    Best price etc..Been trying to find what I need for a week or so but can't locate one I guess? Did see one at $66 bucks but not even sure if that's the right one? It was 12mm but I think mine is 14mm? 82 xj750?

    You want the 14mm. I got mine used off of ebay for $25 shipped. If your in a hurry then you may have to find a new one and pay the new price. If you can wait then you can look on ebay for a while, you may find one there.

    Here theya re!:


    j5) Gunson Colortune Tuning Spark Plug ....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.


    NOTE: 12mm plugs are used on all XJ550 and XJ700-X models.
    14mm plugs are used on all XJ650/XJ700 non-X/XJ750/XJ900/XJ1100 models. No XJ bikes from this era used 10mm plugs!


    HCP95A Gunson Colortune Spark Plug Tool, for 10mm spark plugs:
    NOTE: NGK plugs that begin with the letter "C" are 10mm. No XJ-series bikes from this era used 10mm plugs!
    $ 54.00

    HCP95B Gunson Colortune Spark Plug Tool, for 12mm spark plugs:
    NOTE: NGK plugs that begin with the letter "D" are 12mm, and are used on all XJ550 models and all XJ700 "X" model bikes.
    $ 49.00

    HCP95C Gunson Colortune Spark Plug Tool, for 14mm spark plugs:
    NOTE: NGK plugs that begin with the letter "B" are 14mm, and are used on all XJ650, XJ700 non-X models, and all XJ750/900/1100 models.
    $ 49.00

    Just to throw in my two cents, that's a great price. I don't want to think of what I spent on a new but aged kit two years ago.
