+1 what Abe said. No 4 is the fixed one, all others adjust to it individually. It might take a few iterations to get it close, and make sure you blip the throttle in between adjustments to make sure that the linkage is not affected by adjusting the screw.  Sounds like  3 was way out, but once that is fixed the others get in on the act.  I have the flow meter and the carbtunes, and each gets to the same point, the flow meter probably easier to use as the carbtune is too accurate so can make you frustrated with not being exactly right.

The readings I got first up sort of confirm my suspicions that the carb tune wasn't done correctly by the bike shop last time.

Even Heather reckons it sounds better from what she could hear from inside.

Yesterday I managed to get the carb balance sorted but in the process I unknowingly lost the clip that secures the hose underneath the air cleaner.

The hose marked with a red star and the clip do not appear in any of the carb related and air cleaner parts list. It's not a big issue as I can get another clip/clamp to suit.

My local Honda dealer has no idea either.

Honda uses those spring circlips that have two lugs that squeeze together to expand before slipping over the hose.

I used the clip that came off the coolant overflow hose. I ordered a new clip for the new coolant bottle which is the only items I need before I can put the bike back together.

It's just strange that clip and the hose aren't mentioned in the parts list.

Further info received from the phoenix site places the breather hose in the water pump section.........go figure.

It's all done. Ready to go back on the road when it's registered (online transaction) on Wednesday. Just need to check tyre pressures and she's ready to roll.

I haven't refitted the dash shelf as yet. I've mounted a twin 12 volt power outlet and waiting on the 15amp wire and fuse to arrive.

any chance of borrowing the carby balance tool?
Have not used one or seen one before, so will need instructions on how to use. Stuck here in Whyalla and nearest help line is Adelaide, so need to help myself.

Back to all things timing belt, I am looking at doing mine in the next 6 months as well replacing coolant and radiator hoses. I need to know what gaskets and seals I will need when I do the change. Not that keen on ordering a complete gasket kit as they tend to be a bit pricey. At minimum I will need the timing cover gasket and possibly a new water pump seal.
Can anyone who has done a belt change help?

I had already replaced the radiator hoses, so for the timing belt I just did the belt.  No other seals, gaskets etc needed.  The timing cover gasket is just compressible rubber that can the cleaned up and reused.  I did my belt at 150,000kms, 60,000kms ago.

How many k's on the bike as new belt not needed until 150,000kms. My old belt looked like new when I removed it.

at 150,000 kms I never had any issues with coolant leaks or anything so I left the water pump in place (if it ain't broke, don't fix it.....sort of thing).

The timing belt and cam drive covers are just plastic and mine never had gaskets. It's a dry environment so no need. Unless you intend to check valve clearances there's no need to remove the rocker covers either.

If you're replacing hoses then you'll need to remove the carbs to gain access to the hose clamps. Check that the two little elbows between the inlet ports aren't cracked, mine were ok but I put new ones in. I put new carb insulators in as after 14 years the old ones had gone hard.

My bike is a 2002 Ex police bike and it just hitting 145,000 K's. I know that a belt change is recommended at 150,000 so that is why I am  preparing to change my belt. Hoping I can change to two radiator hoses without disturbing the carbs as I don't have the equipment to retune them. As it is only 12 years old am hoping that all the rubber hoses are in good condition.

My original OEM hoses after 14 years compared to the new ones.......One was close to failing.

As for the tune up.......I never had anything either but the right tool was offered via Abe.
