So is it possible?
I do not have a manometer.
Here’s my theory and happy to have it critiqued to death.
Stock XS650SH, stock pretty much everything. Points on this one in Australia.
If I set my idle higher and disconnect a plug lead from each side one at a time, then change the balancing screw so that the same RPMs are happening each side, how does that sound? Then once same RPM each side I put both leads on the plugs again and readjust my idle to normal.
My right pipe has more puff coming out of it but that could be due to the steel rod that was whacked
up each side previously, to allow the pipes to breathe better. (Not my idea).
Having said that, the crossover tube should take care of this factor a bit.
I feel it’s more important to have the same fuel/ air going into the pots than to have the apparently same exhaust pressure coming out each pipe.
What do you think? Is this a potentially helpful way of approximately balancing the carbies ?
Maybe there’s a flaw in my logic somewhere.
I’d love your opinion. Maybe with a summary Yes or No at the beginning of your reply. (I’ll tally the votes).
