Default Throttle Body Synchronisation

Did this wee job yesterday with a set of Morgan Carbtune Guages.

Some photos linked below to show the before and after. As you can see it was well out. Biggest problem as everyone knows is accessing the vaccum points. I have left mine with the blanking caps fitted over the restrictors that were fitted for future ease of this task.

Very noticeable difference to the running of the bike after this task was done.

Yeah I was a Throttle Body Synchronisation 'virgin' till yesterday

Well scraped the old hands and wrists getting to those vaccum points which is why I have tried leaving small sections of the tubes and the restrictors in situ. Just need to keep an eye on it to ensure that the tubes don't pop off but I reckon they should be OK.

It's pretty obvious if they do fall off. I prefer to leave a bit of tube, but plug it with a bolt.

After you have adjusted the Throttle Sync you should check and adjust the Throttle Position Sensor, very easy to do. All you need is a few inches of electrical wire and a T25 security Torx bit. (At least I think the size is T25). There is a very detailed post on here including pics.

Tim.

Yeah thanks

I checked the TPS but didn't adjust it.

My solution to scraped knuckles is to get my 3y old to take the caps off, put the tubes on, and then when we're done, take the tubes off and put the caps back. He has smaller hands.

His reward for helping me? He gets to rev the bike whilst I play with the screwdriver.
