N3FOL Posted October 12, 2008 Share #1 Posted October 12, 2008 I plan to do my own maintenance for the 600 mile service recommendation. I can do the oil change, final drive oil, and do a whole lot of safety checks. There is one thing that I am not so sure off...is the carburetor synchronization. How is this accomplished? Is there a special tool? and/or is it necessary this early in the life of the motorcycle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N3FOL Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted October 12, 2008 The 'Carbtune' looks like a very nice tool. Is this special tool only available at Yamaha dealers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N3FOL Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share #5 Posted October 13, 2008 Keith, I may order the carbtune soon. Thanks for the site in California. How about the meter to check for RPM/idle. What kind of meter did you get? I should find out exactly where the idle screw is in my Venture. Have you sync your carbs lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
