thanks for all the info guys keep it coming, but there seems to be a bit of a difference between some of you guys. Some guys spend a ton and some not so much? is it all just preference or bikes?

i just got a new FI bike and was reading the owers manual and found a part about syncing the TBs every so many miles.
so really other than waiting a few sec for the carbed back to warm up,(but even my FI bike runs like shit cold) there isn't much difference. well other than any FI bike you buy will have never had this done...lol where the carbed bike should have, because everyone knows about it needing to be done to them.
