How often to Dyno?
Alright guys I purchased a 2000 FLHTCI last April. It Has 95CI, stage 2, rinehart td, 203 cams and a power commander. It was tuned in 2004. Should I take it an have somebody else look at it? Is this something that should be done on a regular basis? Want to make sure I am getting the maximum performance. Thanks.

Unless you changed something, or it is not performing well, no need IMO. Or, unless you got that sort of cash laying around. Once tuned, there shouldn't be any need to check things. Even after rebuilds, as long as no major changes are made, I stick with the same tune.

Did you get a copy of the map with the bike when you bought it? If not you might ask the previous owner.

I would take it in every 2 months. that way it will "RELIEVE your wallet of any extra $$$$ & at the same time help the economy. Pass it on!!! IMO this "DYNO"thing is way out of control. But it's your money & who I'm I to say how to waste it, Ops I mean spend it. Just my 2 cents.

People don't realize just how hard a dyno run is on a bike. So my answer is rarely, if ever. I've got the same motor as you and mine has never needed to be on a dyno and it just passed 84,000 miles, ( a different measure of performance, IMO.)
