The bulk of a full dyno tune though is spent balancing the AFR readings (or VE values in a SERT world) across all of the throttle settings from 0 to 80% and the RPM bands from 0 to redline. It's the full dyno tune that really keeps a bike from running lean under cruise, or stumbling when you ride two up or want to pass. IMHO an EFI bike lives like it is dyno tuned, but I think many people don't realize this because they are so focused on the WOT graphs that comprise just the last bit of a tune, but are carried away at the end of most tuning sessions. 'course this is just my HO....

edited note: and after all this, I see SEdeluxe said this in a couple of quick lines, but then that's why he is so good....

Both you and SEDELUXE have just validated what everyone has been saying about the Thundermax with the AutoTune.

u!!

You get
1. fuel milage
2. performance
3. engine reliability : a properly tuned motor will run cooler and better then a poorly tuned one.


Plus when you make a change to any of the components it automatically adjust to the changes without additional cost and running back to the tuner.

Technology sure is great.

The reasons I went with the Thundermax with the Autotune were the 3 items above, plus the long range cost will be less than a SERT and 2 trips to a tuner.

Plus you can try it for 30 days and if it does not work you are out of only your time and some shipping costs.

It just does not get much better than that.

Okay, I was kidding. A good cigar, bottle of scotch and the lady of the house in the right mood.

Have a great one guys
