Or you can sit in the house and make up different cal files you'd like to try and call then different things, and then one nice day download and try them.
Just be cautious of DETONATION!
I wish the SE software wasn't so primitive. I am used to adjust on the fly stuff. At work we can be at 8000 RPM WOT on an engine and manipulate anything we need to. Be we have $5 million in test equipment to safeguard against doing anything to stupid (well for most of us).

Dyno tuning is typically $150-$200 where I live.

With my 9 years hands on experience on dynos, plus my 10 on EFI prior to that I feel I could make a lot of EFI owners happy.
If we move out of Michigan I may make the investment. 10 bikes a month would be fine for me for the overhead and cash to do my own mods, then I can do a DBA and my bike will be a DEMO and a write off [sm=badbadbad.gif]

I have an 03 RK Classic with FI, and it has been trouble from day one! Its been to 4 dealers here in KC and none of them can figure it out. Ive replaced everything, and I mean everything from the fuel tank gutts to every sensor, coil, wires, speed sensor, intake gaskets, PCIII usb, copression test, leak down test, You name it Ive done it. My bike has a low speed miss and an uneven idle which is coming from the rear jug. Front jug is dead nuts. I have spent more time messing with maps and dyno time, testing the wire harness, new injectors, time on the internet looking for clues ratherthanon the road.My buddy has a 99 FLH carb, And he is out riding while Im trying to get mine to run. His fires it right up with a little choke when its cold, pushes it in in about 20 seconds and go's. He's been from KC to Stugis to Wyoming and back and his bike ran like a champ. Im converting mine to carb. I know what you are saying " Youre Nuts" but im at witts end with it and tired of spending all my time and moneytrying to find some one who know a s**t about EFI. Dont get me wrong, Im all in favor of EFI andI understand how it works and how to tune it. I have anelectonics degree and work for Northrop Grumman taking caremillions of dollars worth of high end servers for the goverment, but efi and my bike do not get along.Call me CRAZY but imoff to put on 100 year old technology on my RK.

Cost of modification, any carbed bike can be rejetted, with a jet kit for half the cost of the cheapest digital tuner, if you know which jets to buy it can be done for around $20.Fi also adds unnecessary complication to what should be a very simple design.I can rejet one carb but the instructions for my DFO which is supposed to be one of the simplest tuners out there look like they're missing pages.I hate Fi and I wish I could say I'll never buy another Fi bike but damn near every thing is fi now.The Triumph Bonnie still has carbs maybe I'll ****** one of those up before it's too late.
