Hey Jim...

12 minute tune goes like this: Start the bike and don't touch the throttle. Let it idle until the cooling fans come on. Without touching the throttle let it idle a further 12 minutes. This restarts the engine management adaptation of the ECM. Page 11.133 of the factory service manual.

For an OBD II scanner... I would just call around to several of your local auto parts stores and get some prices for an entry level scanner... not a code reader. Make sure they understand that you want to be able to view live data. These things are a universal technology and I'm not sure that one brand is better than the other. Its probably going to run in the neighborhood of $150 to $250USD. If you don't really have anything else to use it on I would try to beg, borrow, or steal one... you may be able to rent one from an auto parts store, or even borrow one if you leave a deposit.
