Carb Synch Tool Recommendations - Andy Clap - 21-03-12
Anybody recommend a carb synch tool. Is is worth forking out the extra for a Carbtune?
Cheers.

Have the carbtune and get on well with it. easy to use.
cant comment on other ones as i have only used a cheap set of dial ones from ebay a friend had once and they were totaly useless

Have the carbtune and recommend it. Have never used anything else. But the carbtune is dead easy to use. I used it to balance my carbs as one of the first jobs after 20 years away from tinkering with engines.

Carbtune for me too.

And me.
Used successfully on 600 and 1000.
As in most cases you gets what you pay for and the Carbtune is worth it.

Thing about having a Carbtune... you buy it new for £60 and you can sell it on Ebay in 5 yrs time for £40 ...

I have a cheap EBay one, wish i had gone for a carbtune..
The needles are not damped very well so flick up and down like nobodies business.
only way i could do it was hold the revs at a steady 3000 rpm and then let go and adjust. it now idles better than it did before and runs better so it looks to have worked.
long story short.. get a carbtune.....

I bought a carbtune, have never used anything else, but I reckon its worth the extra few quid.

I use my gauges with great success, If you put in the damper valves they are fine.

Well worth the investment, but make sure you check the TPS setting after balancing the carbs
