Colortune spark plug

[rudy]

For those of you that know what a Colortune is, you know it's not easy to find locally. There's a guy in the GTA that has a 14mm set, brand new. He said I could have it for $45 shipped to my door. That's a fair bit cheaper than most of the ebay ones. I'd have it already, but I need 12mm. Adapters are available for 12mm and just about any size, on ebay as well. Or if you're just that good, you could make one yourself. PM me for his email and I'll get you in touch with him.

interesting item basically it shows if your bike is running lean or rich by the color of the spark you are actually looking into the cylinder to see the flame. little pricy for me I will stick with just looking at the plugs every 10 miles and if the electrode is a gray to brown color with 1 thread worth of carbon I am perfect.

cheap but it works for me.

I used one to dial in my XS650. Works like a charm. Pretty damn smart concept.
