Carb question
#3
The only good way is to know what one feels like when its adjusted right.
All it is doing is balancing the amount of intake charge each cylinder gets per stroke.
If your bike runs like ****, its probably not carb syncronization by itself.

Well, this is my first non-injected bike so I really don't know for sure but it seems to run fine, it does not miss or stall at anytime. If I had to really pick, it kinds of quietly pops (not a backfire) when using the engine compression to slow down but I have kinda come to like that sound.

I wouldn't be able to argue that until I get around to syncing mine and find out if it smooths things out more, although it seems smooth to me now. The questions is, does carb sync affect operation at all positions or just at lower engine speeds? i'll have to defer to those who know for the answer to that.

If you have to ask, you need to adjust them. No, seriously if they have not been done or you don't know if they have been or not, it should be part of your regular service.

the rule of thumb is if you pull the carbs ( or do any carb work ) then resync them. imo they'd have to be pretty out of wack to notice any changes.
the sync does change a bit throughout the RPM range. some people adjust it at idle some turn it up a bit higher.

You can sync the carbs at either idle or at 4k rpms. Ebay has the carb sync tools for $36 versus paying the shop $60 each time to do what you can perform in 10-15 minutes. An indispensable tool to have in your shop.

Nope i don't and mine is more like a 5 minute task.
Search the forum anddo the vacume line mode to run the front cylinder check point remote. Both of my lines are routed to to just behind the left frame. Simply reach in pull the lines out, remove the line plugs, hook up the dial gauges and sync with wrench.
done! no tank removal no nothing, just a gauge and a wrench.
