Default Dyno Tune....

I am wanting to get my 18 FLHCS tuned but hate beating my bike up on a dyno. Anyone ever have problems from having a dyno tune?

If your bike fails on a dyno, there was likely a problem waiting to happen. Dyno testing is hard on tires. Go there when you need a new rear tire.

"Beating my bike up on a Dyno." Funniest thing that I've heard today!

Sandy the bike is monitored as soon as she's hooked up and running, most every parameter is known so they're much more likely to save a bike from meltdown than to cause it.

Thanks. I have had several bikes tuned and it just sounds like they are beating the hell out of them. I will just leave while they are doing it.?

In my opinion and experience it’s much better to have a bike properly tuned on a dyno than not. I had a fresh 128 build broken in right on a dyno even.

Either way, a knowledgeable tuner is not going to push a bike to catastrophic levels if they see something off on the parameters….

I thought my bike on a dyno sounded like me passing a car on a two lane road.
