I have balanced my air intakes with one of these today,
1. turned the first cyclinders screw in fully
2. screwed it out 1 and a half turns
3. balance all the others to that one
4. adjust the idle screw
it is now starting with the "choke" and ticking over when cold so running better.
The only thing is the needles were all in the red at the 200 ish mark about where shown in the following picture, I have heard that when using the carbtune II models, the ones with the stainless bars, that you have to hang them upside down to get them to read correctly with the k100's.
Am i right in presuming this is why they go the other way on this type of gauge or is there a problem somewhere?
The bike wasnt running properly at low revs and was using a lot of fuel, about 30 miles to the gallon.
As a couple of the screws only went in just about a turn im presuming it wasnt giving enough air and mostly fuel, so might be better on the juice now.
Anyone have any advice as if this is normal etc
