    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Colortune

I have one and works great for me..BUT REMEMBER..all my bikes re VM carbs.

From what I hear from guys that have CV carbs ( and one guy I let use mine with his CVs ) said it doesnt seem to show any color change as you adjust things. So buyer beware if you have CV carbs I guess.
 
Thanks all, I have VM's too Chuck... Just watching some of the videos online, looks much easier than plug chops.... Oh and for some reason over the past couple of weeks I have been hearing that term "bit of kit".... Its an epidemic or something.....
 
Correct on the CV carbs. I have CV carbs and a Colortune. Doesn't work. :) But it is a pretty cool device.

That was my experience with trying one on my MG. Absolutely worthless. Haven't tried it on the GS.
 
I have one (and VM carbs) and like it very much. I can never hear the idle change with the highest idle method, so the colortune addresses that quite well.

Not sure it obviates plug chops, since I would not use it to check the mid to WOT circuits. Can't really use the Colortune under load. But for sorting out the pilot, the Colortune is great.
 
Used one on Simon Keuther's bike ('77 750) before he came to pick it up from TheCafeKid. Worked GREAT.

Took it to tune my wife's bike ('82 850L), was rather disappointed.

Since you have VM-series carbs, it will probably work very well for you.

Thanks again,

I saw a youtube vid of a fella riding at night with a camera hooked up and recording the colortune colors... Suppose I may try that at some point....
