Nihilo has developed a Stainless Steel Deck Tool that is a fraction of the cost of the OEM special tool. The OEM tool retails for over $94.00 while the Nihilo Concepts tool is only $14.99. The stainless steel is durable and strong and will last for many years. Nihilo uses a laser to precision cut each tool the laser assures that they are exact copies of the OEM specification and will work on your bike perfectly every time. You must have this tool to properly set the deck height, timing and power valve on your KTM if your head is not set up per factory specification you run the risk of stator failure and will have an improperly tuned motor. See video below and Technical specs for instructions.
Video voice over/instructions:
Let’s take a look at the tool and learn the three different adjustments that can be done with it. First locate the deck height curve this is found on the edge of the tool and is the one that does not protrude below the edge of the tool. The first shape will be used to set the deck or cylinder height. Next on the opposite side of the tool you will find the timing adjustment, this is shaped just like the deck side but protrudes down from the tool to the exact dimension in order to set the correct timing after the deck has been set. The third adjustment that can be done with the tool is the power valve and we will explain further how that is achieved later in the video.
The purpose of this video is to demonstrate the proper way to use the nihilo deck and timing tool on your KTM 85 and 105. There are specific tools for each size bike however the procedure is the same for both. It is very important to properly adjust the deck and timing of you KTM every time you are changing the piston or do any work to the bottom end of the motor. You bike will run at its best when properly set up using the Nihilo Tool.
Let’s start by draining the coolant and removing the cylinder head.
Also remove the ignition side cover and gasket to make it easy to move the piston up and down during this adjustment.
For this adjustment we will also want to remove the “o“ring head gaskets be careful not to damage them during removal, if they are new and undamaged you can reuse them if you’re not sure it’s best to get new ones.
Start by placing the tool on its edge with the deck adjustment side facing down, turn the flywheel with your hand to bring the piston up to TDC (Top dead Center)
you may find that the piston goes above the top of the cylinder and pushes the tool up if this happens you will need to install a thicker base gasket below the cylinder, if there is a gap between the cylinder and tool you will need to install a thinner gasket.
The purpose of the tool is to determine the perfect size base gasket required to position the cylinder so the tool is barley touching the tool when at TDC. It may take a few tries to get it right we suggest removing the ring when making the adjustment so it doesn’t get damaged when removing and reinstalling the cylinder.
When you have determined the correct gasket or series of gaskets go ahead and install the cylinder permanently making sure the ring is reinstalled and the base nuts are tight.
Now that you have set the deck height we can continue to the timing adjustment.
Start by turning the tool over with the timing side down place it up on edge with the small protrusions inside the center of the cylinder. With your other hand turn the flywheel until the piston comes up and touches the tool snugly.
Make sure you are on the correct stroke to get the timing marks close.
While keeping the tool and piston touching snugly Loosen the stator bolts and turn the stator until the degree mark on the stator lines up with the mark on the flywheel and tighten the bolts.
It may be necessary to check this a few times to make sure you get it right its better if you have a friend help hold the deck tool while you make the adjustment because it’s easier with three hands.
Now you have the deck and timing set and can move onto the power valve adjustment. The power valve regulates the size of the exhaust port at different RPM’s and it is important to make sure it starts in the correct location. The tool will give you that location and its pretty easy to do. (delete video part of me turning motor up, with my arm in the shot)
With the head still off and the power valve cover removed bring the piston to BDC (bottom Dead Center) to get it out of the way of the tool.
Insert the tool with the notch side facing the front of the bike and set the top edge on the top of the cylinder. The gap in the tool is the correct dimension that the power valve flap should be from the top of the cylinder so make sure the power valve is inside the notch.
Loosen the two Allen bolts and slide the plate until the tool can be held in with the pressure generated at this point tighten the Allen bolts and check to make sure the power valve flap is set so it matches the gap in the tool. This also may take a few tries but getting it adjusted correctly will be worth the trouble in performance.
Now you have successfully set your deck, timing and power valve adjustment thank you for watching.

Awesome price for quality balls
Color: Four colors, Size: 5cm (ball only)
These balls are super bouncy and durable. My dog loves them and for the price these are totally worth it! I think they are as durable as nerf balls and equal in size, and much cheaper!

Rope comes out at the slightest force. Pointless tug toy!
Color: Four colors, Size: 6cm (with rope)
If your dog pulls on these (and why wouldn’t he?), the rope immediately comes out. Turns out they just fuse the ends of the nylon rope together, which is no match for a dog playing tug. Any dog, any level of pulling will dismantle these. We’ve managed to reinsert the rope to a couple of these and KNOT it, which gives you a shorter rope but a toy that can withstand some play. But if I had wanted a DIY toy, I’d have used the balls and rope I already own.

Not for super chewers!
Color: Four colors, Size: 5cm (with rope), Color: Four colors, Size: 5cm (with rope)
These rope ball toys arrived today. My poodle puppy loves rope ball toys and playing tug of war. These didn’t last 10 minutes. For context, she is 1 y.o., 30 lbs., is not teething & has her adult teeth. She did this on her own- we were not playing tug of war at the time the toy fell apart. At least there are 3 more in the package & when the rope is done, we’ll still have the balls to play with.

What I've been looking for
Size: Large (Pack of 1)
Just got my Nero Ball. Only used it once, but really like it. I've tried other "ball on a string" type toys, with unsatisfactory results. I'll be using it as a training reward, and my boy, who is a pretty ferocious tugger, is going to learn 2 new things with this ball. 1st, to target the ball instead of the rope, and 2nd, that it's for a little gentle tugging instead of the full throttle stuff he does otherwise. After our 1st session with the Nero Ball, he's picking up on the new rules quickly. We'll see how it does long term, but I think this is one I'll stay with. *UPDATE* Been using my Nero Ball for a month now. I'm tempted to call it the 'Hero Ball' because it's just that terrific!! For me, the key has been putting in the time to allow both myself & my dog to develop the skill to use this tool smoothly. May sound strange, but using a toy as a training reward requires practice, and each different toy configuration requires different handling. It's time well spent - we're both having a lot of fun! Kudos to the designer of this ball. Every detail has been carefully considered, from the length & material of the rope (just the right length that the dog won't step on it; material is easy on the hand while still being tough enough to withstand a few toothy grabs; the loop is the perfect size to grab for a little tug or to pass the ball through to slip-knot it onto a belt loop). The ball is also just right. The knobs make it non-slip, the rubber eliminates tennis ball fuzz concerns, and being semi-hard and hollow makes it slightly compress-able, which makes it a higher value reward than a solid ball that can't be compressed. While this ball will not work for every application or for every dog, if you carefully read & understand the information provided and don't expect it to work outside those parameters, you will be pleasantly surprised by a very well designed, well constructed tool that you can use to enhance your training or play sessions with your dog.
