1st post, 1st sportbike, how is everybody doing today? Good times.
I was wondering if anyone had some extra knowledge about the gauge used for synchronizing the throttle bodies. I found a couple of DIY gauge how-to's, but they were for Vtwins.
My question is- are all four mercury-filled lines connected at the base? I assume so, but I am not going to construct my own synch gauge without knowing this for sure. My plan is to make one with a small valve on the base that can isolate two of the lines, thereby allowing the gauge to be used for my buddy's 2-cyl SV650 as well.
Anybody ever make their own tool for this? I am looking to keep this on the cheap and have no interest in purchasing the gauge if it really is just four connected columns of fluid. My 09 is just under 600 miles and I want to keep up on the scheduled maintenance in the Omanual.
Thanks for your help, hopefully I can be of similar assistance to you in the future!
