Perch Posted May 21, 2009 #1 Posted May 21, 2009 Any Chicago area members with a carb tune kit who would be willing to tune my carbs so I can learn how to.
Eck Posted May 21, 2009 #2 Posted May 21, 2009 Im not near you but if you can make it to Freebirds Maintenance day on saturday June 6th there will be many folks getting thier carbs tuned...... Freebirds place is in Oberlin, Ohio
wahco1956 Posted May 21, 2009 #3 Posted May 21, 2009 I'm in the quad cities (Moline) if you are in the neighborhood I can help. We also go up to the galena area sometimes. Tom
stardbog Posted May 21, 2009 #4 Posted May 21, 2009 I'm in Chicago's Northwest side just of I-90 - I-94 junction. and I have carbtune. I can help you sync carbs. That's good reason to call Chicagoland M&E There is some good eats in your area, or just give me a call I will be riding round this weekend
BOO Posted May 21, 2009 #5 Posted May 21, 2009 I don't know nothing about the carb tune but I do know about "meet and eat". BOO
jemorrisonjr Posted May 21, 2009 #6 Posted May 21, 2009 I'm up in Milwaukee, and if you still need help let me know
TrainMaster Posted May 21, 2009 #7 Posted May 21, 2009 I'm in Yorkville and I've got a CarbTune. I'm fine with checking them, but have honestly never had to adjust them . . . yet. I'm sure we can do it. When you coming by?
stardbog Posted May 21, 2009 #8 Posted May 21, 2009 OK Jerry, do you know any good eats round Fox River Road (IL 31).
BOO Posted May 22, 2009 #9 Posted May 22, 2009 OK Jerry, do you know any good eats round Fox River Road (IL 31). Gots to be lots of places down around where Perch lives. Someone pick out a spot and we will show and then Dan can fix Dan's Carbs. BOO

Perch Posted May 23, 2009 Author #11 Posted May 23, 2009 Thanks to all. I live in Aurora. I will contact those close by to arrange a convenient time. I'm not sure my carbs are out of tune but read many posts even on new bikes that needed adjustment. I have a 2007 Midnight Blue RSV. Yes there are some some good eats around. Name is Dan.
frankd Posted May 25, 2009 #12 Posted May 25, 2009 I live in Plainfield and I'd be happy to show how easy this is. Frank

This is a timely thread. Fellow member YamaQman and I are planning to purchase a carbtune kit, but we would love to see how it should be done first. MyPalomino is in need of the procedure and maintenance day does not look possible. My wife and I were caging through your area this past weekend, in transit to and from Lake Geneva, WI. and got a taste of the type of asphalt offered in Northern Ill. I would love to lean into a few of those twisties. Thanx for keeping us in the loop. Jerry

The water tower here in town is painted like a basketball, you probably seen it when you came through town. As a matter of fact I was through your area a couple of times over the weekend, was traveling south on I65 Saturday morning and north yesterday afternoon. But I was on the bike. Did a little 750 mile round trip just to check out the new rear tire. Stop some time when you are in the area. BOO
stvmaier Posted May 25, 2009 #16 Posted May 25, 2009 I'm in Kankakee....have carbtune, and willing to share!!! I'm no pro...only did it once, but it made a huge difference to my bike. PM me if I can help!!
skydoc_17 Posted May 25, 2009 #17 Posted May 25, 2009 For those of you with a Carbtune (or any other Manometer for that matter) here is a link to a writ-up with pics of the Carb. Sync. using the Carbtune Manometer on a First Gen. The proceedure would be pretty much the same on a Second Gen. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=35274 Hope this helps, Earl
jarrejx Posted May 26, 2009 #18 Posted May 26, 2009 Jerry, You came right through my town to get to Lake Geneva.

Did a little 750 mile round trip just to check out the new rear tire. Stop some time when you are in the area. BOO Now, I remember why Hebron, IL was familiar to me...from your signature which I had read on your previous posts. We did travel through Hebron several times and I saw the water tower from the distance, but was not observant enough to notice its basketball theme. It is a terrific wide open area and I can't wait to get back there on two-wheels. I will definitely give you a heads-ups before the next excursion and a shout if our schedules permit. If you took the toll road to I-65 south then you were less than 2 miles from my abode, Calumet Avenue exit south. I-80/94 is even closer. The invitation to stop is mutually extended, when you make it back this way. I hope that new tire gave you a satisfying ride. Maybe we will get together when Perch puts this "carb synch seminar for newbies" together. Can't wait. Jerry

Yeah I went down 80/94, I prefer to go that way with the construction isn't to bad. The tire was good, the reason I even mention it is that I just got the bike back together about 6 pm on Friday night and go 0 miles on it before taking off at 4:30 on Saturday morning, but everything was fine. Looking forward to getting together with you guys, BOO (I'm really also a Jerry)
