Tenere 700 Throttle Body Sync Procedure At 12k km it was time to check my 2021 Tenere 700's throttle body sync, which I suspect is out a little, as the bike is no longer quite as smooth as it once was.  This requires some form of vacuum gauge & about 1 hour to remove body panels & tank to gain access to the throttle bodies, sync them & put it all back together....not a difficult job, just a little time consuming.  Bike Specs 2021 Tenere 700 Canadian model (Japan Factory) 12, 218 km 7,591 miles oem original spark plugs valve clearance oem factory Guglatech Ultra 4 Air Filter + FunnellWebFilters Pre-Filter Chevron regular 87 RON unleaded fuel  Required Tools #4 & #5 allen, T30 Torx, small diameter punch for push pin connectors, long needle nose pliers, small slotted screwdriver differential manometer or vacuum gauges - years ago I made an inexpensive & easy to make differential monometer that consists of about 6 meters or 20' of 5/16th" OD/3/16th" ...
