I agree that no 2 bikes are the same. However it appears you only installed 1 map before doing the dyno.
Sometimes it takes a couple of maps to get it right. FM has plenty of maps, they do their own you know. It took 2 for my SG to get it right, it appears the OP did 3.
I had one dynoed after adding the PCV just to see how close it was.. The dyno guy said, I would not do anything, it's that close.
I will add this. I There may be times a dyno will result in better performance.

I put a pcv from fuel moto in along with 103 & cams. It ran ok as far as pops, miss, flatspots but didn't pull well up top and mileage was terrible. Indy put an autotune on for 1500 miles and it pulls harder but mileage still bad. Going to the dyno next month. Just because it runs quite and smooth doesn't mean it is all good. I don't think a canned map or autotune beats a proper dyno tune. finding someone to do a "Proper" tune being the real problem.

I am not knocking FuelMoto because the service I have received has been excellent BUT I have not had good luck with the canned maps. I trully believe the best money spent is dyno time because every bike is a little different and a canned map just can't get it perfect.

I am still trying to eliminate the "pinging" on my bike and will be spending the money on a good dyno in the Spring.

Just a thought. Why not save the dyno session $ and buy a PowerVision and tune it yourself? Then you can tune it in the future if you make changes.

Better is often the enemy of good.

If your bike is running good...

Thanks for replys guys. I think I stick with the canned maps. One reason is I'm not sure how good the guys tuning around here are. Might be great, but again that's someones opinion. We know Fuel Moto is good.
