Got my bike back today after having stage 1 and Sert installed and dynoed. Must say I ran it for about three months with just short shots and now I am glad I did the rest. Definitely a difference.

Dynoed by a good Tech makes all the difference. I use the capital 'T' for real Techs, there are to many morons out there who have no clue. Real Techs can dyno carbed bikes and EFI with style and grace...

I'm curoius.....you say "Definitely a difference".In what way do you see a difference? More power? Better gas mileage? Runs cooler? Runs smoother? I had a direct link racing tuner installed & also installed V&H pipes & a/c & I see better gas mileage & it runs cooler but don't see an increase in power.

More power and seems cooler. Only got to drive it home from dealer before rain, so I can't comment on mpg yet. Seems like it will go faster in lower gears. Rev limiter higher as well.

I thought I'd see more power or punch but it runs cooler which means the engine is liking that.

Mine was a great difference I thought before and after the tune. Runs cooler. Sounds better. Am at 42mpg last tank didn't seem to terrible compared to the 48 with my 1200 sporty. And its more expandable so when my big bore comes someday down the road
