well, sorry for confusion , but what I meant is when I screw them in clockwise the vacuum indicator is going up on my Carbtune Pro ( I set it to spec at 218mmHG or so); so I am guessing at some point the screw will be in all the way; Of course I still should be able to sync them to the same...

does anyone know how many times those TBs can be synced, when we turn adjusting screws clockwise? Is there a limit and what to do after that? thanks

well, got my carbtune today; spend some time working with synchronizing screws and idle speed; revved it to 4000rpm and checked/slightly adjusted the sync at 4k as well; rechecked at idle and readjusted; pretty much set them as close to spec at idle (218mmHG) and within 10mmHG or so at...

thanks Jez. My rpms are very stable though, and I have not had electrical problems yet; I wil check out that area though behind the left cover to see if anything is different ( I used that side to add the switch 'ignition on' for my sound system amp through license plate light);

yes, as bike warms up my temp gauge shows more bars; ( in city with traffic and me not splitting lanes, the temp can go high and then fan kicks in, so I think coolant/engine temp. indicator is working); I tried to wait till those 2 blocks of temp go solid as well; usually I wait about 1-2 mins...

By the way , if I am getting carbon build up, where is it accumulating and how would I clear it up? thanks

Is CO adjustable on california models? I thought it is disabled in the diag mode, unless I am missing something. I will do the TB sync again this weekend to see if that helps.

thanks again and by the way , what do u mean system got loaded up if ridden under 7k rpm? is it bad to ride it mildly?( under 6-7k rpm)

well, I ride it year round, at least 1-2 times a week, even in rain; I used seafoam to let it clean the fuel system, and I wil use it again this weekend to see if any even slight change; then of course will check and examine the fuel tank , pump, fuel filter( got Haynes manual -- best...

thanks, I wil try to see who does it in the bay area for reasonable amount since performancewise I was fine without any PC3 or remapping before this current issue. ( I use bike as a primary transportation lately and do not care about too much power, just want it to breath naturally)

I do not have the access to dyno; the thing is that it used to run normal and now it is ill; what will dyno test show? (mapping problem?, fuel delivery issue?)

does anyone know/have/trust an experienced mechanic in bay area who will test ride the bike ? ( I do not think I wanna take it to K&C engineering or dealer for that)

I have original sprocket, all stock actually, except the sound system and cruise control; I think it is air/fuel related but I may be wrong of course; I will try the battery disconnect to reset ECU, etc. Plus I ordered carbtune from UK and will recheck the throttle body sync; ( the last...

thanks for your fast reply; chain is rust free and sprockets are good too; it is garaged; yes fuel economy is low, not sure way, been like this since day 1; I ride in city a lot too, though, but still keep the bike under 4-5k rpm in 3rd 4th gears mostly; I have givi top case and ride...

I have been a pretty happy owner of 2005 fz6 until 6 months ago; the bike was great till about 7000 miles -- lots of power , no buzz at highway speeds, no handlebar vibrations whatsoever; for the last 2500 miles it is been very dissapointing; In fact I am on the edge of selling it; It...
