30 mpg consistently.
