bog Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Ok fellas, what are some of the carb balancing tools you would recommend, there are many out there, have looked at amazon and there are many available, any recommendations? bog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridervfr Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Morgan Carburetor synch tool. I had the Motion Pro one with fake mercury and it sucked out loud. Morgan tool, I can do the synchronization on my Gen3 bikes in five minutes with three associated flash lights and a ninety degree screwdriver from my Triumph days. Tool is great as it simplifies the entire process which is key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Grum Posted September 5, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted September 5, 2020 Yep agree, Morgan Carbtune is an excellent bit of kit. Hang it on the bike do a bit of plumbing and away you go. (bottom picture 2009 6gen synch. After adjustments). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squirrelman Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 after years of scientifik experimentation and research i can bench synch carbs to near-perfect accuracy without any need for gauges, and it costs nothing. pm me for details.

But, there are no carbs on a 6gen! Can you do the same for throttle bodies with starter bypass valves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's a very good skill you have for non fuel injected bikes then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bog Posted September 5, 2020 Author Share Posted September 5, 2020 Squirrelman, are you using feeler guages to sync the carbs, i wondered if that method would work. bog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bog Posted September 5, 2020 Author Share Posted September 5, 2020 I havent received my service manual yet so i have a few questions, when syncing the starter valves, do you prop the tank up at the front? I have ordered a carbtune pro 4, should have it in a week. I used to sync carbs back in the 80s with a mercury column tool, worked pretty good. Do youknow if this carbtune pro 4 requires any additional equipment to sync a 2003 vfr 800, tubing adaptors etc... also i have read that the 6th generation interceptors have different vacume readings for the 4 cylinders to be synced correctly? Any info would be greatly appreciated. bog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Grum Posted September 5, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted September 5, 2020 You can download the Service Manual from this forum, download section. Yes it can be done by having the tank in the maintenance position. The carbtune comes with all you need to connect it to the Starter Valve vacuum hoses. It's the 5gen that has the offset vacuum, the 6gen is balanced and referenced to cylinder 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
