Your factory timing is just fine; not that critical for a Stage I upgrade. "Close AFR"?? Not good enough. The SERT allows AFR setting in 200 rpm increments; that's why it takes hours to tune; from off idle to 5800 or 6200 wherever you rev limiter is set. Find another tuner; it doesn't matter wether the dealer cares how your bike runs, if the tuner can't tune all the "caring" in the world won't matter.

I know guys that will make a four hour ride or even trailer their bikes to a good tuner; it is that important. You will see what I am talking about if you ever get a proper tune; it will open your eyes.

The dyno resulted in me losing almost all of my decel pop. 73.5 HP with 87 lbs of torque. I don't think that's too bad considering the short shots are noisy little power stealers.
