Default How many miles before dyno?

How many miles should I have on bike before I get it dyno'd. I 've heard as soon as you finish break in ...to 5000 miles? Who is correct?
Thanks,
AA

You should run your bike through at least 5 heat cycles. I put 500 miles on mine before dyno tune. Break it in right.

Majority of the Dyno guys will tell you to wait until your 1K service. Most places will not do a dyno tune until then.

Right or wrong, that has been my plan since day one.

At the 1000 mile mark, and I'll be on my second oil change by then too.

But I can tell you the Mod-Motor in my F-150 went on the dyno after 50 miles. And it makes a tick over 600 to the rear wheels
