IMO, the best benefits of a good dyno tune are power under the curve and part throttle response. Not necessarily max power gain. That's the number everybody focuses on but has very little to do with day to day (street) impressions of the engine.

Give it some sadldle time and watch those oil temps. Report back.

Not all dyno operators/tuners are good...

If anyone knows how I can adjust my tune to open my acr’s on startup please let me know. Powervision allows you to enable or disable them but it doesn’t actually do anything. I listen and feel for the clicks when I turn the ignition switch to run but they never open so I’m not really sure where to go from here.
how does it run? smoother yes?

WHERE'S THE ******* CHART!!!!!!!!!!!

you need the 621 strategy in your tune to have the ACR's work.

If you bought your power vision from Fuel Moto, they will help you. I just bought one from them with the 621 strategy installed and you can here a definite click when the ignition is turned on. Bike turns over way better now.

very true. I’ll put the saddle time in and see how she feels. I haven’t picked it up yet but I’ll post back as soon as I test it out.

I know but now it’s too late unless I want to pay for a dyno tune again. Do you have any idea how I could get the 621 strategy?

I'm no pro dyno chart reader, but it looks like she's got more to give.

HP still rising at redline (I think, that downturn beginning around 5800 might be something else) and it seems a bit lean to me.

Hopefully they tuned at multiple throttle positions...

Thumbs up

agree with CGMacGuver, probably could have gone to 6500. looks like you now have a smoother ride, no more jerk at take-off. .... that and the pv did a damn good job to begin with judging from the baseline run.

now you gt to post this in the dyno room and have some jack*ss tell you you should have installed baby dolphin and got headwork by someother jack*ss, lol

dealers tend to suck at dynos. i'm not 100% in love with mine but, i opted to not ride for hours and kill myself over it.
