3 hole change before or after upcoming dyno tune?
All 3 holes are due very soon. Got a dyno on Tuesday. Having witnessed a few dyno's being done on my bikes, the low RPM banging is just a touch cringeworthy. There is probably no damage done to the bike or the fluids during this procedure, but part of me feels like it would be nice to start out this fresh new tune with fresh new fluids. And I really don't think this old-ish oil is going to have any bearing on the tune either. Probably overthinking....... again, lol. Thoughts?

When I dynoed my bike it never crossed my mind. If you had to over analyze could do after if you really think cooking the oil. Or before so you gave fresh oil to save the bikes life.
Or just whenever you have time

2,700 with a 350 mile round trip to Hayward and back. 👍🏽 I ran Dino oil as an experiment so 3,000 is change out point. Going back to my Mobil 1 V-Twin that I've used for the last 300,000 miles total on all my bikes...... Experiment didn't do much to make me want to change that.

For the last 3 Dyno's that I've had done in Hayward, the ride there/back was OK, just not 100% happy with Dyno tune itself. Different tuner this time around......
