[QUOTE="BritFJR, post: 731418, member: 20244"] I would say, if you're going to do a TBS, you might as well do it this way. I think the results are superior and, after you've done it a few times and gotten use to the procedure, it'll probably only take 10 minutes longer. I would agree, having done the servicing and TBS for six years (had bike since new for 8 years - dealer serviced while in warranty) this adjustment has made the engine much much smoother in the rev range. Since doing this adjustment the acceleration is very smooth and one other thing I've noticed is putting it into 4th gear in a 30mph limit at 2000rpm is smooth and it wants to pull whereas in the past it used to surge and going down to 3rd gear at 2500rpm was the only option. I've done around 800 miles since adj and my fuel consumption is better at around 50mpg was 43mpg on average. Regarding the vibes I haven't noticed any difference to the vibes felt at the bars at 4-4500rpm. I am definitely going to be incorporating this as part of the TBS in future. Well done FredW!!!
