Difference between carb syncing of a 1st Gen and a 2nd Gen ?

[KIC]

Hi guys

 

I have synced the carbs on my 1st Gen several times so I understand that process. The 1st Gen has only one carb hose going up to the advance.

 

The 2nd Gen I am bike sitting (riding ) sounds like it really needs the carbs synced. I noticed that there is the left front vacuum hose like the 1st gen, but there is also a 2nd vacuum hose on the right rear carb that disappears up to the top.

 

Do I need to do anything different to sync a 2nd Gen than a 1st Gen ?

Same same but screws are harder to find.

There is a difference in the sequence of which carb gets balanced to the other first, but I don't know the sequence off the top of my head. The concept is the same, get all 4 sucking the same...

I found that the Mechanical linkage on my 2nd gen. seems to be tighter, ie: less play in the mechanical parts. More " Prescise " so to speak, Less mechanical play, in the linkage moveing parts as compared to the old 89.

 

When I did the sync, on new bike at around 3000 miles, they were pretty far out of adjustment.

However, Very small adjustments brought it into adjustment.

 

I get the feeling that the 2nd gen will need a lot less adjusting then my 89 did,

 

I'm going to check it next week, again, curious to see how much it has changed in about 15K

Engine seems to be running just fine, though.

Once I set mine its been good. It was of a tad first time I sync'd. Checked probably 2 times thru the year last year and it looked good, so I left it alone.

Anybody know the sequence ?

 

Also, So I just leave the 2nd hose from the right rear disconnected too ?
