Carb Syncing Print E-mail
Monday, 26 September 2005
No this is not a "how to" on how to Sink your carbs in the nearest large body of water, but rather a quick covering of the bases on this process many bench race about but do not understand...

On most multi cylinder 4 stroke bikes the carbs will eventually get “out of sync”. The reasons for carbs to do this can vary but the results are the same. Less power, bogging at various RPM's, and poor performance.

We hope this tip on how to sync your own carbs helps. Keep in mind bad jetting or a damaged or “open” exhaust and electrical problems can cause these problems too. You should get professional advise on weather or not a carb sync will work for you. I have found a major difference in bikes I have synced.
