Re: How do you balance the throttle bodies on a K8?
Don't be daft mate, the ad reads like it'll do what I wanted, but unfortunately it doesn't. I'll either get a refund or they'll send me another piece of kit that does it. I'll probably just go for the refund then get the OBD tool for a bit more.

To answer my own questions, here's an extract from the FAQ on the Healtec Electronic OBD Tool.

Re: How do you balance the throttle bodies on a K8?
I've taken the plunge and gone for the Healtech tool here. The other tool from China was a pile of proverbial and I've opted for a refund.
Due to receive the Healtech tool next week so all being well, should be balancing the throttle bodies a week on Saturday. |

Re: How do you balance the throttle bodies on a K8?
i'm looking forward to this. if it works i'm going to splash the cash i think as its around £60 for a stealer to do it.
nobby if you could be so kind to when you get it, can you do a nice write up. |

Re: How do you balance the throttle bodies on a K8?
Sure will. If it works, I'm going to look at 'lending' it to people for a small fee, which would help pay for the thing as well as save people a fortune on stealer fees. You'll need vacuum gauges as well for the actual balancing, all this does is allow you to lock the ISC valve.
I asked Marriotts in Birkenhead (where I bought the bike from) and they said 3-4hrs to do it! At £40+ p/h, I don't think so! He basically said I'd be better off spending the money buying the OBD tool and doing it myself. Last edited by Nobbylad; 11-05-11 at 11:05 AM. |

Re: How do you balance the throttle bodies on a K8?
3-4hrs, wtf are they on crack or something. 1hr max.
i dont know if you have read but i seen a little snippet somewhere (cant remember now) that said you might have to clean the screws as they get gummed up, to get a proper ballance. |

Yeah the general charge to a ****somer (sorry had to get that in there somewhere LOL) is 0.5hr to 1 hour.

Re: How do you balance the throttle bodies on a K8?
I tell you what would be nice to know is how this tool Nobby's bought compares to the OEM SDS tool.
