1. What is a Dyno tuning?

Dyno tuning is an immediate, precise diagnosis of your bike. It shortens the time in diagnosing and fixing problems, and allows you to actually see what you need to do to reach your bikes highest potential. Maximum performance with the best possible mileage. And, over time we can compare any future problems to past 'saved' healthy runs.

2. Okay, but what is it, exactly?

What is a Dyno and what will it do for me?
Well, the simple answer is: It's a device/machine that measures the Horsepower and Torque of a vehicle (car, motorcycle, etc.). We use a Dynojet model 250 load control dyno with wide band O2 sensor.

What this allows us to do is fine tune your motorcycle by "setting your idle mixture" for easier starts, smoother idle, and passing emissions. With the load control brake, we tune the midrange cells of your PowerCommander software or the needles on carbureted bikes. The load brake also allows us to do "road simulation" testing to set your air fuel ratios for max drivability, mileage, and power.

For top end power, we do "roll-on testing", which records real time air fuel ratios. This shows the horsepower and torque curves, and the changes in the air fuel ratio to see the improvements made to the power band. These tests and the ability to see and set the air fuel ratio gives us the capability to unlock the hidden potential of your machine.

3. My bike is in good shape. What else can a Dynojet do?

By analyzing your bikes entire set up--both as individual components and as combined raw energy--every potential for maximum horsepower is revealed.

With a dyno run, we can quickly show you different scenarios of what your bike could be with different accessories, another cam timing setting, or a new drive train, for instance.

4. Why dyno tune your bike?

We use a state of the art Dynojet Model 250 dyno with load brake and wide band oxygen sniffer. What this equipment allows us to do is maximize your bikes state of tune for daily street driving conditions or optimal racetrack performance.

The load brake allows us to simulate highway driving conditions to tune your bike for maximum gas mileage and bottom end drivability (both carbureted and fuel injected).

Then on to maximum horsepower and torque: Full throttle tuning for passing that motor home down a two lane road or first to the checkered flag at the finish line. By setting your air/fuel ratios we can get all your bike has to offer in drivability AND horsepower.

5. Why is a custom map better than a map downloaded off of the internet?

There are differences in each motorcycle, even between the same make and model side by side. Maps downloaded off the internet, or installed in a new piece of performance hardware are designed to get you close for your bikes modifications, but that doesn't take into consideration altitude, ambient temperature, humidity, location, or the differences between each bike. By setting the air/fuel ratio for your specific motorcycle, we can get all your bike has to offer in drivability AND horsepower.

6. Why does my air/fuel ratio as read on Brand X's dyno show my Dynojet map as lean?

Positioning of the O2 sensor is key in accurate measurement of the air/fuel ratio from combustion. We sniff the exhaust deep inside the pipe as close to the exhaust valve as possible, where the sniffer is reading what is coming out of the motor, not sniffing air at the end of the exhaust pipe that has been contaminated by reverse pulses being sucked back into the pipe.

7. Will the dyno chew up my rear tire?

No more than a ride on the street of the same mileage.

8. Will my bike get overheated on the dyno?

No. We use two 2300 CFM fans moving air through the radiator or over the fins (air cooled) to keep a constant average riding temperature.

9. Will my bike blow up during or after being on the dyno?

No! The dyno doesn't cause any bikes to blow up. If your bike is in good running condition with a reasonable state of tune your bike won't blow up. If your motor has been run out of oil, has 50,000 miles or any unseen internal conditions, then anything could happen on the street or the dyno

10. Why do different dynos show different horsepower numbers?

Every Dyno reads a little different, different brands read differently. Temperature, altitude, and humidity can all play a role as well as software differences from dyno to dyno. The only thing to really worry about is the A to B changes on the same bike, same dyno, same day.
