Carb Synch Adjustment Tool For CV Carbs

[twr1776]

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.

If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, there's a Motion Pro tool that seems to be what everyone uses.

It's $20 at Dennis Kirk, likely a wee bit cheaper elsewhere:

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*
