I'm running Rinehart True duals, SE air kit and SE race tuner. It has the 103 engine.
what exactly did they do the first two times. I mean how long did they have the bike, and were they doing street rides to gather data. How many data collection hours?
The process is not quick. Their offer of dyno time may be a better bang for your buck. I mean if you are paying for someone else to ride your bike while data is collected to use to adjust the VE map for re flashing. adjusting timing is also time involved.

They had it for two hours each attempt. Did a 5 minute ride punched some numbers then rode it again, (in a neighborhood that has a 30 mph limit. They only charged me 1 hour labor the first try. I'm betting that after try #3 they'll say live with it or dyno.

Is this a joke?
did they get it out of 2nd gear? so far you may have the correct base tune flashed, but no way has tuning been done.
do yourself a favor, get the cables, download the 2014 free software and do multiple data runs using all gears, spending time every 250 rpm up to 4000 to start with, then do it again. later get some runs at up to redline.
This is not meant to be a complete instruction, you need the software to read the manual of instructions
OR let them do some dyno time, or keep going back until you get tired of doing so.

That's what I thought too. I know damn well he never saw 6th gear. Pretty sure they were pulling numbers out if a book.

LOL... now you know why I hardly ever post in here.

I've heard of a few in Texas but I seem to only hear about the bad ones.
