Default WTF?!? Can't Dyno my bike???

Just went to a "recommended" local tuner (seemed like a nice enough gentleman) who informed me that because my bike had the factory siamese pipe that my bike could not be tuned. I have a PCIII from Fuel Moto on it and cannot get rid of the popping (caused supposedly by my BCT baffles).

Did I miss something? Do I have to buy True Duals or a two into one to tune my bike?

Argh!!!

Any words of wisdom would be greatly welcomed!

Time for a cold beer! Cheers!

Go somewhere else. It only takes a monkey with a laptop to "tune" a PC3. I was the monkey at one point in time and you can tune a PC3 with any kind of mods to your bike from none to full bolt on or more. Yours might have taken a bit more effort to get the most out of the tune, but it could have been done. Hell, the owners manual tells you how to tune the PC3 you just don't know what the AFR will be without the O2 information.

Just a guess.....contact fuel moto and have them send you the correct map?
