ZX6R 2001 J2 Carburetor Balancing
I am going to try to sync the carbs on my Kawasaki ZX6R J2 using a really easy synchronisation tool, the STE synchronometer carburettor flow meter. This should be a similar process for most 2 and 4 carb setups.
I have previously stripped and cleaned the carbs after the jets became blocked with stale fuel. I only attempted to sync them by eye that time so am certain they will be a little out.
J1 / J2
Here’s a link to the synchronometer I bought:

Great video mate. So nice to see someone doing maintenance videos on this bike - it really helps! I was wondering if you were planning on doing a video on how to change the spark plugs? Im sure it would help a lot of us out!
It had such a nice purr once you synced them 👌🏼
BEFORE removing the fuel tank, fire it up and let it warm up to make the temp funnel not so much of a PIA mate. The 4 minutes it takes to remove it and remove the air box cover it will still be warm. I use a 1 Gallon self made carb feed for these kinds of things, syncing and testing, and it is much safer that releasing explosive vopors all around your shop with a running bike....FYI.
Love the videos
Good video
Gr8 vid. Just on the question u pose - I wouldn't use E10 in a older carb'd bike. Always use Shell Vpower or E5 in my DT and it runs gr8.
So I have the same tool and I just synced my carbs as best as I could with how late it was. But I cleaned the carbs out and then synced them anyway I noticed yours was at or around 3 where as mine was around 7 would you know why?
Hello Mate, great video, I was wondering I have the J1 and was wondering if you can recommend me a exhaust for it, just the final end not the entire sistem. Cheers
I'm thinking you would have better accuracy with 4 gauges. I would not sync my carbs with a single gauge. I still ride a 99 zx6r it's black purple mica and is a great lass!
Anybody have any experience with ram air mod? Bike will fire, idle, then die after a bit. I want to sync the carbs but I’m assuming I need to figure out the air box first if I’m correct?
I have one of the same number of half turns of the air needle each carburettor takes.
Where are the drain plugs for the carbs located? Also is there a better place to contact you?
Before removing the tank, unscrew your fuel knob makes taking the tank off so easy
Hi what is the gauge on the left of the speedo looks like a led screen is it a aftermarket fuel gauge ??
I have 4 gauges a lot easier to set the carbs up . Only thing I have to take the filter box off to plug in .
Which model carb balancer are you using, SK or BK model
I have same bike.
what are the signs that carbs are out of balance ?
O carburador numero. 1 da esquerda,o primeiro ja vem ajustado de fábrica,ai vc ajusta os outros 3 igual o numero 1,o numero 1 nao tem parafuso de ajuste,serve de orientaçao para regular os outros 3 iguais
I just ordered this sync tool to use on my 02 r6. Do you recommend this tool or the usual carb sync tool?
