F800/F650 Twin Throttle Bodies Question

Post by Boxer »

Rob?...Or anyone else who may know for sure...

Since the F800 is a twin, will it require throttle body synchronization? How are the TBs simultaneously actuated? I have looked at the parts list but can't quite put it all together.

The TB's are very close together and the synch adjustment is a blue painted ("do not touch") screw. My bike:

That type of very solid setup (no cables) rarely needs adjustment.
