Adjusting clickers with bars in the way

Hey guys, Im curious if any of you guys have issues getting to your clickers because of bar clearance. I run Flexx bars and they are right in the way of the clicker screws so It is such a PIA to adjust my clickers. The bike is a Yamaha YZ450F so KYB forks.  I have a really small ratchet driver with slotted screwdrive bits but its still just a pain.  

Anyone else have this issue?

I customized a screwdriver for this application.

I have a ratchet version of this type of low-profile tool but is still a PIA! I even cut down the driver bit to be even more low profile.

@Moto Skwid, thanks for running Flexx Handlebars.  I feel your pain, it's often a fight to get to the clickers.  The Motion Pro clicker suggestion above works great, Works Connection also just released these: https://www.worksconnection.com/fork-adjusters-yzf 

 

I love my Flexx Bars! 3rd bike to run them on!!  Thanks for the other option for clickers, I like the MP option the best since I already run the MP bleeders for the KYBs

I tend to bleed my forks every moto. I use the Motion Pro bleeders. They take priority for me over a clicker adjustment I rarely ever use.

I can’t recall if it’s my Beta or my Honda but I didn’t move the bars up on one of them.  Bleeders and clicker adjustment would have been a pain.  I think it’s my Honda.

These work great on carburetors and forks. Buy 2 sets an realign the drivers on one set opposite of other.

I like this option as the other end doubles as a bottle opener for when the day is done.
