FZ6If you’re looking for one bike to perform a multitude of missions, look no further.
Take it from Cycle World* Magazine - “For a more advanced rider looking for a bike to do it all, there is no other choice.”
I've used both a homeade manometer, and the carbtune. Naturally, I prefer the carbtune, but the homeade version did work. You still need a vacuum gauge in order to use the homeade version, but not for the carbtune. It is a good tool to have for those that don't mind spending money on tools. I've made good use out of mine, mostly on other peoples bikes.
Oh, and I bought mine used, so it was an even better deal.

every bit as effective, every bit as accurate. how would you define it?
just because you pay $100 for some thing doesn't mean it does the job any better or produces better results.
By "just as well" I would expect:
Same accuracy.
Same precision.
Same ease of use.
Same durability.
If you can really build one for $15 that has all of these same traits, that is great. Personally, I have looked at a lot of the home made designs and the ones I have seen appear to have some disadvantages compared to the store bought model.
However, the question is whether or not those differences are worth the $85 difference in price.
I got an idea, why don't we get a tool pool going here, each of us that wants to use it can put in $10 or something and we can just send it to each other when we need it. It seems like the kind of thing you only need once in a while, not something that needs to be kept around all the time. It can be the SBN FZ6 time share throttle body sync tool
I think community tools would disappear faster than virtue on prom night. We would need a Tool Enforcer who would come to your house and throw rotten eggs at the window if you kept it too long, or maybe come specially appointed vigilante group who could do the job worldwide; something like X Men meets The Punisher, only not so gay

I have borrowed my m8s carbtune setup before. Very accurate. I had some dynowork done on a 650 Transalp, and the guy put it on his very expensive setup and my carbs showed they were all in sync.
Hay everyone, I spoke to Morgan today and unfortunately he will only be able to accept a single payment for all the units we want. The savings would have been £4.90 for the unit by itself and £5.40 for the unit and pouch...
Because I'm a student I can't possibly do this so the discount is a no go.
I still think its a good unit to buy even if it costs the full price. So whoever is interested in the unit you can order it right away yourselves but there will be no discount.
I'm sorry for all that, he has had bad experiences in the past with a group order where only one of the people ordered and they got the discount on the basis that more then 10 would so I understand his position.
