You've evidently picked up some knowledge

=============

Dealer cannot.., by law (epa) tune a bike correctly

Hit up an indy dyno / tune shop and let them work their magic

Do your due diligence first to ensure they're competent - many don't know their *** from a hole in the ground - but the ones who do - make magic happen

I hear you. I wish I had a good indy shop in my area with a dyno, but unfortunately I do not. I'm going to have another dealership do just a quick pull on the dyno and then compare the printouts. If that confirms my suspicions I plan to take it up with the GM at my local dealership. The GM happens to be my neighbor as well so hopefully he makes it right. Thanks bro.

spending 400 on a pv (or other non-crap tuner) would give you a host of maps and auto-tune capabilities. that gets you off of the service racket dependance.

if you want to pick a fight with the dealer over it. they can take it back to stock then re-dyno it.

i suggest you get a tuner and put this situation behind you
For me it wasn't about seeing big hp/tq gains. It was more about seeing what it looked like when I brought it in and then seeing the smoothing out of the hp/tq curves as they built a better map that did give some minor power boosts, fuel efficiency, and better rideability.

Agree, going to a dealer for anything other than a big ticket warranty item is foolish unless there is no indy within 500 miles. Dyno numbers are unreliable for anything except comparing before & after, & then only if the operator is experienced & honest.
