    Need advice on carb sync kit

    Hi all. I am planning to buy carb sync kit from ebay. There are kits with few different adapter sizes.
    Which size do I need for our bikes?
    Thank you

      I agree the Morgan carb tune is great. I left the restrictors out and it worked great on my 1000. There didn't seem to be enough suction with the restrictors installed.

          I have also had good experience with the Motion Pro SyncPro carb tuner. It is available here:

            No problem.....

            or

            Nema na cemu.....

            I have used Spyug's a number of times, and it's great, works well and easy to use, get the special screwdriver as well, it will make setting up the carbs even easier...

              +1 for Carbtune. Well worth the small difference in price. I used to poo-poo the importance of carb sync, until I did it with the Carbtune. Sooooooo much smoother. On the 850G with CV carbs, you can't get to the #2 adjuster with the Motion Pro tool unless you take off the throttle cable bracket and go in at an angle through the frame tubes.

              I am willing to share in the Seattle area, also have complete OEM shim kit and tool.

                    I just bought a Morgan Carbtune but it comes with crappy plastic hose-to-thread adapters. There were metal ones you could buy instead, does anyone remember where from? Z1?

                          So does ebay. Having different lengths is always nice in case you work on a different bike. I have 4 different lengths and I like the copper ones the best but they do transmit heat.

                            Ah, I didn't notice Morgan sold them as well. Here are the Z1 adapters:





                            Next question: 5mm or 6mm?

                              Buy the adapters from Z1/ebay MotionPro, also - it's pretty easy to make your own with some copper or pvc pipe fittings, clear tubing, and some fuel or vacuum hose for near the bike where the clear tubing doesnt hold up under the heat. Automatic transmission fluid works GREAT as the fluid in the differential manometer synchronizer setup, as it is red and easy to see, thick enough to react slowly to not appear to be jumping all over the place with engine pulses, and won't harm your engine if it accidentally gets sucked in if you are way out of sync.
