ZX6R 2001 J2 Carburetor Balancing 

Hi Luke, not planning to do that as did a couple of years ago - it’s not that tricky but they seem a long way down and you’ll need a universal joint. Thanks for watching!

Thanks and good tip - sure, my method is a bit Heath Robinson and dodgy AF but it was well ventilated.

Hi - just had a look at it says SK on the unit.

Thanks for noticing - it sounded even better in person.

I couldn’t agree more but for a quick setup it works well enough.

Glad you enjoyed the vid!

What type of gas is that in US?

@@yetihassyphilis5095 Not sure what its called in US - its the best petrol you can get in the UK rather than the cheaper version.

Hi, thanks for the sub and glad you liked the video. The end can I have is a Micron and was on the bike when I got it. For me, I love the sound and with it being carbon fibre bodied it looks good on the bike too. It is road legal but not sure if it is supposed to have a baffle or not but it didn’t come with one. Its also much lighter than the standard one. It’s the only one I’ve tried, other than the standard one I used to throw on for the MOTs, so can’t really give you any other recommendations.

Interesting - if yours was idling faster then that would show a higher reading for sure or maybe I didn’t seat mine as well as you did but I thought I did. I’ll do mine again over winter anyway and I’ll check then.

Have a look on the back of the carbs - if still on bike. What are you aiming to do?

@@bikenut Trying to see if my bike has gas in the carbs

Is it running poor or not at all? If running poor stick some “Mechanic in a bottle” in the tank (as in this video) which will help with cleaning the carbs. If not at all it could be the fuel pump - check your fuses and also have a look at the filter to make sure it’s not blocked.

Interested to hear more about the “ram air mod” - what is that?

Hi Gilberto - sorry are you saying the number on the Syncrometer is relevant to the half turns or are you asking me how many it takes?

Ha, did I not do that? I usually do haha.

@bikenut seemed like it was a little difficult to maneuver sorry if I'm wrong bud! Just trying to help make life easier

Thanks Austin

The link to the item is in the description. It is a Synchrometer made by STE

@@bikenut спасибо !

Hi, I just made sure they were all the same, I’m not certain the number was important. Once all the same just adjust your idle accordingly. I fitted the indicator years ago so no video unfortunately.

@@bikenut ok thanks. If I understood well, the high number like you have was tree, you adjust for the same all? I see comments here say gauges 4. High number is better?

Hi, what they meant was that this would be more accurate by using 4 gauges or a vacuum gauge setup.

Thanks for your comment but I don’t think that is correct. With this carb, 1 and 2 are sync’d with the adjustment screw between them, the same then for 3 and 4. Once you have 1 sync’d with 2 and 3 sync’d with 4, you can then sync both pairs with the adjustment screw in the middle.

Entao estamos falando de configurações diferentes no mesmo modelo de motos,porque aqui no Brasil a zx6r tem apenas 3 parafusos de sincronismos nos carburadores que sao 4 carburadores,o numero um da esquerda ja vem calibrado de fabrica como referença para os outros 3 carburadores se vc possuir o vacuometro de 4 relógios vc vai ver que so consegue ajustar o 2 o 3 eo 4,tendo como referencia o numero 1, 34 anos trabalhando com motocicletas 21 anos em autorizada Honda

So that’s interesting to hear - I’ve no reason to doubt you and can not find any resources on specific Brazilian versions of the bike. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Mark, it’s a gear indicator.

​@bikenut where does the gear indicator plug into? Cheers Glen.

Hi - there is a link in the description - Amazon

I would expect it depends how far out of sync they are but would certainly expect a rough idle. Not sure about other symptoms as I am no expert.

I have never used the usual four tubes or dials type and this was my first time using this tool so I can’t really advise on that but it was really easy and no cutting of the vacuum lines as with the other types.

Where do you get your sync from guys?

@@JakeJohnson-hw8ew found it on Amazon

Found one now bud 👍

Certainly - this is the item I bought. Appears it’s still available - www.amazon.co.uk/Deluxe-Carburetor-Airflow-Latest-Rage/dp/B00CMC57R0/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?crid=2Z7XQVFOILK3K&keywords=carburettor+synchroniser&qid=1643064072&sprefix=carburettor+sy%2Caps%2C76&sr=8-9

@@bikenut thank you.

Thanks! The Micron was already on when I got the bike but I suspect the carbs weren’t tweaked. I’ve always fancied doing a Dynojet upgrade and adding a K&N filter though.

@@bikenut the reason i ask as the result slightly hung when on decelerate as mine did for 2 years until I richened it out using the rev drop method.....so much better 👍👍
