Anyone around my area know anything about carb balancing/syn

[rich1988]

Prompted by neosophist kind offer to balance/sync my carbs (sadly he is three hours each way from me!) for me I am just wondering if there is anyone within about an hour of the swindon/marlborough area that I can travel to that would be able to do it/show me how to (I dont have the neccesary tools at the moment)

I realise it might be a bit cheeky I just thought it would be nice to actually learn how to do it hands on rather than just take it to a garage (which I will do if noone comes foward) and its always nice to meet forum members!

Obviously I will offer some sort of compensation whether its beer or some beer tokens

thanks :)

you can try Greg at bob missen motorcycles in melksham he did mine last week,
ring him to book in 01225 793200, there postcode is SN12 6JX for multimap reasons

cheers dude, ill give him a ring if noone else offers :) (would rather go and see a person rather than a business but I doubt anyone is going to offer so I may end up giving him a buzz :) )

sorry rich i didnt read all your post , if you dont get anyone local then give greg a try , it is a bike workshop so you will get charged but im sure you wont pay over £50 and it would be money well spent , a mate at my work used to race sometime ago and his dad used to work with greg at missen , greg is an old chap (prob approaching retirment) he told me to go see him as he is a wizard especially with hondas and theres not much he dosnt know, he told me alsorts of stuff i didnt know , and bits and bobs of good info regarding the valve and shims etc, i know just about anyone with a carbtune can do it but it was nice to know that some one with a bit of racing history and 40+ years as a motorcycle mechanic has set up my bike, it gives you a little peace of mind if you know wot i mean also he was quite happy for me to hang around and watch as he did it , rather than buggering off and coming back a bit later to have it done ,

Given him a ring, going to take it down so he can have a listen and decide what needs doing!

[ibby4585]
