carb balancer

[Zantoz_SWE]

hi there,
does anyone have a carb/ throttle bodies balancer I could borrow? Maybe for a couple of days, or over the weekend.

Seems the R1 got the flu and I am trying to sort it out.

cheers

try sending R2 here on the site a pm . he made a carb balanser himself and it worked perfect.. maybe he can give you some help .. it was basicly a plastic hose with fluid in it and markings to keep track on things..

good luck

How are things going with your bike?

Carburetor balancer? Does the 2005 R1 even have carb:s?

Almost every engines have carburators, even those with injection.

And always thought the ones with injectors had throttlebodies and not carbs...

Still need syncing though

Wrong and right.

Right.

its got throttle bodies but its the exact same tool. Thats why I said carb/throttle bodies in the original message to AVOID the thread going into that direction of course I failed.

You know that there was a recall for R1 -05 where they replaced the TPS ?
Is that done with your bike?

AHA!. I didnt know about that. Just checked online. Yes there was such a recall which might explain the problems I am having with the throttle. Not sure if It has been done on mine but I ll find out.
Thanks

by the way. The problem I am having is this. About 2-3 weeks ago, I noticed that when riding and revving up through 5000 rpms the bike would cut off for a second and then jump forward. As if you close and open the throttle very fast (or as if no fuel was fed in for a moment).

This happens about 30 minutes into the ride. The next time I went for a ride, it hit at 7000rpm so its not the same rpm number every time. And when I was coming home the bike just totally cut out!! Electronics, lights everything.!!!

I thought it was EXUP valve, but no. Then air-filter but no. So maybe its the TPS. I ll check that out.

Also, is there a sure way I can find out if I have the old style TPS or the new TPS? I know its only the primary one that needed to be changed and I heard somewhere that the voltages may be different. I have also found some serial numbers.

Any other way?

I think they marked the bike with an extra star stamped by the framenumber.

Ah!!! thanks a lot!! easier to check out than getting access to the TPS. cheers

Back in action!!!!

Well folks, I am back in action. Just had the TPS fix from Yamaha (at no cost ) from Beviks and the bike is alive again.

Not sure how you understood that was the problem Stefan before I even describe the symptoms....but
