It says be prepared for when U go in for a service,, Ugh, then why have it, just let the wrench use his if there's a problem.

If you have or plan to get a tuner - TTS will do all that thing does and way more.

Goodness p51, do you have stock in Mastertune? Just kidding.....

I started this months ago when I found it and posed or meant to pose as a "for those of us that do our own work, might this be a speedy/helpful tool?" question. Admittedly I did not really ask it that way originally and have not purchased one yet either. Too many other things in line above it.

I run a SEPST on one bike and PCV on another. In my case I was pondering if it would be a tool for my work (do not go to dealer) and not looking for a different tuner.

will it give you live sensor data ? if you have a few bikes and want to do more than read codes and do some actual diag it would be a good tool to have. if all you're gonn do is pull codes then the manual way is just fine.


i'm surprised that bikes with feedback efi doesn't fall under the fed law of all vehicles using the same diag connector, basic fault codes and descriptions be standarized.. OBDII

Q: Will it read live sensor data?
A: No
Other: It reads codes and the name of the code, and it clears codes. It's not a Scan Tool.
