Most carb "problems" are probably caused by vacuum leaks.  Syncing carbs is just a maintenance procedure; takes about 45 minutes max and most of that time is setup and buttoning up afterward.

Vacuum leaks wouldn't be a problem, but syncing and rebuilding carbs is something I'm not familiar with and there is no one in my area that  is knowledgable  with Valkyries. Even a guy at the Honda shop didn't seem to know what a Valkyrie was!! Cry

For a carb sync, I use a Twinmax Carb Synchronizer and it makes for an easy DIY job.  And if you have other buddies with multi-carb bikes, you can share the cost.  There might be other cheaper places to buy one but Google found this one.

Thanks for the heads up, I didn't know they made anything like it. The way you talked about sharing the cost, I thought it was big money! lol No all by buddies have V-Twins, mostly HDs, I'm the  only one with 6 cyls.! Grin
