How to synchronize the throttle the Kawasaki ZX-14

 Synchronize the fuel injection with a special meter that reads the pressure. Synchronize the throttle bodies on a Kawasaki ZX-14 requires mechanical expertise and knowledge of the motorcycle. The work involves removing the gas tank and fairings, seat to access the throttle bodies and using a pressure gauge that provides readings of fuel volume. Those with limited knowledge of fuel injection should outsource to a qualified technician to Kawasaki. If you have experience with injection systems on sport bikes, you'll find that the procedure is similar when you synchronize the throttle bodies on a Kawasaki ZX-14.Difficulty: moderately ChallengingScrewdriverRagsHex wrenchTwin-manometer1 gauge

Loosen and remove four screws on the air box cover with a screwdriver. Lift the lid off the box and disconnect the breather tube attached by hand. Insert the screws and cover aside.

2

Locate and disconnect the electrical connectors in the front and on the side of the hand throttle bodies.

3

Stuff a clean cloth each throttle body opened inside the air base to avoid dropping hex bolts in bodies. Loosen and remove four hex bolts at the bottom of the box with a wrench. Put aside the bolts.

4

Lift the air box and disconnect the crankcase ventilation pipe from base to hand. Remove the air box and set it aside. Take the rags out of the throttle bodies.

5

Pull the small caps from the throttle body left and right hand balancing fittings. Save the caps. Connect the pipes from the air pressure gauges for balancing. Rest gauges on top of the bike in front of the throttle bodies.

6

Start the engine and let it warm up for 2 minutes. Adjust the idle to between 1250 and 1350 RPM.

7

At the base of each throttle body, locate the recessed brass screws. Turn right in both cases screw with a screwdriver until the right counter gauge reads 0.38 LB. Rotate the left in both cases until the left counter reads the same.

8

Twist grip throttle to the handlebar, once and let the engine back to idle. If necessary, turn the screw both throttle body so two readings are precisely 0.38 LB.

9

Turn off the engine. Disconnect the throttle bodies from metro lines. Reconnect the caps saved finishes balancing.

10

Reconnect the air box and cover with the saved bolts and screws. Reconnect the electrical connectors in the front and on the side of the throttle bodies. Reconnect the crankcase breather hose to Carter. Reconnect the fairings, the gas tank and seat.

If necessary, use a gauge of injection carburettor/fuel combination.
