i thought brown or yellow was too rich and blue was too lean. yes post the dyno chart but also check your bill and see if it says dyno run or dyno tune. big difference

It was a dyno tune after I installed the exhaust and intake. A dyno run when I got my stock base line numbers. I've got the chart but, haven't hosted it yet so I can't post it. I'm unbelievably upset about this after having spent all of the $ for the exhaust, air cleaner, TTS Mastertune and the dyno tune.

Anyone ever heard of Blue Job to clean up the gold on the mufflers?

Does the cycle doctor clean toilets for a living on the side? I would seriously have to question the competence of this outfit. Anyone who conducts Dyno Tuning for a living knows what the customer is looking for and should be able provide advice long before a product is tested so you know what to expect.

I used The Cycle Doctor to install my pipes, FuelPak and A/C. He seemed to do a pretty good job at that. But I didn't get the Dyno to see what, if any, bump I may have gotten. Now I kind of wish I had? But so far, I've been pretty happy with the bike since the new pipes went on and I'm having no issues with the fuel.

I didn't consult with him concerning equipment choices.

one important piece of information is missing from the dyno sheets, the AFR readings...
what's the AFR on those runs??

also look at the time stamps on the different runs, there was only about 15min between two of the runs, is that enough time to tune?
looks like they just loaded a new TTS map, ran it again and sent him out the door..
