Rule of thumb at our shop is the bike must be at 1k to have a full pull due to the load and additional strains that the Dyno places on the bike......

If it is a new bike, we just do a driveability map at no charge.....

Keep the revs down at 3500....

Some shops really don't care, they just want the $$$$$.....

And will thrash the bike with 10 miles, and a full pull.....

Don't see any reason you can't have it tuned right now.

I did what Shovelhead bob recommended, Had mine done at about 1200 miles. They did 8 pulls up to redline.
