After replacing my own spark plugs, I had a wild idea that I could sync my throttle bodies a few weeks later. Found a video online for an FZ-09, and thought it couldn't be much different, so I went through the process of removing the gas tank, air box, etc. Now that I have access to the throttle bodies, I am unable to find the "by pass air screw" or "standard" screw. From my service manual, the screw head should be painted white, and it is the screw that has been calibrated to the ECU. The screws are not easily visible, and after about 30 minutes with a flashlight, all the adjustment screws look brass to me. I am unable to find any discernible marks on any of the TB. Also, I have a Carbtune Pro, but am worried I will not be able to make the adjustments without purchasing a carburetor angle driver, since the adjustment screwheads are buried so deep in the bike.
This job has proved to be a little more difficult then I thought it would be, I just hate leaving my bike with the dealer  Any tips would be appreciated. |

I've been able to successfully adjust the throttle bodies but I do remember the marking being difficult to see. I'd look around on the the TB as well because I seem to remember it either being hard to see or not where I expected to be marked. With regards to the adjustment I was able to do it just with some pretty small screwdrivers I had.
I'd also recommend checking the hose fitment, because I ended up have to get new connection hoses that attached to the TB because the ones included in the kit were not fitting well enough and led to no readings on the Carbtuner. Just a heads up!
