Jamie did my mapping on my Kawasaki/PCIII a couple years ago. I didn't know he also does SEST tuning. That certainly is another consideration..

I've been in touch with Jamie. Looks like a 125 mile ride will be in order come spring

Totally agree.... you get that intangible "rideability" that one only understands once he (she) experiences it.

However... the canned MAP install for $50 is ridiculous. You can do that yourself for FREE!

The cost of $50 (max, probably a bit less) does include dyno runs to make sure the A/F looks ok with the canned map matching my bike. I believe they'd probably try a couple close matches to see variations. I'm thinking I can't really know my A/F ratios without the bike being on a dyno with fuel sniffers ?
