Have the 18'...wondering how effective the tuner is and is it worth the purchase? Right now bike is stock except for T4 but that could change. For those proficient using it what settings have you found best and are they noticeable? Peace!

Was a little concerned with the hand held only showing 1.5 hrs, it was reset for a reason but I didn’t know why. So I went out and bought a leak down tester to see what I really had. Leak tested at 4 percent, may have even been a tick south of 4 percent. Tight old motor best I could tell. Frame and side covers showed about 34 hrs worth of wear. But you don’t always know what ya got when you buy used.
With all that said, it’s not a bad idea to have a hand held for 2014 to 2018 YZF’s. Same for a leak down tester.
The thing I don’t like about being able to reset hours with a hand held on 2014 to 2918 YZF’s is once you set the hours to zero, the original hours are lost. I may be wrong but I’m of the opinion with the newer phone app programable ECU’s 2019 and up YZF, total hours are keep in memory.
I”d think hand helps for the older Yamaha’s would be easy to find on Facebook marketplace or eBay.
