    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Carb Synch Adjustment Tool For CV Carbs

Suzuki calls for OEM part # 09913-14911. I have seen it for approx $ 25.00 in various places. Is this tool worth the money or are there other better tools out there for the job? Thanks in advance for any advice.
 
They look to be pretty good. I did not know if the OEM was the same or possibly flexible. On my 1000 the #2 is under the frame and between the cables. I made my first attempt tonight at synching. You do not need to move the screws much to affect the readings but without a proper tool it is definately harder to make the small adjustments needed.
 
Just pull the locknuts off, put a dab of blue loctite on the screws, and adjust with a regular screwdriver. Much easier! Just did it on my second bike.
 
I still like the idea someone had a while back about tossing the screw and locknut and replacing with a phillips or allen screw with a tension spring. The problem was no one could find screws with fine enough threads, but it was a very good idea. Someone also tossed out the idea of epoxying the nut to the top of the screw and using a tension spring, that seemed a bit jury-rigged to me but it would probably work.

Yeah I think I started that thread. After many pages of discussion and scouring the web for proper sized threads, it turns out the loctite thing works like a charm. *shrug*
