just thought i would let everyone know the fuel mixture screw on my 05 400ex is not a flat head i talked to the honda dealer and they said that khein changed it, but they dont know what it is or what tool i need to adjust it with,they are going to get back in touch with me,yea right,lol!i dont have time for that so i took it all the way out and cut a groove in it with a dremel now i can use it as a flat head works great!!sorry about the thread being so long but i thougt you guys would like to know!

how are you supposed to turn it then if it doesn't have a groove in it from the factory?

i just used a small steel punch,aplied alot of pressure and made it turn a little at a time,of corse i had to take the carb off first!

i just bought a dyno jet ket for a 400ex and it had a tool for the 05 400ex's in it so i would check with dyno jet to see if you can buy the tool from them.
