Default story

just wanted to share a story about my stealership. i put on a pair of v/h duals and knew the bike needed to be tuned up so i made an appointment for 6/3/06 sat. i droped it off a day earlier on friday. so they tell me sat 9a.m. the bike will be on the dyno. so i go there to check out the results. come to find out it was a waste of my time. the bike did not see the dyno until 1:30 noon only for them to tell methey could not tune a bike with a pc3 on it. i had to go to my house to get the hook up cable. then they told me that pc3,s were no good and tried to sell me a s.e.r.t. at this point i said thanks for nothing and i came home and went on the pc website and found one in danbury ct by the way i am from stratford ct so i immediatly called and made an appointment. the place was called dyno solutions the owner john was very knowlageable of pc3,s he explained the whole procedure on what he was going to do next the bike went on the dyno and man was it lean and popping. he tried to tune it with a map that the pipes called for but it was not good enough john suggested a custom map i said go for it. by the time he was done i picked up 7h.p. 95% of the popping was gone and the bike ran like a bear. i was there maybe an hour and a half if that and john did a great job. total cost 265.00 and well worth it to me . if i would have left it at the stealership it probably would of been there 3 days with no results. so if you are in need of tuning and in the danbury area stop in and check out john. you will love the ride home
