Its AMAZING what a difference it can make. Mine was still lumpy after replacing jets & tubes but a carb sync sorted it out !

If you look here in KB you will find a 'make it yourself' carb syncer.

30 is bad even for stop and go city riding. When my 92 was new it got 44-45 mpg city... 55 or better highway.

Darn... what a time to have been away... I just caught your post. (Would have been nice to have 2 TDM's on the same road.)

I installed the tubes and needles, synced the carbs, and have been riding it the last few days to make sure everything was OK. I just got it inspected this morning and all is well.
I forgot how much fun that bike is to ride, having ben on my FJR for these last few years.
The only issue I see now is the trans cluncking more than I remember. Any ideas for that? It has a new chain and new hub dampers. Less than 100 miles on each. I know it needs a clutch soon, since the adjustment is already out to the limit. Could this be affecting the trans "clunk" mostly shifting from 2nd-3rd gear? It's fairly loud shifting throught the other gears, but 2nd-3rd gear shift seems to be the worst.
Thanks again people. You're the best! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif[/img]<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Just takes practice... about 10 years of it.

50-60mm it <b>should</b> look loose, the chain tightens as the suspension compresses.
