    Have you checked Ebay? I just purchased both for 70 dollars new.

    I purchased my ColorTune off of Ebay - i paid 29.99+9.99 shipping
    and i bought the -
    YICS Eliminator... The Ultimate Tuning Tool for Yamaha
    24.99+6.00 shipping

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/YICS-Eli ... ccessories

    I didnt see a 14mm colortune for the 29 dollar price, i only see the 10 and 12mm ones currently, but if you dont have any luck here you can keep an eye out on there.






    Chacal also sells them -

    vv7) Reproduction YICS PORT BLANKING TOOL---this is the tool you'll need to perform a proper carb synchronization on any YICS motor......without it, you're just wasting time. This block-off tool is used to isolate each cylinder from the others while performing a carb synch. Updated version of the factory #90890-04068-00 tool. Some people claim that this tool is NOT needed to perform a proper synch; we disagree, and so do the Yamaha engineers who designed the YICS system. Quality aluminum tool features a snap-open and shut trunnion handle design like the original. This is NOT a cheap home-made tool and has all the proper seals, dimensions, and high-temp insulators as an original factory tool. IN STOCK!

    HCP93 Reproduction YICS PORT BLANKING TOOL:
    $ 39.95


    j5) Aftermarket Gunson COLORTUNE TUNING SPARK PLUG KIT....brand new, no display box, includes all accessories and instructions. If you really want to tune your multi-carbs to perfection, you'll have to use this unique "see-through" spark plug that allows you to view the combustion chamber flame color in real-time, thus allowing accurate (rather than guesswork) adjustments to your idle mixture screws. Use it once and you won't believe how you ever got by without it, and will pity those who don't have one of their own. Beware: you'll find that a lot of people now want to be your "friend" and have you come and tune on their bikes, once they find out you have a Colortune!

    Also, please note! you can find quite a few of these plugs at a discount at various places, but most of these places are selling an older, now-discontinued "automotive" version of the Gunson colortune plug. While there are no fitment differences between the automotive and "motorcycle" versions of these plugs, just be aware that the automotive versions were designed to be used in a water-cooled engine, and thus have a significantly lower heat tolerance----and if these plugs overheat, the "clear" window either goes cloudy or just simply fractures.


    The following two video presentations show a Colortune Plug in action:

    and

    www.gadgetjq.com/Vulca...e_Test.wmv

    Please remember, though, that a Colortune is NOT used to set your carbs at anything other than idle rpm's!!


    NOTE: 12mm plugs are used on all XJ550 and XJ700-X models. 14mm plugs are used on all XJ650, XJ700 non-X, XJ750, XJ900RK, and XJ1100 models. No XJ-bikes from this era used 10mm plugs!
