First of all,
2008 RKC
Full stage 1 installed in july '10 when I purchased, no dyno tune.
Planning se255 cam upgrade in Jan. due discount.
Total cost for buying cams and pushrods, install and proper dyno tune $850, about 8 hrs approx.
I know I can get cams cheaper elsewhere but I like new stuff installed and HD parts.
I also trust the service tech to give it a proper tune.
And since I can't ride to the dealer due to snow and ice they will pick up and deliver.

THX.

 

Sounds reasonable, most northern dealers give a break during the winter to try & keep the shop busy. What kind of tuner or are they just going to do a download?

 

Don't have specs. of the dyno machine but the tech said it take about 2-3 hrs to get it tuned in properly. As it sits now the bike gets really great gas mileage, 45-50, but definitely doesn't perform power wise as it should. AFR maybe a little too high. Shouldn't have to downshift to 3rd just to pass a semi at 65 decently. I've tried in 4th gear with less that stellar results and 5th was totally worthless to say the least.

15% discount on parts and labor til 31 Jan 2011.

 

As previously asked, find out from the dealer how he's going to tune your bike. If he's telling you 2-3 hours time a device is going to be used to do it. That will be an additional cost.

 

Other than checking on the tune labor - sounds like a good deal. Wait & see & decide from there...good luck!

 

Yes you need to find out what they are tuning it with. If they are going to include dyno time they will need a tuner device. Most likely a SEST but they cost over $400 alone. Other then that it sounds like a good deal.

 

Sorry that's been awhile but here is the update for my SE255 cam upgrade. Not too shabby for a total of $881. 2008 RKC 96", stock head pipes, HD stage 1 kit, VH oval slip-on mufflers, SE super tuner(orange). Cam upgrade included SE255 cams, adjustable pushrods, and dyno. HP 83, TQ 97.3. AFR 13.02 wot, 14.3 cruise. Everything is right where i need it to be for my style of riding.

 

Numbers look pretty good for not much more than stock 96.

 

Pretty happy with the results, just can't wait for the ice and snow to clear to take for a spin.

 

$850 for a cam and install ain't that bad, but I agree what are they gonna dyno tune it with?
It's an upgrade of some thing too. A SEST is about $400 just by itself without labor.
