Most don't realize until it fails or falls out that it's only PLASTIC.
Many heat cycles and a few valve checks later, these can crack.
Leaving you with out a plug to install back in your bike the day before a big ride. Don't ask how I know.....
Included in the 3 piece valve check kit.
1)-Billet engine plug.
Machine finish is show, but only available in Black or Orange anodize.

Notice that this no longer requires a 14mm Allen
anymore.
Who normally has one of these in there shop
anyways???? It's not in the stock tool kit.
This plug can be removed with your 10mm socket
and T-handle wrench. No need to worry about
cracking this anymore.

2)-10mm to 14mm adaptor in Machine finish,
Black or Orange.

Use the same 10mm socket and T-handle, insert this into the 14mm engine hex and
you can turn the motor with your stock tools.

Last piece of the kit
3)-Crank lock bolt. (Not shown....yet)
This is used to lock the engine at top dead center when removing cams to change valve shims.
This bolt is longer than the KTM tool but the same price. Why longer? The stock bolt has no end on it and
appears to be able to thread all the way in the engine if you miss the crank alignment slot. I have a nut
welded to the end so you can turn it by hand and feel the slot. No more worries.

Shown below is the large 14mm wrench (to the right) I used for valve adjustments.
Center is the 10mm- 14mm adaptor.
Left is the stock t- handle and 10mm socket.
The adaptor fits perfect in the tool pouch, ready for any service long distance riders
would require.
