Stripped the Thundercat down to balance the carbs. Tank off (full to the brim), airbox off, and dig around for the balance nipples but couldn't find them!
Yamaha in their ultimate wisdom have put some pipes from the back of the carbs and plugged them along the under side the frame where you can get to them. Even the balance screws were accessible without moving anything but lifting the tank!
So silly me removed all that for Bugger all reason!
You can balance the carbs in virtually minutes without breaking into a sweat.
Why the Hell don't they do that with all their bikes????
