I'd do the sump plug thread repair while the exhaust is off
Manometer: mine works very well, the T/bodies were out a fair bit.
Pretty straight forward to use.
Lift the tank & instal the prop up bar.
Remove the airbox then remove the IA(Temp) & IA (Pressure) sensors from the airbox & re connect their respective plugs & earth them to frame with tape or a rubber band. Make sure the Pressure Sensor lines are connected properly, check them all the way back !!!!!!
Remove the outboard rubber sense line from #1 throttle body & blank off temporarily. Remove the remaining 3 rubber blanks from the other throttle bodies. Connect the manometer vac lines to the throttle bodies (in order) & fire the beast up & check the idle speed (1150). If you need to adjust the idle speed, first check & if need be, adjust the TPS setting via your " dealer mode switch "
You should now see the "steel columns" rise up their glass tubes & give a stabilised steady indication. If any are fluctuating, additional damping (restriction) is needed in the vac line OR you can average the reading.
There are 3 adjusting screws on TB's 2 3 & 4.
The workshop manual (4/67) just states "now synchronise throttle bodies" (yeah no worries )
I just noted # 1's reading & synched the others to it & they are all now within one tenth of one inch HG.
When you adjust the TB screws, put a finger under the base of them to prevent the TB from snapping open & revving the shit out of your bike
It's idling a lot smoother now & is more responsive so I'm a happy camper <i></i>
