1000 Miles, YIKES, I hate doing something, or having something done that I do't know squat about.
I've read many a post about the dyno on HDF, and it sounds like there's different levels of dynoing.
I don't get to the shop for anything very often so I don't know the dyno tech at all, but he's spose to be certified and has done this a bunch. like I mentioned, I,m not speed racer,#s on paper don't mean much to me.just want the best overall perf. We'll see, goes in on thursday. Time to learn
I wonder how many here will either keep their current bike long enough to need an overhaul. Most of us will either trade or put a big bore kit in itlong before it needs any engine work. so whats a thousand miles.....Just my quartrers worth (inflation)
True enough, had my o3 for only three yrs. 17000 miles or so. By the time I put enough miles on for an overhaul, I'll be wantin the new water cooled and fueled Harley, with the new whisper pipes. Oh Yeah.
A dyno is the only way to truly tune a bike to perfection or close to it. That is if you have someone who is very good and do not cheat. If he or she is good they will know that you can do a dyno tune on a bike and not run it wide open. If all you are wanting to do is get the fuel and timing to it's best and not worried about wide open hp and tq the tuner will tune each cylinder seperately to get the most and most efficient tune out of your bike. They will do all that and never once run it wide open. But just for the record i don't think it hurts them at all. My bikes like it.
