Two weeks ago I decided to try a yamaha dealer closer to were I live, they have a sniffer, the dealer I bought the bike from is the one who did the service since I bought the bike new, I always insisted on one mechanic to do my bike to the point that if he is not in I would wait and go another time, why do I insist on only one mechanic to service my bike?
CLEANLINESS, that guy is meticulous!
Any way, That other dealer had a mechanic that looked experienced so I let him sync the carbs and adjust A/F mixture using the sniffer, Well the tuning feels disappointing though the bike is ~ smooth, the engine sound and vibration level is not so rhythmic as I was expecting from tuning with a sniffer.
Now two weeks later I developed more appreciation to Al the mechanic at the first dealer, though they don't have a sniffer the bike always felt perfect, with the engine Rhythm like a song!
What a difference an experienced mechanic has tuning by ear:ryb: vs the machine numbers say its tuned!
I'll go back to my first mechanic and get him a nice gift next time.
