Shop rates x 3 hrs max. It takes longer with the SERT because of all the extra adjustments.

I would think it depends on what you need done. If you just need a standard MAP downloaded (something off the PC website for example) and then you want to get the numbers from that MAP, I would think that shouldn't take more than 1 hour. If a custom MAP has to be created, you will probably end up in the 2-3 hour range. Then it just depends on how much your shop charges per hour.

The full mapping on the dyno is $350 in North Central Jersey and it takes two weeks to get an appointment

Like someone said before it all depends on where you are and what you need. The shop I that go to in Des Moines, IA charges around $200.00 / HR. But if you have any work done to the bike like say if you buy a set of pipes or get the PCIII from him he will dyno tune if at no charge. Last Summer my dad bought a set of V&H True duals from this shop and he did the dyno for free. This guy is good he knows his stuff. The shop is called HOH (House of Horsepower)

In my original post (#2) I stated approx 3 hrs. That would be with a custom map. If you just want to dyno your bike to get a hp and torque reading then 1 hr would do it for sure. If you look at what the above people stated they paid for their dyno tune it would figure out to roughly 3 hrs x hourly rate.

I just got a quote from a guy in Eastern PA at $300.

He said that they don't provide you with a disc of the map they create for you, though. Is that a big deal? Will I find myself wanting that disc?
