SE Pro Super Tuner is a great tuner. I have this + dyno tune & it made my bike run perfect....cooler, smoother, more responsive, leveled out my torque curve, etc.
I also hear great things about the TTS Mastertune...same principal as the SE pro tuner, but a little more user friendly from talking to others.
Most everything else, I either know someone who has issues or have read about various issues with.
This is not something to half-***....either get the SEPST or TTS Mastertune and find a good dyno guy and do it right this time.

Granted, if you experience those symptoms full-time, it's probably not what I mentioned. But if it's an occasional happening, you may want to start investigating the items I mentioned.
Also, there's a bulletin referenced in this thread (it's a .txt doc in post #19) that may help.

Assuming that your dyno guy does know what he's doing it should not take 3 tries. Are you sure you completely ruled out and intake and exhaust leaks?
I was having the same issues as you and after 3 sets of intake seals and new exhaust seals they were much improved. Installing the TMax cured what was left of those problems. I like the auto tune feature and the tune just gets better with time. No need to dyno, either.

The TMax is simply a better way to go. I have been experimenting with my pipes and baffles and the TMax has never skipped a beat.

Theres no leak on the exhaust end, changed pipes about 2 months ago and there's fresh gaskets in there and everything is buttoned up tight.
The intake side is worth a look.
The bike isn't running lean or rich, I pulled my plugs and they look fine.
The problems I experience are intermittent, sometimes it backfires after heavy acceleration, and sometimes after a long highway run (let's say 20-30 miles running at 70 or so) when I get off my exit and stop at a light or stop sign I'll have to blip the throttle at idle or the bike will cut off...
