[QUOTE="ELP_JC, post: 272195, member: 6177"] Sprint, nobody can claim power gains with a proper TB (unless way off); it's all about SMOOOOOTHNESS. Haven't done it on the FJR yet (waiting for tool), but just to give you an example, on my SV1000, the difference in smoothness with only 1/16 of a turn (on throttle plate screw) was incredible. Didn't notice an improvement (how engine sounded or felt) at idle, even though it's a V-twin, but before, my hand started tingling almost immediately, and after, not a problem even on a 300-mile ride. Remember cruising requires very little throttle opening. You're correct in pointing out at much larger openings the difference becomes less and less. As a comment, even before I adjusted the synch in the SV, it was within spec. Just to show the difference a precise synch does to smoothness. Oh, and the slight surging was gone too. Hope to be able to do a similar job on the FJR, with the hopes of knocking down the surging a few notches. JC [/QUOTE]
