Default How many dyno runs for our money?

How many dyno runs should we expect for our money?

Doesnt matter on dyno runs, its what they do to the tune file that is going to impact your ride

most of the tuning dongles dont connect to the dynamometer, ride it on dyno, see whats happening then change file, load to bike, ride it on dyno, see whats happening then change file, load to bike, ride it on dyno

Probably some can do it quicker than others, crikey you dont even need a dyno to tune bike

I had them pick up my bike to fix the clutch cable issue. Also, when pulling my bike out of my garage I was reminded of the other issue- They didn't bleed my front brake right, I have a lot of play before my front brakes grab. They put the wrong type if screws on the detatchable windshield mounts, so they had to order the right screws, and that pushes back the availability of using my bike back another 5 days. I'm really pissed.
I'm going to call them tomorrow and try to make them give me a free oil change and detail job for screwing me over.

It's not about the number of runs but about the quality of the tune. If the tuner can nail it in less pulls, so much the better for your bike IMHO.

After reading about the other issues, front break and clutch, windshield, all ez fixes I know I would have them do a dyno run on my bike or a free oil change. I would find another shop.

Shouldn't the tune be smoother than this?
