CX500 GL500 650 Global

A couple of days ago I was lamenting what I thought was the permanent demise of Chopper Charles when I happened upon this site and presto! - all of the CX ninjas from CC seemed to be here aswell. Big relief as I'm in the middle of a carb clean which, without this place, would be almost impossible for a greenhorn like me.

There's a question I have which I'll ask here just in case any of you know and post the question in the relevant section too :-

I would like to follow the advice for replacing the 'hard to get to' screw on the float chamber (the inside one of the three) with a hex screw so would like to know what size/spec I should get?

More importantly, how do I find out for myself - apart from just trying several til one fits - my usual method

You can go to a local nut and bolt supplier(Yellow pages) and they are a Metric M4 Allen bolt/screw.Or you can get them off Ebay,

If too long just hacksaw down

I've actually replaced all the screws on mine with them as they don't wear like Phillips screws.

Welcome back, Is Larry the carb builder, back here yet.? He printed a great book on the carbs, got one sent to Australia, and its awesome. Has all jet sizes, bolts etc in picture form.

Just a thought if you're new the Keihin species. Bear.
