How to use the Carb Sync Tool on your Yamaha V-Star 650 

Mate I'm definitely not mechanically minded but followed step by step and I nailed it.. thanks heaps..

I tried this on my 2005 VTX 1800c and it worked great. Thank you.

That is fantastic Mike I've been thinking of buying a tool for this job You just keep making these videos, and I will keep learning Respect

Very interesting. I've learned something about my 650.

Great video, thanks for the help!

Nice bike! Like the paint and seat. 👍

Just bought a vstar 650 last night... Sweet tool man. Gonna make one and check mine out. Thanks. Sub'd

Nice video!

I am really impressed your mechanical on the V-Star 1100 I have a V-Star 1100 2003 it needs a lot of work I am going to sink the carburetors now I'm going to assemble a calibrating to like you did. I know you step-by-step instructions that you lay it out for me. I'm hoping to see all your videos. Thanks a lot.

This was very informative, but it took me a bit to see the adjustment screw. I t would have helped had you pointed to it with a tool so it would easily be seen. Beyond that, great job. Thanks,

Excellent!!!

Ok first things first that video was a helpful tool ok I noticed that I'm missing a vacuum line right there bye were u hooked up the tool but the nipple is bigger were it go do I need it and all that is that why my bike idles high when it's warm thanks againmike

Thanks

Nice design, bu I would add cheap plastic or metal restricor valves inline on both tubes to get rid of the fluid jumping around

Te recomiendo usar aceite para transmisión automática ya que es mas denso y preciso o el aceite para moto 2tiempos también sirve

At minute 2:00 I see that your intake manifold is already cracked. You should swap it soon. Best of both. And at minute 6:44 you can prevent the quick up and down movements by squeezing the tube at the top of the bar a little. The air can still pass through, but is slowed down somewhat.

Will it work with Ais ? I have a tube in one of the ports

Will it work on Yamaha outboard F50 motor? ×4 carburetors

Consider revving and keep it revved to your cruising RPM and adjusting at that point. 98% of your riding is at this RPM and not idle so that's really where you want the carbs/TB's sync'd. Thanks for posting esp. your DIY device.

Mike will it work if I have the AIS system still on the bike and have a hypercharger installed as well? Is there just one screw that I turn left and right or am I going to be looking for two small screws?

After watching the video again I realize that there’s only one screw but if you could still answer for me if it will work if I still have the AIS system installed and a hypercharger on the bike please

Hey mike, not sure if you have done a video on it or not but maybe you want to. Demonstrate and show everyone how you removed the AIS

Good Video on the sync tool and how to use it as well. Man it looks like you might be in need of new intake manifolds soon though.

Any way u can tell me where that vac line that comes down from between both carbs connects to? Mine is disconnected and I can't figure out where it goes.

Did not see the video previous..but I believe the carbs on my vstar are not in sync..got it out of the shop 2cweeks ago..still popping at 50mph..

What if when you turn the bike on to use the diy sync tool, fluid shoots up 1 side and you have to shut the bike off before fluid goes into it?

Hello Mike, what year is your xvs650?

Should the choke be off by the time you test it?

At around 2:02, you were trying to point out the adjustment screw, but there are 2 or 3 other screws in the frame. Which one is it? Is it the black phillips head in the center of the frame?

This does not work for a 2004 VStar. My front cylinder had a vacuum tube that went somewhere instead of a plain end cap nipple like yours. All it succeeded in doing was suck all the 2 cycle oil into the front cylinder, start smoking, and foul my plug. I got better results using my ear to sync the carbs. I'm going to have to use actual gauges instead of this oil method. I followed you instructions exactly and no matter how little oil I had in the tube, it would still get sucked in. To say the least, I am disappointed in the results and feel like this instructional is one of those troll "charge your phone in the microwave" videos.
