Thanks for the great replies. I was given a good suggestion to join the carbtune hose to the throttle body hose via the restrictor tube. Seems...
Mileage too
I am going to do a synch using a carbtune on my 2006 VFR and have a question. Do you connect the hoses ( restrictors installed) coming from the...
