Default EDDY-CURRENT DYNAMOMETER

Any difference in having a bike tuned with the Eddy-Current Dyno vs the Dynojet Dyno. I was told the Eddy-Current was more accurate and a better tune with an experenced operator. Anybody have any knowlege about this?

The eddy-current is more accurate.... but is one better then the other with an experienced tuner? its the tuner not the dyno that makes or breaks it.

Same thing... A Dynojet unit with a Load Control cell IS AN EDDY CURRENT Dynomometer....

To get the most optimum tune on any vehicle, you MUST us a Load Control Cell to gather and optimize the particular tune....

Any Dyno operator that does not tune with a load on the motor is cheating you and is more than likely a Seat of the Pants flyer....

Doc1.. Pipe in please..

Just had mine tuned with the Eddy. The tech said that running the same bike on a Dynojet dyno without making any changes would likely show 10% to 15% increase in the numbers (BHP & Torque). I don't know if he was BSing or not. He uses a 4 gas system, whatever that is.
