Okay, I managed to mess up carb syncing on my 600 I was given an old car sync (vacuum type)... I had a feeling it was not really too accurate. It's the type with the funny plastic taps that adjust vacuum flow; I used one ages ago and it was not too bad. With this one it was either very temperamental, or not responsive enough. I don't know why but I thought  I'll give it a go anyway... now it's worse than it was.

The question is: is it worth buying a new set of these vacuum-gage ones or should I go for Carbtune straight away. Also, it sounds a bit worse now, and my clutch rattle got worse too can I still ride it or could this cause damage? I need to get to work, and if it's for the sake of the Fazer... I can take a bus for a day or two 

Thanks : )

Thanks for all the replies, much appreciated. I will probably go for the swap once I can source a nice pair; the ones I had in mind did have some pitting so I let them go 

I will stick to what I've got until they start causing problems as right now there are no leaks 

It's great to have a confirmation of the ease of fitment; yet still, would you go for a change or rechrome? Have you had any experience with rechroming; most workshops say that the reconditioned part will last a lot longer than stock, can anyone confirm or challenge? 

Thanks!

Hi and thanks for replying,

read a couple of posts here on the forum and seems like it's okay to go ahead... but as they say it does not hurt to ask.
I am looking at swapping my old rusty 2002 forks with a pair of nice 1999 ones : ) I know I will lose the adjusters, but I am not too bothered about that. My stanchions are rusty and peeling (above compression level but I fear it will go down, I will use the bike daily throughout winter). Are there any issues I should be aware of or is it a simple swap.

Thanks
