Maintaining a motorcycle’s performance requires attention to detail and the right tools. Throttle body synchronization, a critical aspect of this maintenance, is often seen as complex, but with The Digi Sync, it becomes remarkably straightforward. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through the process of using The Digi Sync to synchronize your motorcycle’s throttle bodies.
Step 1: Preparation: Start by ensuring your motorcycle is on a stable surface and the engine is at operating temperature. This ensures accurate readings during the synchronization process. Familiarize yourself with The Digi Sync’s components and instructions for connecting it to your bike.
Step 2: Connection: Connect The Digi Sync to your motorcycle’s throttle bodies (or carbs) as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 3: Observing Readings: As you start the engine, The Digi Sync’s display will show the vacuum pressure readings for each cylinder. The goal is to adjust the throttle bodies until these readings are as close to each other as possible. This indicates balanced synchronization between each carburetor.
Step 4: Adjustment: Using the information from the display, make small adjustments to the throttle body screws. These adjustments will impact the air pressure in each cylinder. Observe how the readings change as you adjust, and aim for uniformity among all cylinders.
Step 5: Iteration: Achieving perfect synchronization might require multiple iterations of adjustments. Continue making minor adjustments and closely monitor the readings. The real-time feedback from The Digi Sync allows you to fine-tune the synchronization with precision.
Step 6: Validation: Once you’ve achieved balanced synchronization, let the engine idle for a few minutes to ensure stability. Recheck the air pressure readings to confirm that they remain consistent.
Conclusion: Throttle body synchronization doesn’t have to be a complex task that only professionals can handle. With The Digi Sync, even beginners can achieve precise synchronization by following these steps. This electronic tool simplifies the process, making it accessible to all motorcycle enthusiasts who want to keep their bikes running smoothly.
can I use the 4-carbs unit for 2carbs also?
will this work on my 1973 BMW R75/5 twin cylinder Motorcycle ??
Lee,
Yes you can use the 4-Channel unit with only 2 carbs. Just leave two of the hoses hanging free. Do NOT plug the hoses with anything.
Yes, it’ll work great on that motorcycle. Also, you’re in luck, as “The BMW Guy” literally just released a video showing how to use The Digi Sync on that same motorcycle! Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aedu-kGulkk
