    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. 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.

Synchronizing Carbs: How hard is it?

I keep seeing threads on synch'ing carbs, and have been warned by my experienced bike friends that when an ad says "bike runs but needs carbs cleaned" it means "carbs need to be torn down, rebuilt, and synch'ed" The ability to synchronize carbs seems to be a very handy thing to have. How hard is it to learn to do this? Is there hope that a guy who has never rebuilt a motor nor torn a transmission apart could learn this?
 
its really not terribly hard, at least not on an inline 4...

also, FWIW, i live about 1.5 hours south of ya

The only thing to fear is fear itself. It's actually quite easy, but you need to use a fan to cool your engine or you will melt your tubing.

Its easy if you have the carb screwdriver.I did it for the first time the other day .It only take a few minutes and makes a big difference.I thought my bike ran weill before but now its a major improvement on performance!!! It idles quieter and run a lot smoother.
 
Great question and excellent replies guys.
I was thinking this same thing and was wondering about it.
I know my next bike purchase will be a synchronizer.[-o<
