Thanks Kurt. Didn't expect such an odd thing to be available so never looked.

Anyone in the UK do them?

You may have all ready done this but both gauges should initially be set off the same carburettor.

Thanks for reply's. As you say a crude none return valve. An extra squirt of fuel just off idle as if the carburettor has an inherent flat/weak spot.

Could someone explain how this thing works. Have been unable to find either a good diagram or explanation.
I don't have a bike with this type of carburettor, waiting for a suitable R60/6 to appear on Ebay, but like to understand the inner workings.

Its worked for 100 miles and has enabled me to balance the carburettors. I think the best solution is to convert to a single cable with a bit more length ...

Have found this very interesting and agree that using the manufacturers recommended parts is the obvious solution as they will have spent much time and money developing. Now I used to run a 1985 R80 with electronic ignition which had an intermittent ignition fault that I could not find. As it was my...

In the UK we have E5 and E10. The only thing I notice is it the idle speed is higher with E5, more combustible?

I have this problem on my R100R and and fighting shy of carrying out this fix in case it compromises head gasket sealing as only one rocker is affected and would require two head nuts to be slackened.
Did you have any of these problems?

Have owned two R80's over the last 30 years, one twin shock the other mono. Both had a single throttle cable to a junction box under the tank then separate cables to each carb, never any problem. My recently acquired R100R has two cables from twist grip to carbs. and are proving to be a pain due to ...
