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.

    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

    I just ordered this sync tool to use on my 02 r6. Do you recommend this tool or the usual carb sync tool?
