is it worth it
I have an 08 sg with pcv se 204 and jackpot mufflers i have a fuelmoto custom map. After 2 year it still runs great i never had it dyno tuned just wondering how many people had there bkes tuned and were using a fuelmoto map and was it worth it or not really worth spending the money.

I have a pcv with fuelmoto map and auto tune. Ran ok for 6 months. Had it dynoed. Fuel was way lean in the mid and rich on the ends. Smoothed it out, only gained 6tq (109) and 4hp (99), but it runs MUCH nicer!

Also, before strapping your bike to a dyno, most Tuners will have you sign a Hold Harmless Agreement in the event that your motor "blows" during the tuning process and don't think that it doesn't happen. NO THANK YOU!

I'm a convert to dyno tuning, having had my bike done twice. The improvement in the way it runs and rides is well worth the expense IMHO, so ignore the nay-sayers! Dyno tuning is all about optimising performance throughout the rev range, not chasing the biggest numbers.

i have a power vision and had it installed with a dyno tune. After the dyno tune the bike ran great but fuel economy suffered. I know the tuner very well and asked how he did the dyno. He performed the tune with wide band O2 sensors and then downloaded the map into the PV and ultimately my ECM. I contacted FM about the map, sent it tow them and had them take a look. The map was rich across the board so they sent me a modified map which then used the PV auto tune basic module on to fine tune.
My bike now has two different tunes available in the PV, one that uses the stock narrow band O2 sensors and yields a very smooth power band and vastly improved fuel economy and a full on power tune that gives unlimited power but scarifices fuel economy.
my point is you can have both or neither, make certain you know what you want and if you dyno, make certain you know what you are getting.
I am a huge fan of the dyno as it is the best method to get max power, however you may give up something as well.
