lol that is exactly what I did.

Bluebob I really like your bike. I'm diggin the bar set up with the mount in the center. I'm impressed man it's not "just another Bob" it actually is unique. Good job on the Bob.

i I would have thought for sure you woulda had your dyno tuned. Did you get the wife and o2 kit or just run basic autotune? Autotune got me 105/120 but I'm running lean as **** at higher rpm and everyone thinks I could get higher numbers with a dyno tune. My bike runs like **** though when in autotune. Even when I export learned, about 50% of the time I accelerate hard it stumbles or lags.

I did get it dyno, it's seen the. Dyna about 3 times. The dealer was cool about not rechaging. By dyno costs, i meant the cost of the dyno was less. They cant charge me $200 for a dyno jet license because it the pv has one tied to the bike. (They could cjhatge if dont say anything ) Same for my other bike that shares the pv, another $200 saved. @$400, it paid for itself.

Auto-tuning is not really a substitute for a dyno tune. It just adjusts the ve on canned maps or the bikes current tune and helps with adjustments. Looking at all the se 117s, you are leaving performance on the table. I think you should be something like 125tq+/116+hp. If you have a pv already, your dyno should cost between 200-350, that IF the folks are using dj tuners or are willing to use the pv. You already have a tune license.

I did work it in soon than later. Youd be surprised by the power delivery after. I felt like i gave them a harley to tune and got back a honda... it's that smooth in delivery. That's why im trying to smooth out the shifting now. I never noticed it before because the bike was violent and jerky. I've got $50 on it if you are gonna get it dynod. Set them horses free

yea I agree it's worth it. Plus there's not much point in paying 200 bucks for a license, and not getting anything back. I'd rather pay the 400 for a pv (which I did for those who aren't familiar with my setup) and have all the features of the pv like monitoring engine temp. I'm gonna get it dyno tuned when I have money and after I vent the ac to atmosphere. They want 350 to do it. They seem to think I can hit 120/130 hp/tq if they tune it so we'll see. Unfortunately it will be a while before I have money for that though.

oh **** that. Dude if you can build your own parts, that's just ****ing awesome!!! Anyone who talks **** for that is clearly over compensating for an unresolved oedipus complex. I say more power to ya. I built a few things for my bike, had fun doing it, and saved a good 80% off what it woulda cost me to buy the same part. I hate people who dog on others rides.
