I just finished reassembling my bike last night, after adjusting the valves. Everything seemed to be in spec, but a few needed slight adjustments to be closer to their neighbor. Or so I thought.
She seemed to run well enough while syncing the carbs, which I think went quite well. I split my manometer in half and it was far easier than trying to work with all four hooked up at once. Much less time, almost none, was spent redistributing the fluid while working with only two at a time.
The quick trip down the road was not so great, strange surging and/or hesitation over 4k RPMs. Sounds a bit like a dirt bike as the revs climb, though this was starting just before taking apart to do the valves. I think I need to seek some local assistance with the proper feel of feeler gauges. Reading can only get one so far; this seems like something that will be much more easily communicated in person.
