Default Did you see noticeable change after Dyno?

After nearly three years and lots of changes I decided to have the bike dyno tuned. Can't say I can tell much difference in performance but at least now I know the numbers: 105.57 hp & 113.51 torque. Wasn't sure just what to expect when I took her in.
I was happy with the performance before dyno but just wanted to see what bang I got for the bucks i spent in upgrades. I am still happy with the performance and that is all that matters.

Yes. A good tune will dramatically smooth out the bike, and give you more power everywhere, not just at WOT.

I'm a bit suprised that you haven't had it dynod sooner, especailly after all the work you had done to your engine.

The bike ran so good I did not see a need to dyno her until finally curiosity just got the best of me. As I said in my original post I don't see a big difference in performance sine the dyno so I guess my indy did a really good job of tuning when he did all the engine work.

Cool

Bad part is some tuners are just after big numbers and not good ridable power. Mine has been done 3x and it is finally good, I am not dumping gas out of the pipes anymore. And I finally get better milage on the highway than in the city. It was reverse with outher dyno's.

I saw a huge difference. I was using the PCV and never could get a good map, not from the vender or the local dyno tech, the bike ran like crap for the better part of a year. I went to Doc's Performance in Florida and he threw on a TTS and did a dyno, now it runs great.

That tells me one of two possibilities; either the bike was tuned Ok and you had good numbers before the dyno, OR the dyno tech wasn't very good.

What were the numbers before you had it dyno'd?

Good looking bike, btw.
