Re: anyone used a carbtune on a v4?
Easy enough to use, but ensure you have a bucket of ice for putting your hand in after you burn it trying to adjust the screws. Recommend buying the proper adjuster tool which is a screw driver/socket at 90 degrees on a long shaft!!
Just found this it states not for Honda, but from my experience the screws on the carbs are slotted or you can use a small socket I think 7-8mm. item number on flea bay 390349421203.

yeah that's why I showed the other one and busters do a set for £50, but I'm sure the Honda one I've seen in the past looks like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorcycle-Ca ... 5ae2a37a93

You adjust screws on the linkages that connect each carbs throttle butterfly. Probably impossible without a right angled screwdriver!

Get your hand in there with a7mm socket, a pair of marigold help deflect the heat too.
