Carb balancing
It's been a while since I set up the carbs on a 4 cylinder bike, but as my other half has bought a NC23 I thought I would dig the carbtune out!
I've just had ago and have got them "ok"ish but not as good as I would like, the bike hunts when idling so I think I will be stripping and cleaning the carbs soon but for now does anyone have any hints/tips for next time I do it?
I did 1&2 and 3&4 and then balanced both sets together by the middle screw, I seem to remember the last 4cyl bike I did you could disconnect the linkage in the middle so you set up two at a time without the risk of upsetting the other set. Is this done on the CBR?
