Still got mine to

Doesn't get used so much these days, only now and again but a great piece of kit

I have had 3 kits and have all the sizes. Makes it nice for the trim. Push buttons and look. It is a bit fussy w/FI bikes and the spark plug lead, coil out put is sometimes inconsistent.
I have used a sniffer in tailpipe but always got a leaner idle. The color is better and not after the fact(O2sensor).

If you have weak ignition, a color tune will tell you to make it way too rich. Don't ask me how I know..  :evil:  :smiley:

I've still got mine, essential for proper jetting.

I still read plugs. Is that analog enough? I liked the idea of colourtune but I found plug reading more accurate. Now you can datalog? Do what you wish.

Unicorns lick my spark plugs until they are just right.

I do same thing. I can log MyECU on the tablet. It's a nice tool, I can also run it on closed loop(more data). And you can change it in actual on the go if you wish. I still like reading plugs.  There's a bounty on Unicorns here cause the plugs are getting too white(lean).

I like THIS video ... "They kicked me out of school 'cause they said I didn't listen - But Veronica knew I was heavy into Zeppelin - It doesn't matter if she's analog or digital"
