I came from a VTX R to this Valk mid-summer of 2015, so I thought “The Blue Beast” (my Valk) was running smooth. About a month and a half ago, I purchased the Digi-sync from Bons (aside – If you are thinking about it, do it). I finally got off my ever expanding and used the Digi-sync for the first time.  Roll Eyes

Initial readings on the digi-sync: Shocked
1-   310
2-   235
3-   245 (base)
4-   180
5-   238
6-   256

It WAS running smooth compared to the VTX, but after balancing all the carbs, I realized “The Beast” was so excessively rough, it was like riding an earthquake machine.

I don’t know what the numbers actually mean, but I brought all of them close together. While removing the vac caps, a few just crumbled.

As I balanced the carbs, the idle climbed all the way to 1800 rpm, which I adjusted to 900 rpm after they were balanced. All the carbs now sit in a TOTAL high to low span of .2in (5.06mm) of Hg (Factory book says 1.6in (40mm) Hg is standard). The bike rides like it is driving on glass now.
Thank you, Bons, for such a great tool.

I now need to get off my ever expanding and use this tool on my wifes’ Shadow Ace and My sons’ KZ750 … cooldude

Seems like whomever had this bike before me wanted it to ride like a Harley.  2funny

 cooldude Awesome. I'm telling you. I love my Valk. I care for it better then I do all my women. But its just hard to stomach 350 for a few time use. Not putting down Ron at all. Just wish I had a few Valks close where maybe we could go in on it. Mine feels like it runs great. But like you said. You don't know till you do it.

$350 ? Not even close. I got mine at Inzane for I think $115. I do understand what you are saying about not using it much. But it works great ! It's not going to go bad. And all your Valkyrie friends will think you are the man ! Also you can use it on any multi cylinder bike.  cooldude

What Rob says, I just bought one for $185.00 with the tub and magnet. $350 if you're buying 2 and leaving a tip.

What would it cost at the dealer to get it done?

My girls are hibernating at the present time, but as soon as I fire em up, SYNC-ed.

dealer around me quoted $300 Shocked to adjust valves and sync carbs. The only thing I didn't have the tools for was syncing carbs. Anyone in Idaho, you are welcome to chat me up and use my Digi-sync.

If you buy one you would be more inclined to use it more often. I just used to sync my C90 trike v-twin Suzuki. Worked great.
