I would question the tuners expertise&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;on that one.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Those numbers are strong for a stock 96ci engine with a simple stage 1 a/c, exhaust and fuel management.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Numbers can be manipulated.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I believe my dyno for a baby build (big bore &amp\\;\\\\\\; cams, no other work) was 101 &amp\\;\\\\\\; 94.

I got 96 torque and 76 hp on a dyno tune and I thought that was good! With no engine mods and running V&H SS w/quiet baffles, SE Stage 1 and SERT.

Those figures gotta be at the crank? Usually a 15% reduction to get the rear wheel figures

Lots of variables in a Dyno.
&nbsp\\;
The only thing you should judge is your starting numbers and ending numbers. Comparing different bikes on different dynos is useless.
&nbsp\\;
If they got you good gains over your starting numbers you should be happy.

I strongly agree with a non experienced tuner!

No way on the numbers....Dealer is either fabricating&nbsp\\; or building in some factor to compensate for all the drive train parasitics and giving you a BS crank output number.
&nbsp\\;
I would really question bringing the scoot to those guys for any further work.&nbsp\\; I have seen more bikes and cars grenade the motors and drive train because the tuner did not know what they were doing.&nbsp\\; Dyno pulls are tough on a bike if not done correctly.&nbsp\\; Only time to put one on the dyno is to tune.
