Ordered! - i did forget to add that although ive not done it before im planning on doing the throttle bodies on my z1000 as well...ive watched a you tube walkthough and i did watch a lad from the ducati forum do mine (he very nicely came over to lend a hand and, bring his guages over) - but i must confess i hate borrowing peoples tools...i do like to have my own!!

Many thanks.!

Don't forget to fit the little restrictors when it arrives

It says there is no Mercury in what look like Manometer tubes - is there some sort of metal cone in the tubes that the vacuum pulls up into view to measure the flow?

Update:- Having watched the u-tube video I'm not sure what you are adjusting to balance the readings - is it the carb sliders or the air screws?

I’ve got a carbtune pro and used it on my boxer twin quite effectively. It has metal weights in the manometer tubes in place of the old mercury set up.

If I feel extravagant I will get the £259  esync tool favourably reviewed by Ralph Fernand in classic motorcycle mechanics which provides much more diagnostic capability ( worn valve etc) and accurate syncing
