Throttle Body Sync Question

Post by tmfirestone »

I checked the throttle bodies on my 2007 R1200R yesterday using a Twinmax and found the left cylinder drawing more vacuum than the right. My question is what do I adjust to get them in sync?
Previous models had the big brass adjustment screw.

Thanks!
Hope they have motorbikes in heaven!

Most likely the valves.

There is no adjustment at idle. You can ignore idle - the ECU controls the air-passages that replaced the BBS via stepper motors. In all likelyhood - unless someone has dicked (tech-term) with your balance adjustment - getting the valves right will put it dead nutz on. Even though I wrote the DIY for balance for the BMW-MOA Hexhead forum, I've never had to actually adjust mine. Get the valves right, and the balance is right on (it's set at about 1,400-1,800 RPM..)
