My '95 has 41K. Runs fine.

Never has had a sync.

Should I look into that or let lying dogs lie?

I would check it. I thought mine ran fine when I got and then when I did the sync it ran even better. If you want it to run great change the fuel filter, the air filter, replace the plugs with NGK irridiums and do a sync via the butterflies. Then it will run great. I consistantly get 49-52 mpg on the highway.

And if you have never done it, replace the crankcase breather hose Smile

I never get close to the kind of fuel milage!! I get 42 to 43 mpg. Unless I'm sitting I-5 with the cruise set at 80mph, then the milage drops to 36.

I just did a TB sync, and the thing runs much better. I am interested to see if the milage goes up.

Good evening all....

Isn't there a "TB sync procedure" somewhere in the stickies? I could swear we have been through this in detail at least twice ! If so, how do you research the archives, if possible ??

Best regards......// Ernie-NH

Drake,

Thanx, I think that will do it. As you say, looks pretty much straight forward except for the fairing stuff.

A friend with a R1150RT is buying a Morgan Carb. Tune Pro he says may be a good one for this job. Ever hear of it?

Rag.

I bought the four tube one from across the pond when I first got the bike. It's the greatest thing since sliced bread for doing the syncs.

Drake is correct. You can get to everything by just pulling the knee panel. But then I have little girly hands that fit in there.

It was pretty simple for me to pull the tank. I was very low on gas, so the tank didn't wiegh much. There was two of us. One of held the tank, while the other fiddled with the scews. Worked fine.

Thanx for all the info.
