    In theory yes, functionally though I say no. The quartz would most likely break if you had the rpms up long enough to really get a good read. Plus things are VERY different when the engine is under load (driving down the road) in comparison to sitting in the garage on the center stand, so I would say you would not even be able to get a good read anyways.

    Might even say thing instructions no to rev the engine up, don't remember.

      The instructions actually say to drop the RPMs below normal idle speed (i.e., 800 RPM) while setting the Colortune. I'd say it's not meant for higher RPM settings.

        Thx guys. Bike runs great after sync and colortune. I'll not try the higher rpm thing. Love these bike and this site. Thx again.
