I have a motion pro mercury sync tool the looks like the eztra humidity has deposited some water in the tubes. Will the sync process be effected in anyway? When the bike is running and the mercury level is rising, there is a bit of water on top of the column of mercury in 2 of the tubes. Do I need to find a way (how would you anyway) remove the water? If it is ok to stay, do I sync to the top of the mercury column or the top of the fluid column?

Sync to the top of the MERCURY. Ray. -
Just about any way I can think of to remove the water would risk getting into the mercury, too. Probably the safest would be to see if you can stick a Q-tip down the column just enough to touch the water and wick it up. Other than that, just live with it and read the mercury level, not the water level.

Well I used them last night to help a friend on a KZ1000 and had no problems with the moisture in the tubes, just followed the combined wisdom here and worked away.
On another point, the KZ1000 has sync port permently afixed to the boots with plugs to cap them. It was pretty nice to be able pull the sticks off and put the bike back to running order without having to let it cool down to put the plugs back in.Comment
