Nice gadget  I am still considdering building a rig myself (with tubing and oil), but I might just give in and buy a carbtune (as I can use it for my V-strom as well) Considdering I am dislexic it took my 5 times to see the difference in partnumbers  (they only switched two numbers) |

Not sure how relevant this is to the NTV but i my bike (Rf900) was running really rough recently and i was considering dropping it into the garage to get it balanced etc, but it must be all that hanging out with yorkshaer folk ;D but i have now got a mean streak in me and thought that a set i owned would pay for themsleves in no time..  Note set up here is when i first took set out to check if all was ok. ;D Cost 38.99 and i am told one chap got his in line 4 cyc 4 carbs balanced for 52 quid....so very cost effective me thought. As a totally novice at this but a willing learner, i would recommend any one who can handle a screwdriver to give it a go. Must say my first attempt was still a little out, but the 2nd go a day or two later left the carbs much closer and the bike running real nice again. |

Like it Jaz, Sounds like it is within my skill level as well . (does not often happen  ) So where would a bloke with Yorkshire mates get a twin version of those from then? Should be about £15 quid  |

Unfortunatley for the 'yarkshear man in your wallet' i am told that the 2 version cost near enough the same as the 4, but try on ebay to get an idea of prices.
That said, a 4 will do a 2 carb bike and also be good for a 4 carb bike IF your should ever go down that road, the 2 will be good for a 2 carb bike but will be fiddly and more difficult for a 4.
Although i have heard that once you get the hang of it, it's not really a big problem.
If you wished to have a go before buying i would always be happy to meet up halfway say and bring my new toys with me, so we can have a play at balancing yours if they ever need it... ;D

Time to do my mighty Pan again soon.
I have simple differential pressure device which is fine for basic twins (and ideal for aNTy), but is a pain for multi cylinders, so this looks interesting.
Are the individual gauges damped? I seem to think I heard you say the needles were a "little lively"
RJ - this is a simple job and other than the gauges or synchroniser, requires no special tools.
Warm up the engine
Remove the tapping points or blanking plugs
Tap into the inlet manifolds
Start up and run at fast idle
Leave balance the cylinders against a "master" (usually No 1) by adjusting the tickover screw
When complete, switch off, restore everything, take bike for a test drive to marvel at the smooth delivery of power
Return home for well deserved glass of beer.

I do have one of theses if anyone needs to borrow it, and yes McF you can dampen each gauge on its own. I have a four carb so comes in handy, Got mine for £20 |
