There are only two ways I know of. The first involves purchasing one of those very very long forcep type tools that you can find in specialty places designed to torture members of Tools Anonymous. The second is cheaper and simpler. You remove the choke cable from the handlebar, loosen and remove the throttle cables and hoses at the carb (or, in the case of the hoses: at the petcock), loosen the clamps on the front and back of the carb, now rotate the carb 90 degrees clockwise. You'll be able to get at the nut fairly well now from the rightside of the bike. Kurt

Hello Kurt.  Thanks,  Do you do this with the gas tank still mounted?  Or do you remove it?

i love my av's...they stick like glue on the road. i don't do much heavy off road stuff---firebreaks and dirt roads mainly--they tend to "snake" a good bit less in the dry s.c. sand, but they give the impression that the clutch is slipping. they spin easy and hook up sorta slow. its great for doing power slides on hard packed dirt roads. they really excel in the mountains in the twisties. hope that helps. james in s.c. << A month or two back, one of the listers bought the AV33/34 tires. Any comments? >>
