I got an email back from Sean Morgan himself. He said that a discount is available but it all depends on how many you order.

I have been thinking about how to go about doing a group order on this but I honestly dont have the facilities in place to accept any form of money. He said that the discount will be 5 pound at best so i think its better if each person orders their own unit. I checked the postage and its 3 pound to anywhere in the world, 1 pound to europe and free for UK, so all in all not a bad price for a good piece of kit.

5 pound = $8.88 right now according to google. That's about 9% off.

No worries about getting payment. How about we order from them direct and tell him to charge us with FZ6-Forum discount as you mentioned?

That's kind of what I was thinking. Maybe he issues us a discount code by email?

Ok something like that I can go for...i'm in the middle of getting a special ring so i'm strapped...

Can we all then voice our interest in this and i will get back to them with a guide number and suggest an fz6-forum discount method upon ordering.

im interested

Count me in!

Thanks Scorphonic. The way I see it, one trip to the service center at the dealership would pay this thing off and no waiting while some lunatic mechanic rips your baby apart.

I will try to post a DIY in detail on throttle body syncronization in different thread with lots of pics unless someone decides to do it. Keep an eye out for it in the Garage Help section.

For the non-mercury, I thought it was just colored water but they sell little bottles of it so it seems special and you need to retop before every use or fill because they make you empty it?

According to the Motion Pro manual that came with the kit, the only time I have to refill it is if the engine sucks it up. The fluid contains Propylene Glycol (I'm guessing its water with extra stuff to keep it from evaporating).

Thanks!

EDIT: Does it look like this:

1) The manual does specify a specific pressure reading, but to synchronize the throttle bodies, the goal is to have all of them read the same pressure. So instead of looking for specific values, I adjusted each of them to be at the same level. Now if doing this and the adjustment screws bottom out or fall out, then I would start over. In the manual, should one remove the adjustment screws, it states to just reinstall it and turn it 3-4 times clockwise. Also, I calibrated the SyncPRO to cylinder #1 so might as well sync the others to it.

2) If one lifts up the gas tank and look towards the bottom of the airbox one will see a small manifold with numbers 2,3,4 and 5 on it. There are adjustment screws next to each number, these correspond to each cylinder. Not sure why they did not start with #1 tho...

3) If #1 was the most off and I sync everything to it, then the idle would probably be effected. In that case I just have to adjust the idle speed. Now if it was so off that I bottomed out or completely took of the idle speed screw (unlikely) then I would have to start all over again. This is why there is a given pressure value in the manual as a baseline, but honestly, unless someone has severely tampered with the engine, I would not worry about this so much. There is a very wide range of adjustment and for my FZ6 the most adjustment I made on the manifold was less than a quarter turn on cylinder #3.

And yes, that is exactly what the tool looks like.
