mainance question
I was going through the service manual and i saw throttle body sync but was unsure of the tool you needed to do it got me a bit confused but i am crazy when it comes to maintenance and i probably wont be able to sleep until i get it figured out. Has any one on here done it and if so what does it require any advice would be welcomed

Re: mainance question
The throttle body sync means you lift the tank, plug in a carb balancer (I have a CarbTune II) to the vacuum ports of each cylinder, and use a screw driver to adjust as needed.

Re: mainance question
there isn't a simple way of measuring oil pressure on the SV (you only have a low oil warning (level, not pressure)), you could always plumb in a gauge using additional hoses, but it'd be a real pain, but not impossible.
Cheers Mark.

Re: mainance question
As mentioned above you'll need vacuum gauges to balance your throttle bodies, (exactly the same job as with carbs and for the same reason).
If money is tight I remember someone posting a link to a home made u-tube manometer that gave good results, I'll have to have a nose around to see if I can find that. As to the cylinder compression and oil pressure checks, unless you have a significant mileage on your bike or have a fault that would require these checks to diagnose, they could be considered somewhat esoteric, don't worry about them - if your bike runs well they're OK.

Only takes a couple of mins to do a pointy's throttle bodies, I'm guessing that curvy's would be the same sort of time (longest part about it is getting the tank up!), so don't worry about the cash fella. I could probably sync my throttle bodies before the kettle had boiled. Same applies to all org-ers btw, if you're around North Wales, I have a Carbtune available for use. |
