I'm planning on checking the synchronization on my throttle bodies for my 04' R1. It says it should be checked at 600 miles. My bike already has 1350 miles on it. I currently have a motion pro 4 tube carb/throttle body sync kit I purchased for $40. I'm planning on purchasing a device such as a digital tachometer with alligator clips, or a digital timing gun with RPM gauge and a spark plug wire clamp as the sensor.
Which digital RPM/tach device do I need to buy to measure the idle on my 04' R1?
Where do I connect either the alligator clips (I know the red alligator clip on the instructions say to connect to the negative of the coil), if I purchase a digital tachometer?
If I get the digital timing gun, where can I connect the spark plug wire sensor clamp? (I thought our motorcycle does not have a spark plug wire, but only the boot that goes into the cylinder head, with wires coming out).
Lastly, does anyone know any techniques on getting the gas to the bike, when the fuel tank is removed. I have heard people connecting a very long fuel hose, while the fuel tank is on a table or stand.
Any other tips such as the special long screwdriver, or tools needed or recommended?
