FWIW -
Have nearly 16,000 miles on my R-12s since buying it in May, of last year. My question involves throttle body sync adjustments and out of adjustments.
Specifically, done all the Dealer Mx/Svc. Here's my feedback on sync/valve adjustments:
o Out of the box, in Denver, the bike was "buzzy."
o Next day, changed oil at 200 mile, sync adjusted and most of the "buzz" went away.
o The 600 mile service sync/valve adjustment, in SLC, brought back a mild buzz.
o The 6,000 mile sync/valve adjustment, in CLE, made the bike ride "baby butt" smooth. Stayed that way until the 12K service.
o The 12,000 mile sync/valve, in Den, brought back a mild buzz that continued to get worse.
o Got my second set of M-3s (have gone through three sets total, original set was M-1s) at 16,000 miles. Mentioned buzz. They re-synced throttles and now it's gone back to being baby smooth.
In summary, from 6K to 12K the bike ran like glass and the sync never varied. However, from 12K to 16K it seemed out of sync and distinctly got worse.
In conclusion, what causes the throttle sync to remain stable? And what causes it to wander.
Any insight from our resident motor-heads???
With interest and appreciation....
