Throttle Body Synchronization

[cookie]

Bleed tests are only done on bikes with ABS, so if you've not got it then no test

i have got abs, test should have been done after front master cylinder change.

Yeh you need to do one on bikes with Integral ABS 1.Uasally on every service and everytime you go near the modulator(changing unit,changing fluid...)
It checks for air in the system,because the are 4 different circuits in the ABS system it is critcal the it is bleed 100%
Bleed tests are quite old,now they have moved on and call them a "Brake Check" which is alot more in depth.
As everyone knows BMW have had afew issues with the first gen Integral modulator,so the "Brake Check" is away to keep an eye on them at every service and posibly fix a fault or problem before they come a issue

So what's that got to do with balancing throttle bodies.... I'm lost..?

You carn't balance the throttles on a 12GS without a GT1,you need to shut down the idle actuators with the GT1 first.

Tell us more......mine are perfectly balanced with my trusty vacuum gauges at 4k rpm...

If you want to do a hash job,part of the service IS checking for faults Bleed test.... How do you do this in you shed??
Obviously you have spent alot of time on the GT1 unit and sevicing BMW's

Please don't be sanctamonious and sarcastic after such a short while on here. Some of us are degree-qualified engineers with a thirst for more knowledge (and thirty-six years of working on bikes/cars/building competition engines...)

I suspect that more than a few of us on here are of Chartered or Incorporated Engineer status with a massive amount of experience between us.....:

Any Marine Engineers here by any chance ??

Least said, soonest mended and all that.
