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

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this episode we use a Manometer and a tiny tach (digital tacho) both purchased from eBay, just type tiny tach or manometer into eBay search to purchase, to do a carb sync or sync the carburettors on a XVS650, V-Star 650 or Dragstar 650

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

    @@iRidetas I haven’t done too much to it aside from basic maintenance. Don’t really see a lot of the classic models around here so I won’t mod it too much. Might sync the throttle bodies here soon but it’s good to go aside from that!

    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.

    Cheers mate, it would prob be that the new cable has not stretched so its pulling it a little tight. Maybe try turning the threaded l piece on the throttle cable at the bars to let it off which may let it return to 0% throttle or if that doesnt work as you said the idle screw will!

    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
