Default How much did you pay for your tune?

And let me just say, if your going to tell me that you didnt have to tune yours cause it has auto-tune, just hit the back button and save me your bull ****. Also go ahead and hit that back button if your gonna try and sell me another tuner, I already bought the SEST and thats what I'm gonna run.

The way my bike runs now compared to before the make over is night and day. Its just amazing how much more is there. I know there is more tho. I dunno if I'm gonna get it tuned just yet cause 1 i dont wanna spend the cash right now, and 2 I dunno who I can trust in my area. But if and when the time comes how much am I looking to spend?

$200.00 for the direct link thumb drive stuff.

$175.00 for the tune time.

$375.00 and I have had 2 freebie tunes from the guy since.

Upside to Technoresearch direct link? No piggyback device's to fail. More accesibility to parameters according to the motor freaks around here than SERT.

Downside? The cocksuckah's has closed his shop now I have a device that the nearest tuner who is capable of tuning it is 100 miles away!!!

- DFO...99 bucks.

- about 30 minutes on a deserted straight stretch doing the intial tune, followed by a a few tanks of gas to check mileage and do the fine tuning...Nothing but the cost of gas.

My local guy does the same thing, $300 no matter how long and if you dont like it, will adjust after you run it for awhile.

I got my PCIII from Cycle Solutions with a pre-loaded and seems pretty good for the past year.

i got mine done over the winter and they had a special for $300. normally $400 no matter how long it take. i use sert and have really liked it. mine took over a day because sert only has all the screamin eagle stuff listed in it and mine has other brands of stuff in the motor so it took longer.

$400 from JD's Cycleworks, and Dave was at it for every bit of 9 hours.

Worth every penny.
