    Just got a colortune system cheap and I am wondering if it will help me un-lean my engine. I know nothing about carbs but am willing to mess around with it. From what I have read hear it seems as though my bike is running lean and this could be dangerous.

    My pipes are blueing, on one side it is down past the last bend and heading towards the foot peg. My spark plugs are clean and white. The bike runs great but pops a little on decceleration.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Yup sounds lean to me. Colortune should help. As long as the pilot mixture screws are accessable ( plugs are off) then you should have no problem dialing her in. If the plugs are still in the carbs then you will have to remove them. Happy tuning
