Local Dealer has a "March special" -
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH ONLY!!!!!! DYNOJET TUNING FOR $325.00 PLUS A FREE MOTOR OIL AND FILTER CHANGE!!!!!! Additional parts and labor may be required for tuning... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Which probably means purchasing a Racetuner or PCIII and paying them to install it. Does anyone think this is a good deal?
$250 at a local independent for the tune. I don't know what the dealers around Atlanta charge. For you, maybe it could be a good deal, but I don't see it that way. Does the receptionist give lap dances?
My dealer charges $100.00 per hr. For there customers who put their bike into winter storage at the dealer for the winter it's a flat rate of $199.00 because as things slow down they can just take a bike off the rack and keep the tech's busy. I asked how long to tune and the service guy said putting my race tuner on and dyno would be around 4 hr to get it dialed in,and noted if it took longer it was still the flat rate of $199.00 because im in winter storage. My dealer has only three people that will do any dyno work,and all three are very qualified to do so.They used to send all there dyno tunes to R&R in manchester,for years now the tech's have been begging the owner of the dealership to install a dyno,and finally she has.
I have watched and hung around the dyno trailers at bike week events for days on end and it never takes more than 1 at the most 2 hours of actual time on the dyno, most are tuned in well under a hour. It makes me wonder how some shops say 4 hours on the dyno , man that's a lot of runs.
