I just wanted to update. I have run now over 500 miles on the engine it is running strong and I just can't believe the difference from stock. The passing power on the highway from 70mph to 90mph is awesome. I will dyno tuneWednesday.

i go in for a dyno wed as well...the dealer wouldnt do it before 1000 miles so i had no choice, but i rode her like a stole her, so i hope their original down load was close, because i hope i didnt do any damage. i did ask them to give me a print out of a run as the bike is, before they do any downloads or mods and a final map of the last dyno run. i also made sure to ask the service manager to put his "best" tuner on the bike and not just use a stock map, but to fine tune the bike for optimal performance. it is pulling pretty well now, but i know theres got to be alot left with a good tune

Well I have the best tuner on it and I wish you all the luck on yours. I will post results once I get them. I am nervous about running it hard but I really have not got it past 4000rpm yet. Its just loud running in the mid 3000 rpms.
