Default trottle valve adgustment

With a help of a friend of mine I managed to adgust the trottle bodies using a mercury vacuum carb gauge /42$/ and the cervice manual.
The balance was a little bit off.
It wasan't too dificult to adgust it and now the bike works like a swiss clock.
I'm a big fan of "do it yourself as much as you can", not only to save money, but to become fammiliar to the bike I ride.
Dealerships are cool but I never know what they did to the bike and why is different now and all the othher questions that they don't want to answer.
So that's it, I just wanted to share my little victory from today.
cheers.
