Default DIY Tuning

Ok here is the deal, I am going to buy a new Harley, and as we all know a new Harley is only a starter kit; I will first of all buy new pipes and a bunch of Chrome.
I live in Phuket Thailand and the Harley Dealer is in Bangkok 1000 kilometers north of Phuket
I believe that the new Harley's have to be re-tuned every time you mess with the power
I dont want to have to ride 1000k every-time i do a modification
Question; Is it possible to do this re-tuning by yourself if you have the software and if so how difficult is it to do it
Thanks in advance

I went the TTS route using their VTune program.

Take a seat and spend hours reading about the subject on this (and other) forums.

Difficult??? I guess that really depends on your comfort level with wrenching your own bike. I had NO experience with tuning and was able to work my way through the TTS system using the HELP files included with the software.

Hope that helps!

I have a high power car that has a aftermarket ECU and with that I have a guy re-tune it as and when necessary, is that the similar thing that you are talking about when you say the TTS

Yeah check out the TTS Mastertune thread in this forum. All you need is a laptop and the cabling that you order with the unit. A great product that a guy without training and a dyno can still get a ~95% tune (way better than some of the canned maps), and its fully functional with whatever upgrade you do in the future. What is more it is very competatively priced!
