anyone in nottingham? - Young rider - 08-04-13
who can do carb balancing as i don't fancy paying £80 for a bike shop to do it........
Re: anyone in nottingham? - Buzz - 09-04-13
You can get one for £57 and it's piss easy to DIY. I might then come over and borrow yours.. :b
motorcycle carburetor balancing- Carbtune

I'm in Nottingham and will also be looking to borrow somebody's balancer as soon as I get around to replacing my exhaust.
£57 sounds like a bargain and all, but not for something you only use once...

If you come up to York we could have a balancing party! BYOF

Strange pricing, 'cos it would take longer to clean them than to balance them i'd have thought? :rolleyes

Definitely, cleaning them is a lot more work and probably nearly 10x the amount of labour work required! Only thing I can think is that they run some fuel cleaner through them without removing them?

Re: anyone in nottingham? - Young rider - 16-04-13
