I cant justify the cost of a tuner for a one time use so if anybody has one and would be willing to tune it for me I can throw you some money your way. It's a win win for everyone.

Tuners marry themselves to the bikes ECM, they know the VIN if the bike that they were used on and wont work on another, some will let you purchase a extra license.

x2... if that were the case every manufacture would be out of business because one guy bought a tuner and let everyone of his buddies use it.

Like Barry said, some will sell an extra license to use the same tuner. Dynojet is one of those companys, but the cost of the extra license to only get a one time tune isn't worth it to me. Only would make sense if I had two bikes I could use it on.

Save up your pennies and buy a power vision, you won't regret it.

Talk to Fuelmoto. They didn't use SEPST anymore which is what I have but they would sell me a license to use Powervision so I don't have to have the hardware but I can have them use the software to tune my bike.

Unlock/Tune licences for a Power Vision are $200 for each extra bike:

I would need to find somebody with the hardware though, correct?

Why would you need to re-tune the bike after the first time?

You would need someone to loan/rent you a tuner
And purchase a license, by then you have paid
For a tuner, pack, or a couple pair of XIED's
We would all like to help each other but sometimes
You just have to pay the fiddler, google, eBay a tuner
dig around and you will find a deal.

Well let me just say you can continue to make
Adjustments, a little research and you will
Find yourself playing around with several things
.....trust me
