 Dyno Tuning Motorcycles

    How does it work and why is it important?

What is a Dyno?

A dynamometer is a machine used for measuring the Torque and Power of a Motorcycle while monitoring the Air Fuel Ratio. It is used to assess the motorcycle state of tune by placing the motorcycle under different loads and acceleration rates, measuring the results and making appropriate changes to the tune of the Motorcycle.

Do I need my bike Dyno Tested?

If you have installed any aftermarket items like an exhaust or air filter these changes can alter your Air Fuel Ratio. This can result in a motorcycle that is not making the optimum power and in extreme circumstances it can lead to dangerously lean conditions which can cause engine damage. You should have your Motorcycle tuned to suit the modification. 

Correcting the AFR will result in a smoother, more efficient running motor with maximum power and torque. 

Why is a custom dyno better than a Send In Flash or a map downloaded off the internet? 

There are differences in each motorcycle, even motorcyles from the same make, model and year. The differences are due to tolerances during the build of the motorcycle and during the manufacturing. Maps downloaded off the internet or loaded by Send In Flashing Services or Pre Configured Flashed are designed to get you close for your bikes modifications, but that doesn’t take into consideration local fuel, altitude, ambient temperature, humidity, location, or the differences between each bike, sometimes these maps can result in your motorcycle running worse.
