Not even KTM (WP) do it well on everything, their cone valve forks still require a flat blade for clicker adjustments up top.

KTM doesn't have a Cone Valve fork. That's WP. I'll bet that if KTM had CVs on their bikes, they would spec an adjuster for it from WP like what comes on the AER.
WP is part of the KTM group. they’ve been releasing the CV’s to the average rider for years now and never updated the adjusters to match the stock stuff.

Buy the race tech tool or take an old flat blade screw driver, heat it up with a torch and bend just the tip (can be used for other purposes too). Either method has served me well.

I found one of these at Red Bud after a National.

Just a heads up for people looking at this tool. It doesn't work on the latest gen Showa 49 mm forks on the 18+ RMZ, 17+ CRF, and 19+ KX 450s because of the fork cap design. The cap has a raised portion for the bleeder screw that prevents the flat head from touching the adjuster.
