First ride since balancing the throttle bodies. Wow, what a nice improvement! Smoothed out the idle and pulls better, thru all gears. I have noticed a less vibrations at all speeds.
Ten minute job with tune ecu. 4 hours total fussing with the stock air intake system!
I was only 30 point off from highest to lowest reading before adjustment.

Just thought I'd share!

30 points off is a good reason to do the balance job. Well done.

10 minutes? Well done. I found the screws a right pain to get to with a very long screwdiver, do you have a top tip?

The Queen's English is throwing me off a bit, could you please explain top tip? But I did use a 12 inch long philips head screwdriver!

Top tip is just a way of saying a really good suggestion or helpful hint.
