Just me
Mode 06 is an advanced diagnostic mode that gives access to the raw data such as running counts of misfires per cylinder.
You need an advanced scantool, as
1) the data is vehicle specific
2) it is presented in hexadecimal.
The vehicle specific part is the problem here, as suzuki don't support much of it via generic OBD, you need the suzuki specific diagnostics to access it.
The cylinder misfire is interesting, as it looks at the change in engine speed as each cylinder fires. If this doesn't match then it flags a misfire against the cylinder. It maintains a running count of misfires, and if the exceed a set % of firing cycles, it sets the MIL and stores a P030X code, otherwise they usually forget the data when the ignition is switched off. I wanted to use this to see if I had a cylinder down, without getting my hands dirty
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

I think the consensus is if you've not tried it, it is expensive snake oil, if you have tried it it is the best magic fluid ever.
I don't normally bother with magic fluids, but I once put something called Profi-max in my 'bike, and it cleaned out the jets a treat, and saved me stripping the bike to get the carbs off. Only time a magic fluid has ever worked for me.
Give it a go if you want, but mine misses the odd beat at idle, as do a fair few others by all accounts, so you may be trying to fix something that isn't broken.
