Default Re: Throttle body balancing

For the nipple covers, I find it pretty easy to remove them by hand when the engine is cold. I used to use long nosed pliers by grabbing the rubber boot, and pushing the pliers against the frame of the bike (put the pliers above the circlip & they pop off quite easy).

It also helps to twist them as you pull them off (if doing it by hand).

I've done my TB's so often over the last 36k miles that I needed to replace the rubber boots as they were starting to degrade.
