Balanced the carbs again this morning (got a couple of days off work), and what a difference it makes 
I persevered a bit longer this time to try and get it the best i could, and unfortunately decided to settle with 2, 3 & 4 carbs absolutely level and number 1 carb one small digit different.
Well within spec, but kind of frustrating for me.
The adjuster screw for 1 & 2 is in such a pig of a place that i found it difficult to get a proper feel for it, so was constantly turning it before i found a good enough postion.
I thought they looked quite okay when i first put the Carbtune on but i just took the bike for a spin and it makes a world of difference.
The throttle response, smoothness and acceleration in any gear was simply lovely, and any vibration that might have been there is certainly not there now.
Add to that the money i've already saved in mechanic fees, and the satisfaction knowing that i did it myself and have seen with my own eyes that it's all been done correctly means that the job is definitely a good'un
