    Digital Sync

    Took my bike up to Tehachapi to my friends Kris V's house and had him digitally syn my carbs. What a cool tool. I had sync'd with mercury sticks and they looked right on. Well, they weren't. They looked way off. The tool also checks pressure in each cylinder to see how close together they are and checks for leaky valves. I was good except for the sync. Rode it around but the bike ran like a dog because of the elevation. Put in some ear plugs and cruised home. What a difference. No handle bar buzz. I know I had the bike up to at least 120 and I could see with my mirrors.
    Thanks Kris!!!!!

    Gene, you need to get your 1150 over to Kris's house. He'll dial it in for you. For Sure!!!!!

    My powerband really kicks in about 6000. Before the sync the engine would vibrate at about 5000. Now it's smooth from start to finish. More power and better gas mileage. I didn't think the engine could run any better but it does.

    Digital? You mean with your fingers?

    Mr. chef1366,

    What sync tool was he using? Do you know the make/model?

    Thank you for your indulgence,

      I'll let Kris fill in that blank. All I know it's a $600 tool. :shock:

            Yeah I'd be interested in knowing which tool that is for $600. I'm just ready to buy a Morgan Carbtune. It's considerably less money and though not digital, I've read a lot of very good things about it. Still, I always want the most bang for my buck and if the $600 tool is that much more accurate and versatile I'd consider owning it instead.

                    Hi all,it is a Motion Pro tool. motionpro.com The one I use is the big one $600+ they have two othe models and they step down in performance and accessories. they are $200+ and $100+. I will NEVER go back to the sticks:shock: and for all of you California people you can`t get the mercury sticks shipped into the state anymore due to it is considered a hazardous material[-X:roll:...so you people in Cali want to sync your stuff with out the big price come see me I was just on that site and other carb tools(not the expensive one) are for two cylinders and you need to buy an adapter for them so READ CAREFULLY.

                          The product description says accurate to .2 cm of vacuum. That is the same level of accuracy as a Morgan Carbtune (which is what I use)
                          FWIW.......yeah the Carbtune is precisely accurate as advertised. :-)

                            With my engine mods and the great sync my engine was too strong for the stock clutch. I had the aftermarket K&L clutch springs (advertised as 33% stronger than stock) and my clutch was breaking loose after 6500 RPMs. Plus some of my steels were a little shady. Last year I bought a complete clutch from a retired dragbike guy. V&H heavy duty springs, used steels and good fibers. I cleaned the other steels (which were in fine shape), put in the HD springs but used my fibers which still looked new and were in spec. No slippage now and I got a good three foot wheelie in third gear.:shock:
