To tune or not to tune?
I mentioned in my earlier post that I got a PCIII for my birthday. It has a map on it from fuelmoto. Do you guys think I should put the extra cash into a dyno tune, or just hook up the PCIII and give it a try first. The tuner will charge me $200.00 and he will install the PCIII for me if I want for no additional charge.
The main thing is I don't have a laptop, so I will have to run a usb cable through my window and outside, kind of a hassle.

I would install it and tune yourself. It's really easy. The canned map should be sufficient and you will notice the difference immediately. Do you have stage one intake like the Screamin eagle or Ness big sucker? If not, save your money on the dyno tune and get one.

No laptop here either...I downloaded a canned map from the CD onto the PCIII from my desktop comp. then installed the PCIII on my bike...it's worked well enough out of thebox that I haven'tfelt the needto dyno it yet but the more posts/info I read about dyno tuning the more it makes me want to have itdyno'd just so I know I've gotthe best map/performance possible.

I'd jump all over that
I did my own install and canned map from FM then I asked around for a dyno and Map it's about $450/ 500 around here
I will have it custom mapped /dyno'd when I find someone that won't charge me 500 it
I'm kinda hoping to find something at Bike week in Daytona [/align]

yeah, the install and custom map on a dyno will cost $200.00. I am going to do it eventually either way, unless I installed the map from fuelmoto and all the decel popping was gone etc. adn the bike ran great. I was just not sure ifI should try the canned map first to see if I needed to dyno it now or could wait a while.
