Default Dyno Tuning at Americade or Laconia

I'm going to be spending a few days at both Americade and Laconia this year (last half of Americade and first half of Laconia) and thought since I would be off from work anyway this might be a good opportunity to take advantage of having the time and getting the bike dyno'd to stop my decel popping. Would anyone know if any vendors or shops at either of the rallies provides this service? I would need someone that works with the PCV.

I realize its a shot in the dark but I figured I would ask just in case. Thanks!

In years past in Laconia they have had a trailer set up at the Harley Davidson dealership where they dyno'ed bikes... not sure the wait time or the cost but give the dealership a call and maybe they will have some information as to who to contact...

I think I would be more comfortable going to a shop thats been around for a while rather than the travling type.I think they would be in a hurry because they are not going to be there long and try to sqeeze in as many as possible.

FuelMoto had me put 15 in the zero % throttle position column from 1750 rpm all the way to 6500 rpm. I have 6 in the zero column from 500 to 1500. My decel pop is all but eliminated. I get one every now and then.

Are you sure you've got the Fuel Moto map that should have come with the purchase you made from FuelMoto properly installed? If you do, it shouldn't be popping. I'd give Jaime a call at FuelMoto and start there and save your money. Looks like you've got a pretty standard FM USA package?

Yup I'm sure. The PC-V box came with the FM seal with Jamie's initials on it (or so it looked) and I told him the a/c and slip-ons I was using.

I understand that I could have him send me an adjusted map that would probably get me closer, but without a dyno its nothing more than an educated guess for my bike. Yes I agree FM's maps are pretty good and their service is excellent, but I'd just rather bite the bullet once and have the bike dialed in since I dont plan on making any future changes that would require a new map.
