do you need to take apart the tb on an fi tho? we had to totally dissassemble the carbs on my bike to clean them, not sure on fi, do you have to on fi?

well i was thinking of syncing them... i just hooked up a gauge and turned 3 screws till they all read the same... i think the TB on a FI bike would be the same way..
as for dissassembled and cleaned... maybe i'm lucky, my 97 hasn't needed any of that...yet..lol
