Default Dyno Tune

I currently have the Big Sucker, SE Pro Slip-ons and PCIII. I'm going to change to the Rinehart 2-1 and I was wondering if it would be worth the money to have the bike dyno tuned.[/align]

That or remap for the new pipes is a must if you want it to run its best.

I would at least do the re-map. How much do you think it would cost for the dyno tune?

I say yes. I called around dealers/shops regarding dyno runs when I had my exhaust changed out - and found a great dealer that dyno'd & mapped my PCIII for just over $100. Some charged upwards of $300 to do this!

I've seen some riderswho tried the preprogrammed maps themselves - but IMO, its not close enough - and sometimes, can cause problems if you ride with it too F'd up for too long.

If you can afford it - get it dyno'd. Besides - it IS kinda cool to know your max torque & hp - even if it isn't all that high...and, you can monitor over time how upgradesimprovethings to your motortoo!
