I am going to try to sync the carbs on my Kawasaki ZX6R J2 using a really easy synchronisation tool, the STE synchronometer carburettor flow meter. This should be a similar process for most 2 and 4 carb setups.
I have previously stripped and cleaned the carbs after the jets became blocked with stale fuel. I only attempted to sync them by eye that time so am certain they will be a little out.
J1 / J2
Here’s a link to the synchronometer I bought:

Great video mate. So nice to see someone doing maintenance videos on this bike - it really helps! I was wondering if you were planning on doing a video on how to change the spark plugs? Im sure it would help a lot of us out!

Hi Luke, not planning to do that as did a couple of years ago - it’s not that tricky but they seem a long way down and you’ll need a universal joint. Thanks for watching!

BEFORE removing the fuel tank, fire it up and let it warm up to make the temp funnel not so much of a PIA mate. The 4 minutes it takes to remove it and remove the air box cover it will still be warm. I use a 1 Gallon self made carb feed for these kinds of things, syncing and testing, and it is much safer that releasing explosive vopors all around your shop with a running bike....FYI.

Hello Mate, great video, I was wondering I have the J1 and was wondering if you can recommend me a exhaust for it, just the final end not the entire sistem. Cheers

Hi, thanks for the sub and glad you liked the video. The end can I have is a Micron and was on the bike when I got it. For me, I love the sound and with it being carbon fibre bodied it looks good on the bike too. It is road legal but not sure if it is supposed to have a baffle or not but it didn’t come with one. Its also much lighter than the standard one. It’s the only one I’ve tried, other than the standard one I used to throw on for the MOTs, so can’t really give you any other recommendations.

Is it running poor or not at all? If running poor stick some “Mechanic in a bottle” in the tank (as in this video) which will help with cleaning the carbs. If not at all it could be the fuel pump - check your fuses and also have a look at the filter to make sure it’s not blocked.

I would expect it depends how far out of sync they are but would certainly expect a rough idle. Not sure about other symptoms as I am no expert.

@bikenut
@bikenut 6 ай бұрын
Thanks for your comment but I don’t think that is correct. With this carb, 1 and 2 are sync’d with the adjustment screw between them, the same then for 3 and 4. Once you have 1 sync’d with 2 and 3 sync’d with 4, you can then sync both pairs with the adjustment screw in the middle.

Entao estamos falando de configurações diferentes no mesmo modelo de motos,porque aqui no Brasil a zx6r tem apenas 3 parafusos de sincronismos nos carburadores que sao 4 carburadores,o numero um da esquerda ja vem calibrado de fabrica como referença para os outros 3 carburadores se vc possuir o vacuometro de 4 relógios vc vai ver que so consegue ajustar o 2 o 3 eo 4,tendo como referencia o numero 1, 34 anos trabalhando com motocicletas 21 anos em autorizada Honda
