Also, I'm using 87+ octane - Am I safe with this type? I have an '82 KZ750 LTD.

OMR, I've been reading your posts on this forum since 2006 or 2007 and the first time I heard about the ColorTune was two weeks ago. Have you been using one all this time? You could have said something."Color-Tune to see what was going on in the cylinders. "...
Thank you, for an outsider (other than me) just proved once again why this is a handy tool to have around... You can see what's going on in the chamber....
How much more easier can that be in adjustments and T-shooting....

Lynn, as posted in the link, I was turned onto this tool last year by a carb tuner on another website... This and the Morgan made a huge difference in learning the art of carb tuning, jetting and be able to understand "tune by ear"...
Example in this clip, you can hear the idle change as the color changes to bunson blue... And this was only the first carb!
NOTE: At the time of this clip, I didn't have the Morgan unit sync yet, first initial carb adjustments...
