If you are thinking about building a carb sync tool, then I would recommend using the 2-bottle method.
I just used it and it works wonders! SUPER fine tuning...
My bike revs so smooth now. it sounds so beautiful.
Iv tried the stick and tubing method, all I can say is, it sucks and you can risk sucking liquid into your motor.

Things you will need:
2 GLASS bottles (I used two 9.5oz Starbucks Frappuccino bottles)
12' of 3/8"-1/4" clear pvc tubing (the outside is 3/8", and the inside is 1/4")
1 3/8" drill bit
2 rubber stoppers OR rubber chair leg plugs/bumpers (I used 1.5" chair leg plugs)
4 6mm mig welder tips (there is ten in a pack)
optional
2 "Y" connectors that fit the 1/4" tubing.
2 1/4" rubber caps
# Zip-ties

Ill have lots of pics in a few days of the whole setup and everything you need to do.

There is a write-up for this on the kawa 250 forum, but I would like to make one for a 4-cylinder bike (FZR).
Ill be working on one to add to the wiki here.

It was Megaloxana that has shown me this method. THanks man

WIKI RULZ

I've used this method. The precision of setting between cylinders is incredible, if you stop and think about it. Using a vacuum gauge, you're comparing readings in inches of mercury; using a dP comparator, you're measuring (eyeballing) mm of water (1" Hg = 345 mm w.c). The FZR400 manual says the allowable vacuum difference between cyls (using mercury sticks) is 0.4 in Hg = 138mm w.c; the two-jar comparator allows you to get within 1 or 2mm w.c very quickly.
It's quick, it's easy, it's cheap - hey, sounds like me!

Where are the pics again?

That is pretty cool. I need to make an auxiliary fuel tank for when working on bikes.
