BBBs02e29 | Sync the Carbs or Syncing the Carburettors & Setting Idle Speed on XVS650 

You make it look so easy mate! Easily one of the best I've seen on RU-vid as going about to sync the carbs/throttle bodies.

Thanks so much for easily explaining the process. You made it very easy to understand! I love RU-vid!

Carbs are really cool. But when you’re getting old like me, you appreciate fuel injectors 😁

You made that look easy. It was surprising to see the difference between the two. Getting your hand in and around a hot engine...Nice, well done.

Well done thxs for the video love the vstars

Good job, that sync is no sweat, I have a VS1400 Intruder and its one of the hardest bikes to sync, the 2 carbs are totaly seperated and different altogether and attached by a sync cable, you have to do an idle sync (low speed) and a 2k (high speed) sync using different cables, and if you happen to bump or move the cable, or slight adjust it it throws it our of wack, its the craziest bike ive seen,,,But I love the bike LOL,,,But the sync is very important to get the bike right

I’ve really enjoyed your videos mate. Excellent. I’ve replaced my throttle cables and it seems to have a high idle now. I’m going to go buy a tiny tach and set the idle. I might have accidentally adjusted the screw when I was jamming my hands in there.

Brilliant mate, thank you.

That was great info

Awesome. Thanks for that

if u dont have a manometer, do it by sound.good stuff

Hi synced mine at ladle and at a few thousand rpm, very close and the idle is rock solid but just off idle there is a vibration.

Nice work mate

I'm jealous! You are able to do this without taking the tank off - which is in my case with the old vz800 Marauder - a pain in the back side :)

Great video mate Quick question, the lines go into the intake manifold??

Nice job m8, should have a nice response while riding : )

Gangster

When I place my bike on the sidestand it really leans onto the side quite a bit, would you suggest I straighten my bike before I sync the carbs or should I leave it on the sidestand..?..

How many rpm's did you raise it up? And I just rebuilt carbs Virago 535 should I do fuel level measurements first then sync the carbs and set idle then use Gunson Colortune to set pilot screws? Or what sequence would you go in.. I synced carbs first and perfect like yours but started backfiring a little

@iRidetas thanks and what rpm did you set while doing sync well right before you said to raise it idle a little how much? Thanks

Great how to. I assume this would be the same on a 1100 custom?

I've done the same thing at idle. But about 1400 rpms the throttle bogs out. I've switched jets to 135 and pilots to 37.5. I also have air filter pods

Do I have to have the carbs synced if I'm just adjusting with the idol screw?

Wheres the tach from fella? You should really set up something like an amazon affiliates page.
