    Yeah, there's a few places. You can pick wherever you want from the Dynojet website, but I know that Atlanta Motor World over on Hwy 9, in Roswell, has a dyno and someone who tunes there. That's where I'm gonna be tuning my bike at least. Bikers Dream also has one, and there are many others.

    That's what I use on my bike. I just use the fuel mapping though, no timing map. Are you tuning your own bike, or trying to get someone there to tune it for you?

    I have a PC3R on my R1, they are not hard to tune IF you already know how to tune. If you don't, it is not worth the risk. Spend $190 with HuffDaddy and be certain that it is correct.

    Did you tune your own bike on the dyno? Which dyno did you go to that let you use the dyno yourself? I tune cars at BG, but obviously theres no bike dyno there, so I'm trying to figure out if one of these bike shops will just let me rent the dyno and tune my own bike, seeing how I already know how to tune many different EMS's. PC3 is basic as hell, I don't wanna pay someone to do it for me when that's what I do...TUNE! lol.

    Roswell Honda used to let you rent the dyno. Don't know if they do it anymore though.

    Roswell Honda has been gone forever. Was this way back in the day?

    power commander SUCKS on outr X1s
    even tuned on a dynojet, it runs too rich and fouls out plugs. I took mine off and sold it.

    Best idea
    Race ECM, and just mod it. I made 2 HP more without the PC than i did with

    What does it being tuned on a dynojet have to do with it running too rich? I don't see the correlation...If it ran too rich, the the map was wrong/tuned wrong. The PC, just like every other EMS sees MAP and TPS, so I can't see why it would make a difference to switch to another system on something that has such a simplistic function.

    It was a couple of years ago.

    See if HuffDaddy will let you rent his dyno for a few hours. Or you can try the place next to Dynolab. Doesn't hurt to ask them.
