I keep seeing threads on synch'ing carbs, and have been warned by my experienced bike friends that when an ad says "bike runs but needs carbs cleaned" it means "carbs need to be torn down, rebuilt, and synch'ed" The ability to synchronize carbs seems to be a very handy thing to have. How hard is it to learn to do this? Is there hope that a guy who has never rebuilt a motor nor torn a transmission apart could learn this?

Check out the following Web page from one of our very own GSR members, Brian Wringer. He has done a great job of compiling some extremely useful maintenance how-tos for the rest of us.
You should also check out the GS Garage series for more good maintenance info:
Welcome aboard, and yes, you can learn how to do it! :-D -

The only thing to fear is fear itself. It's actually quite easy, but you need to use a fan to cool your engine or you will melt your tubing.Comment

Its easy if you have the carb screwdriver.I did it for the first time the other day .It only take a few minutes and makes a big difference.I thought my bike ran weill before but now its a major improvement on performance!!! It idles quieter and run a lot smoother.Originally posted by MinnesotaTimComment

Great question and excellent replies guys.
I was thinking this same thing and was wondering about it.
I know my next bike purchase will be a synchronizer.[-o<
