Wasn't able to ride until yesterday and I really paid attention to the sound. The most accurate description seems to be closest to a piece of fabric flapping in the wind at high speed. The sound starts at about 4800 RPM and to my ear is coming from the front of the engine (As I lean forward over the gas tank). I can't replicate the sound unless I'm moving, it doesn't manifest itself while stopped. The more I have looked around the net the more it it seems to me like the throttle bodies might not be synced correctly..On the other hand I am a mechanical ignoramus and might just be latching on to that idea since it was the last thing I looked at. If I try and balance them myself using a home made manometer () can I destroy anything? I want to try it as I think it would be good experience, but if there is a chance that I could really break something important I'll suck up the time and money and take the bike in...
BTW thanks for everyone who has chimed in, I know if must be frustrating when someone like me has a problem (or thinks they do) and can't articulate it well. So thanks for the patience.

Though I'm not an expert, i don't believe you can destroy anything.

If you don't want to take the time to build you own own bulky manometer like that, you could get a twinmax - they go for around or a bit under $100
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.
