Carb sync adapter ? : Yamaha R1 Forum

Is there any problem with leaving the adapters in the engine & using small vacuum plugs to cap off these tubes instead of removing them.

Syncronizing the carbs would be rather fast if the tube replacement was not involved.

If you did this, did you use the o-rings for seals or the brass washers?

Thanks in advance for any info.

pm martinc. I think he left the adapters on. Also if you check the carbtune website the sell extra adapters just for that reason.

Good idea, I don't see why not?

Thanks guys,
I appreciate the info.

It would be well worth the cost of the adapters to never have to remove & replace them. I may actually check the carbs a few times a year since it will be easier to do.
