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.
