Default Dyno Tune

Got my new pipes in today and the SERT and AC last week now I am going to have them installed and dyno tuned.

What is everyone paying these days for the dyno??

WOW, $90.00 is the cheapest I have ever heard. Some of the HD dealers in our area will not do any performence work at all due to the EPA here in CA.

At one place, I was quoted to take off old pipes, install new pipes, SERT and AC and dyno is going to be $560.00 and another place wants $700.00 for JUST the dyno.

depends on where you live i guess. in texas there is a place called jims cycle shop in axtell texas, his rates are 30.00 per dyno, that includes 3-5 runs and a print out. if you have work done it is 50.00per hour, he is really fast and a great tuner as well. here is the website http://www.jimscycleshop.com/

I had mine done last Monday it took an hour, he charged me $60. It pays to keep a good mechanic.
I'd changed pipes although it still ran quite well I thought I'd better get a dyno, I was surprised how much fuelhe'd dumped off it and how much better it rode. Why worry about 0.5% of the cost of your bike.

$200.00 for installing PCIII and creating the custom map on the dyno. $125.00 if I ever go back due to further mods.
$30.00 just to do a runto checkHP/TQ or A/F.

Wow...I thought the dyno guys at the rallies were hosing people by charging $300 for a dyno tune. How much is their labor rate?
