Throttle body balancing

Now I know that an imbalance in the amount of air going through each throttle body can cause the bike to run badly - just the same as with the carb'd version of any engine.

BUT, is it possible to balance them at home,
AND is it easy?

Just found out how much a few companies want to charge me, and I'd like to spend some of that money on new tyres....

Vaccum gauges - £30. That's all you need.

The front vacuum is fiddly to get to, but that's it. 1 hour tops and the results can be massive.

Right, so I need vacum guages, but how, where, and how do I balance?

edit: This is on a K3 - if of any interest...............

Look at the service manuals on the main site.
