• Why Dyno Tune!
• When riding a motorcycle, we have so much to think about sometimes it can be overwhelming. It doesn’t require a lot of talent or concentration to drive our cars, especially when we have so much experience driving them. A motorcycle is much different, if we all didn’t share such a crazy love or obsession for this sport, getting from point A to point B would not be much fun.
• So
the goal is to explain the importance of setting up your motorcycle. I specialize in getting the motorcycle to do what you tell it to do, when you want it to do it.
• For example, having bad tires, bad suspension, improper chassis setup and engine performance all rob some of your fun. If you have bad tires, your focus will be on not slipping around and paying extra attention to corner speeds and road conditions (get the idea?). If you have bad suspension your bike will not properly stop, turn, or stick to the ground. If your chassis, handle bars and footrests are not properly adjusted to you, you will be uncomfortable and not able to reach your controls or you will find your hands and feet falling asleep.
• In conclusion, we can eliminate all the variables that rob little pieces of your enjoyment, you can focus more on the ride.
• The engine is the heart of the motorcycle and it’s critical that the motorcycle does what you tell it to do. We will help you create a relationship with your bike that connects the rear tire directly to your wrist, there should be no reason that your motorcycle does not do exactly what you ask it to. Everyone calls it a “Dyno” for short. The dyno is a diagnostic tool that allows us to simulate riding the bike on the road in a controlled setting. While running the bike on the dyno, we hook your bike up to numerous computer systems that allow me to see exactly what is going on with your engine and engine management system. With a few extra tools and parts, we can make changes and make the bike run better. By dyno tuning the bike, we are simulating riding the bike and making changes to the engine management system until the bike engine runs at its optimum.
• Fuel economy, ride-ability and power
• By dyno tuning we can obtain better fuel economy, ride-ability and extra power all at the same time. Dynos are not just about making the bike faster like most people think, it is about optimizing your bike’s various functions. Power/Torque is translated to energy, but the dyno is the only measuring tool if the changes made are correct. If we are dyno tuning and the horsepower goes up and gets smoother, we know the changes are correct. If the horsepower goes down, then we see it instantly. The benefits of increasing the horsepower are not just to go faster, it will enhance all throttle response and help you in all riding conditions. For example, if you are riding on the freeway and it requires 20% throttle to maintain 60mph, by increasing the horsepower through dyno tuning, it may only require 12% throttle to maintain the same speed. Fuel economy will be substantially improved.
• Less service and maintenance
• With a properly dyno tuned bike, you will not only make the bike run better but can prolong the time period between servicing and maintenance. Your current tune-up, parts, oil change, tires, brakes, throttle cables, and engine can last longer. With the engine running smoother and now burning the proper amount of fuel, we have seen oil changes for as far as 5000-10000 km’s, spark plugs go 25,000-30,000 km’s and engines seem to last indefinitely. We can also use the dyno to diagnose problems and even for see future problems. Matching aftermarket components to your individual bike and local fuel. Remember USA built tunes usually are for USA fuel with different burn rates to New Zealand fuels.
• Dyno tuning usually requires purchasing programmers, resistors or parts but we are building a stock of tuners/interfaces that do not carry license or map fees. On all bikes, no matter if they are brand new or in complete stock format, dyno tuning is important. The more mods you put on your bike, the further away you get from the stock exhaust and other components, the more critical dyno tuning becomes. When you have combined purchasing and installing performance parts, programmers and dyno tuning, you will find it will enhance your riding experience.
• That is the ultimate goal: To get more people on their bike and loving the ride.
