Default Taking bike back to tuner - need tips

Hey all,
I realized after a couple days that the bike was popping/cracking on decel, gas mileage still not all that great (average at 31 MPG) and noticed in the map he put in, that both cyclinders had the same numbers. So, Im bringing the bike back to him Saturday and need some tips on what to talk to him about, as Im not all to familiar with this stuff..&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; Thanks!

EDIT- Pipes are Bassani 2-1 Road Rage by the way with PCIII...

I guess you might talk about whether or not he knows what he is doing and how much $$$ he is going to take out of your pocket!

Contrary to the otherwise cynical views of others, knowledge of what the TUNER, and what they are able to accomplish is what is most important....

Bob, I think you said what I said just in a kinder gentler way. I'm not knocking tuners. Some are worth every penny you spend! There are some that are proficient doing it&nbsp\\;and they are making a living out of it. And there are others that just down right SUCK! A good tuner would have gotten his tune right on, IE balance cylinders, No decel pop.&nbsp\\;A proficient tuner usually gets it close more often than not. One that sucks is the guy you visit too often. The point I was trying to make in my reply is, Adrians tuner should know exactly what is wrong, Fix it, And not charge him again.
