    That's actually a very good idea. The PCs can be a bit cranky sometimes, and running a 'zero map' or disconnecting them can sort it out.
    If it turns out that it actually runs better with the PC disconnected, I'd go back to the shop and tell them to fix it.
    Heck, you should go back to them and get them to fix it regardless: what's the point of paying all that money for a Power Commander, then some more for a dynotune, and not be happy with the results? [insert spudwhat emoticodweebicon here]

    BTW - what have you done with the real Finn?[insert spudwhat emoticodweebicon here] Y'know - the one that doesn't put up with crap from noisy roadworkers outside his house, who doesn't put up with crap from anyone? He wouldn't have put up with this crappy motorcycle...


    It's really weird - you think that having a big, bad m'cycle would turn Fin into a BadAssMofo, not a pussy....
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Better?
    Yes!
    Now that's the Finn we all recognise.
    Although a bid, bad, biker mofo wouldn't have pissed around drawing that.
    Or posting on KB.
    He'd be out riding in the rain, off to the tuning dude to tell him to fix his fucken engine up.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.

    Any ideas?
    Give John at triplezee a ring. he advertises on here.
    He would be one of the more clued up guys around when it comes to dynos and tuning

    Not only that...but for your money we can make ANY injected bike run better without one!

    Do tell.Interesting subject really,ive had a Yosh box for a few years and awhile back sent it to a mate in the states with a very modded TLR,whilst it was over there he got together with some guys who ride Vstroms of all things and found they could flash there bikes with it and it actually did something which was hard to work out,the thing ended up doing the rounds of guys on the Strom forum over there,interesting stuff when you get to the nitty gritty.......of which i only understand a little of.

    For Suzuki's we can sort them out with a teckin (sp) tuner...on our dyno. Mint.

    he did wonders on my buell with his dyno - and was really approachable and reasonable.
