Just want to make sure its true as I'm new to this, just had a hillside 107 build done, the tuner said its 595$ to dyno and it takes all day, maybe a day and a half? does this sound right, he's reputable, Scott from hillside knows him, just seemed expensive, and time consuming, but if he REALLY IS SPENDING THAT MUCH TIME ON THE TUNE IM SURE ITS KILLER!!!!! thanks guys, wanna make sure before I pull the trigger
also power vision, or the ORANGE PRO RACE TUNERS, yes I can get them.....thanks

I have a 2008 rocker c , around 4k miles...thanks, plan on switching to D&D Lowcat 2-1 first!!!!

 

I paid 450

 

and he says his price is going up,LOL, so he says!!!! I ordered a power vision and target tune today from fuel Moto, maybe I wont get every inch of power, but I'm not done with all mods, and every time I do something I don't wanna pay 600 plus to dial it in...seemed like a perfect combo for me....I have a hillside 107 build..

 

Why didn't you have Hillside tune it since they built it?

 

4 hours away, I had it disassembled and sent there, and back to me...I wish they did, I wouldn't be in all. the trouble I'm in NOW!!!

 

You buy products from the internet store. Take them to the tuner that you didn't buy them from. Take his opportunity away from making that money or to price match. Then wonder why tuning prices have went up equal to the price of buying a tuner and a tune from the guy. The greed comes from the dyno guy with all the over head and not the internet guy undercutting and removing the integrity from the industry. But hey, you got a smoking deal and willing to sacrifice the quality of the tune. Sounds great.

 

who buys what from a internet store, hillside motorcycles is a sponsor here and a well respected engine builder, the guy who assembled/disassembled, can't bore or do cylinder work, I have no clue what YOUR talking about, neither do YOU!

 

and the orange tuner is the dyno guy?>read pal..../.or get hooked on phonics...lol

 

So are you going to use the PV/TT that you bought from FM and self tune it or are you going to take it with the PV/TT to a dyno shop?

 

i charge bewtween 400 and 600 depending on the bike, the build and the tuning product used. Misc dyno time or carb tuning @100per hour. To do a really good tune on an injected bike with a PV or TTS or the like on a big motor build it takes time to get all the variables to be the best they can be and have a bike that runs well on the road without any issues and have a happy customer. I routinely spend more time than I charge for because I value my rep as a tech/tuner. If I turn out bikes that don't run well, I wont get new or repeat business, so I lose. I try to do the best I can to communicate with the customer to make sure that the goals are realistic and achievable while talking about the job and costs involved.
All that said, for me it takes much less time to build a PC3 or 5 tune than it does for a SERT, TTS,PV becasue off all the things you have access to with those products vs the others. Hope that helps.
