How do you balance the throttle bodies on a K8? - Page 7 - SV650.org

It's not outrageous but it's definitely not smooth, this is only when it's in the 80+ temp range.
Rest of the time, it's lovely.

no as you adjust balance by means of adjusting the butterflies.

the only reason you need to do this on twin sparks due to the auto idle as you have to lock the idle.

15 Months later - Thread Resurrection!!!!

My bike is currently at 22k and I dont think its ever been balanced.

Anyone lending these tools still? If so how do I pay/reimburse you

FWIW I pad £40 10 months ago at 23,000 miles and it needed doing, but was only just out of tolerance.

Is this the version which did not work? Has anyone bought this? Seems cheaper although have to take into account the potential import duty. The description looks to be a straight copy of the Healtech website!

import is now £15 before any charges so what you do is contact the seller and tell him you will buy one if they put £14.50 on the customs declaration

i do it all the time

for the simple reason i dont mind paying duty one little bit but i dont like giving the PO £8 for pressing a few keys on a computer, if it was maybe £2 or so then fine but 8 fekin quid.. ermm no.

Bibio, still need to do this, are you up for lending your tool out? id need the carb balancer too... id pay you of course.

If not I think ill just get my local Stealer to do for £60-£80 I think was the quote 0_0
