I got the Carbtune today!! I have to say its a well made tool and cant wait to try it .
At this time my KZ is running so good im hesitant to mess with it. But im defiantly going to be using it on my Concours first thing after i do a valve adjust later this week .
Im sure ill do the KZ too. :blink: :blink:

Plug them into the bike. Then you'll know what you want to do.

Steve beat me to it. It doesn't hurt to put the Colortune in and see what color the combustion is.

I used the Carb Tune this morning.
Not on the KZ but on my 03 Concours.
I can tell you it was well worth the money.
The local shop quoted me $125 to do the sync so I feel like it paid for itself right there.
It was very easy to use and greatly smoothed out the idle on the C-10 .

I just ordered a carb tune after finding that my old carbstick gave up the ghost. George did the carb overhaul on both my bikes years ago. If I recall it was a 6 week wait, but they came back very nice. Sure I had to tweak them a bit, but all in all, it was a good job. I had rebuilt them myself numerous times and over the years, some screw heads were wore out a bit, I never got them as clean as I should have, gas sat too long when I got deployed, they were pretty gummed up inside etc etc, which lead to me always tweaking on them. WbG by no means was inexpensive either, but he replaced everything, the carbs came back clean and shiny and I got no complaints.
