Default Dyno ?

Hey guys I jsut upgraded my 2014 with some Vance and Hines short shots and I am getting a little popping when I an decelerating. I was thinking maybe i need to get it tuned. Is this the case ? and if so about how much should it cost to have the bike put on the dyno ?

Thanks in advanced!

it depends if you want them to do work on it or just duno it to tell you what is going on. I just dyno'd mine at a local shop and they charged me $30 for a couple of pulls to establish my baseline on my bike before doing any engine work. If i recall it will run about $300 to dyno and calibrate the bike as a general rule.

Thanks for the words of wisdom. I will probably have them remap the bike if that is possible because like i said after putting on the new pipes it is doing some popping when i decelerate.

As I don't see any mention of you installing a programmable tuner on the bike, there's nothing there for them to tune once it's on the dyno.
The only thing they (Harley) can do is install a canned Stage 1 map in the stock ECM, and that's still not tunable, it's a "one-size-fits-all" map for a Sporty with an SE A/C and SE slip-ons.
They can sell you a tuner and them do the dyno, but be prepared with your wallet.

Do yourself a HUGE favor and buy a Powervision so you can do it yourself. Not only will you be able to tune it for your pipe, but you'll be able to tune it for any future changes you make as well. Plus you'll get about a thousand other cool features.

Fuel Moto is a sponsor on this board and they would be a good place to get one.
