Hi folks, i have a carbtune mercury model, black with a rounded back, and want to check my throttle bodies on my K1100 but i have misplaced the instructions, so can any body email me the instructions and any advice on how to balance the throttle bodies would be very helpful. Thanks for any help. Arty

Just got mine and played with it this weekend. It seems that the critical issue would be to insure that the restrictor tubes have been installed four inches above the end of the tubes that connect to the --they're little clear pastic tubes with narrow inner diameter that came with the carbtune.

The carbtune tubes themselves connect nicely to the tubes on the throttle bodies. The only other issue I see is making sure that you've got the carbtune unit itself handing vertically from the handlebars. The measurements, as I understand it, don't matter a great deal; what is important is that you adjust the TB screws until the four indicators ready roughly the same.

Now I should mention that mine didn't, and so now we're deep into the fuel system, having removed the fuel rail, injectors, and throttle bodies so that we can replace the bushings between the TBs and the manifold inlets, as those bushings were the point of the leak.

Don't know if that helps, but I'm just learning this stuff myself.
