It's such a simple job to do its well worth buying the carb tune (its also nice to have that sense of personal satisfaction doing a job instead of paying a mechanic!)Biggest give away is the revs at idle, if everything is perfectly synced the needle will stay virtually static at whatever revs the idle is set at, if they're out of balance the needle will wobble and revs will fluctuate of their own accord, the worse the balancing the bigger the fluctuations.
I need to do this too, got the Carbtune so I just need to get around it.People say you need a long screwdriver - how long and flat or philips?
Is adjusting the TPS important before/after balancing the carbs?I'd just do it, except I don't have the security Torx bit
carbtune now ordered, so ill get this sorted in the next week or so hopefully. anyone got a link to where i can get a suitable T25 for the TPS, just in case i need it (might as well order one for the few quid it will be)?
I'm guessing that'll be the same size torx for the 1000's TPS?
Did you put the restrictors in?It's the piece of clear tube with a tiny bore. You need to cut it into 4 and put a piece in each of the 4 Carbtune hoses.
