Street tuner
Dealer just used the street tuner and flashed my bike for rcx pipes and ventilator air box. The question I have is if I would gain anything by doing a auto tune. It runs well now should I leave it? Thanks. One of the reasons i used the se tuner and had dealer do it is that they told me straight up they would cover my warranty.

I don't think spending 300 to 500 bucks for a full dyno using the SE tuner is worth it. The SE tuner is still liimited on what settings can be changed. Tman performance straight up told me there's not much to gain with a dyno on a SE stage one.

guess that depends on the interpretation of "not much to gain with a dyno on a SE stage one"....posted my results many times but I know my gains were significant performance, drivability, efficiency wise having it dyno tuned beyond the SEPST Stage 1 calibration..attachment to illustrate comparison..at the very least I would never describe the difference as "not much" especially after riding it before and after...it was absolutely worth the $375 I spent..sounds like Tman Performance would feel guilty charging somebody to 'only' be able to produce this much of a performance improvement..keep in mind the red line isn't stock, that's with the SE slip-ons, AC and SEPST Stage 1 ECM calibration..it's also not about the numbers..driveability and having it tuned correctly are the big advantages

yup, that's how i feel..I'm about knowing it's efficient, correct and about as good as it can be running wise..think a properly tuned engine is a happy engine and provide more riding satisfaction and 'may' last longer with fewer issues

How much migration did you get on that bike before your dyno run? And how much after?
