Post the name of this incompetent dealership so the rest of us don't get burned!

Sounds like a punishment for doing your own cams and engine work, they didn't do the build did they?

With all the very close dynoed maps available today, created on someone elses nickle, why not use one of those and maintain control over your tune and especially who touches your bike?

It was fine before? Before or after the cam job? Did you install the cams/ pushrods?

Hell, I hate to add to this story because it is going down hill fast, but that is exactly what I was thinking when I read the story. I know I am probably in the minority here but there is no way in hell I would ever allow my motorcycle to be put to the abuse they go through for an hour or two on a dyno. I would just as soon take it to the burnout pit in Sturgis and smoke em till they blow. There is a reason they don't want you back there in the dyno room when they are flogging em.

Ft. Myers HD has a window and a lounge so you watch, there is also a computer monitor so you can see the progress.

Unhappy

Bike came with a SE Pro Tuner. Can find the cables but searched everywhere for software with no luck. Even my indy shop doesnt have it. Called the dealer and was told to bring it in to have it checked on the dyno. I'm scared.

Ask if the bike is throwing any codes.
