RE: dyno tune results and a question

RE: dyno tune results and a question
I know what you are talking about when you say idles too fast. I thought the same thing when I installed my PC3. Before I was just running the stage 1 download and it idled slower and running too lean. When I checked the idle when I installed the PC3 I am getting 980-1100. So all is good.
Nice dyno numbers.

RE: dyno tune results and a question
i just talked to the guy that dynoed my bike, he said when the bike came in it was only idling at about 700 rpm,s, he said that it to low and could cause alot of problems. he said now it idles riht at 1000 rpms. so i guess its right it just sounds high to me? but i guess ill get used to it. what kind of damage is he talking about if it idles to low? does this make sense to everyone else? thanks again

RE: dyno tune results and a question
I was just reading something about this yesterday. I think the engine doesn’t get the proper amount of oil running through it when the RPM’s are that low. Some said you need to be running at least 900 rpm’s and other said they have been running lower than that for years and had no problems.

See PhilM's reply at the start of this thread. Don't mess with the idle speed. If your tuner was talented and smart enough to get those kind of numbers out of your combination, don't you think we set the idle speed correctly?

RE: dyno tune results and a question
Underdog, I see you are in Indy. I am too. Who tuned your bike? Sounds like he knows what he is doing. I have a RK on order and am looking for a good local tuner.
Thanks
