Default Dyno Tune Question

I have the bike scheduled for a Dyno tune next week, I spoke with one of the techs who said they have 2 guys who are very good on the dyno machine, he also mentioned they usually shoot for an AFR of 13.5 : 1, I will make sure I have the rear tire pressure set to 40 psi as I check it weekly anyway, will it matter what the air psi in my rear shock is and do I need to let the guy know that 90% of my cruising is in the mid range, nobody in my area has ever dyno'd their scoot, they usually just have the shop install SE mufflers, A/C and do the stage 1 ECM so I am sorta on my own here....any advice would be greatly appreciated.....
Should I speak with the tuner and ask if he tweaks beyond the 13.5:1 ..?
