carburetours diaphrams

I have a friend with a sync tool he just got we haven't had a chance to use yet any information or anything I should know when doing it

Make sure you set the valves and the bike is warm when you do it. Sync the carbs only at idle engine speed and use an auxiliary fuel tank or run a long line to the carbs from your stock tank so there is always gas in them. There are threads in the forum on this and on-line on carbs syncing. What is the system does your friend have? Liquid or dials?
