Hi All.
I've ran into a problem with adjusting the airscrews properly on the 2012 250R
Ninja....
" I CAN'T GET TO THEM "
taking the side fairings off just to adjust the air screws is just plane silly their's gott'a be a better way than that !
is there a special tool you guys use to get in there and adjust the screws
while it warm... without burning the heck out of your hands ?
I thought of a 90Deg. screwdriver but their all way too long on the business end. a simple 90deg. bend in an old screw driver would only work for a few degrees then your out of luck turning it more.
a 1/4" ratchet with a tiny screw driver bit on it might work but the throw will be very restricted by the fairing....
.... any suggestions ?

Edit: I am not opposed to making a special tool for the job but the only viable one I can see is a 90 deg screwdriver with a long handle and a short working end... and I haven't seen one of those.......ever. perhaps cutting one down would work though...Humm.

Bob.....
