Guys,
I'm trying to synchronising the carbs - simple job, done it loads of times before... but on the Fazer - NO SYNC SCREWS!!! They're not where the Haynes manual says they should be and I just can't find them!!! What's going on there then!!?? The carbs do need balancing as they're a bit out but I can't find the bloody screws - a simple job is impossible. How do the bike designers manage such a shitty trick!!??
It's a 2001 FZS 1000
I'm hoping the sync will cure this weird issue - if I accelerate moderately at about 15mph in 2nd gear out of a bend I get a weird noise that sounds like some slack in the transmission slapping about. Pulling away from the small roundabout at the end of my road is the litmus test - always happens. Carb balance may well solve it... if I can figure how to sync them!
Any advice much appreciated!!
Dave
