Kwasaki Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Bike stripped as much as possible to get at plug cylinders so getting ready to do 'colortune' so rigging up a fuel line, it's hot in the carport so 3 fans to place that will be on full speed ????. Changed the green type fuel pipe with proper original fuel pipe, maybe it would of been ok for a while as others have said but it had shrunk in size and become hard so that convinced me to change it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwasaki Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Coloortune on this type of bike impossible can't see blue yellow nowt, should of stuck to the old fashion manual way which still needs stripping down to how I have the bike now so only $55 down the drain. ???? 1 Coloortune kit going cheap. ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm jeff Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Kwasaki , dont give up just yet. The colors are very faint/dim. They will be better seen if you are in a shaded area , or when its going dusk. Any daylight will render the colors too faint. Can you work in the shade/under a tarp/in the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I getcha if you have used it so thanks buddy, what I'm trying say there just isn't the room on this design of bike, if I could find a midget with tiny hands it may be possible. On say a bike with exposed plugs ok, maybe bikes where the periscope is needed like mine have room, mine doesn't there are too many obstructions in the way. I bought it because it seems to be a good tool used by many on many a bike, if I wanted to take the engine out and test on a bench good but I don't want to do that. After reading the full instructions as they say the petrol engine isn't and cannot be perfect even from new, fuel injection makes it better we all know that. A carb engine is very different and rev ranges alter mixtures multi 4 carb engines are a monster. I will tune the carbs the old fashion way following the bike manual instructions using the Tacho and then later buy some copper core plugs to monitor the air/fuel mixture by colour of the plugs. Sorry I'm rattling on and could forever. ???? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthai55 Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 Harder - with unleaded fuel - to get a good color on the insulator. I have found that buying one of those illuminated lighted magnifiers allows you to look up into the insulator and get a good view. Also good to see if there are tiny specks of shiny stuff too - could be glitter from Xmas - but most likely small flecks of aluminum from the piston crown if running lean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the young kid down the street who revs his bike... Serious? Is the periscope bit plastic? Can you cut and shut it so it fits?

Is the periscope bit plastic? Can you cut and shut it so it fits? Thanks, yes and I did try all sorts of ways. just to explain. What makes it nigh on impossible is the engine in the frame position and a 10mm plug size in a deep recess within the cam head cover. I re-positioned the coils so I had better access to no avail. I guess it could be possible to use colortune if the cam cover was removed, the cam head would have to be removed to get to No.4 cylinder plug anyway. I think would of been good to use this new tech stuff but never mind. The way I go will be tacho idle drop procedure which is what I have done before when I had the same bike in UK, when fitting carbs with dyno jet & needle kits. The adjustment I assume will be small, engine sounds good with just factory set up position, idles sweet, and the throttle blips without hesitation and under power the bike drives instantly on road acceleration. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
