Throttle body sync tools
What are you guys using to adjust the throttle bodies when synchronizing them? If I remember correctly its a phillips head on the throttle bodies and all the carb adjusting tools I see have a flat head.
Also, on my previous bike I ran vaccuum hoses from the throttle bodies out to the sides to make it easier to sync them, anyone done that with the 14?

Ordered the flat head version of the motion pro tool, I'll make it work if it won't fit. Also ordered the sync pro thing. I'll let you guys know how they work out.

They worked. The flat head motion pro tool took a bit of work but it got the job done. The sync pro worked wihout a problem.

The screw will accept either a straight slot or a phillips.
I tested each t-body using a vacuum/pressure gauge from Harbor Freight. It cost 12 bucks, I think. It does not give a steady reading at idle but ok for a rough test. Speed the motor up to 3K and the needle will hold still.
Far as i know, the two t-bodies on the left bank are internally connected and the two on the right bank are also. This means that you really only need to test one of the two t-bodies on each bank. The vacuum should be the same in 1 & 2 if there is no internal damage. Same thing for 3 & 4. They will read the same. <

Yeah, it would be a lot easier with a phillips I think though.
1 & 2 or 3 & 4 are connected but I wanted to be sure they were the same (they were for me) so I could sleep at night. Wasn't too much extra work to test all 4.
#3 was actually easy for me to get to with only some wiring in the way. #2 was the hardest for me because the port is hidden behind the throttle body, but I was able to get the hose connected without removing anything other than the plastics.
