    Gunson Colortune

    I've had a Gunson Colortune in the drawer for a very long time. I put it to use today on the XS11. Carburetor #2 was very close. The rest read very rich. I did the setup with a warm engine and fresh E0 fuel. I'm wondering what difference it's going to make. I'm going to find out. Yes, I followed by syncing the carburetors. Fuel economy last checked was 37.4 mpg.

      Yes. I should have put it on the XS11 years ago. I have only one bike tuned that way.

        I couldn't even get them close by ear. The Color tune is my go to. I always tune them in so that they are just a 1/4 turn to the rich side. I prefer that versus the lean side to guard against heat.
