Carb Sync

Carb Sync:

Make sure that the cables are routed correctly to their respective carbs.  The cables are numbered at the junction from 0-4 with 0 being the oil cable.  The cylinders are numbered LF=#1, RF=#2, LR=#3, RR=#4.  The longer of the two choke cables goes to the #4 carb.  Adjust the cable slack at the grip to have a minimum of 1-2mm of play only.  Run all of the carb top cable adjusters all the way in and then back them out 3/4 turn.  Wrap some 1/8" vinyl hose (or clothes line, or 12ga wire, etc.) 1.5 times around the throttle between the stock grip and the housing to act as a friction brake to aid in holding the throttle stationary while synchronizing the carbs.  Starting with the right side, raise the slides up with the throttle until one of the dots on the slides just touches the top of the carb bore.  (Use a flashlight to properly illuminate the dot and throttle bore to dispel shadows).  Then raise the adjacent slide to match and tighten both adjuster lock nuts.  On the left side, raise each slide accordingly to match and tighten the adjusters.  (Note:  The left side adjusters typically ride 3 turns higher than the right side.  It's just how the cables are cut).  At this time, check to see that the oil pump is set 1-2 turns leaner than stock, depending on the quality of oil that you use.  Stock setting has the two dash marks lining up when the carb dots are at the top.

Oil the filters lightly.  Install the rear filters with the bodies angling downward to the rear and parallel to the top frame rails.  Rotate the front filters until they rest against the rear flange area.  Place the screw clamp head face up and to the rear for best clearance.

Install your fairing after a quick test ride to make sure that everything's fine.  Questions?  Call me!
