dyno time

[deej]

how long should it take and how much should i expect to pay to have my power commander set up on my bike,i have had quotes of £240. when i was into cars it took an hour and cost me £45 to have my old 309 set up properly on a rolling road and it ran sweet as a nut afterwards. i am prepared to travel a distance if someone can recommend a decent guy at a decent price

Have a day out up to jhp..........I guess what youve been quoted for is a full unique map done on your bike with a lot of power runs.

If its a reasonably std bike ie just termis /air filter etc i recon there will be one at jhp near enough good enough for what you want, im guessing £60 ish...might be wrong!

you could go to JHP, but no real need, just call Moto Rapido www.motorapido.co.uk and speak to Wilf, a good friend of the DSC, they are only in Winchester ..... J9 M3

my local dealer has quoted 180 and 5 hours time but im not too sure about them. i was hoping to find somewhere in the southwest that might be able to do it, was more concerned about the prices been quoted to me, feel as though as theres no competition its rip off southwest bikers as per normal

dibble thanks for the suggestion but dont want to ride it that far to get the pc111 setup

Or call Tim Radley at Race Developments in Gloucester, he'll do it at a reasonable price I should think. Know's what he's doing too.

Yer pays yer money.................:P

true. there are a lot of people out there with dyno's but very few imho who really know what they are doing. its definitely worth spending the time and money to get it done properly. its not much use to you being where you are but jhp are superb. maybe tie getting it set up by them in with a trackday if you are going to do somewhere like silverstone, donington, rockingham not on there doorstep but you could make a couple of days out of the trip and test it on track too

i am prepared to travel a distance if someone can recommend a decent guy at a decent price its not as far as jhp
and they are very good.
give them a call and see what they say
afraid I don't know anywhere local to you

[deej]

cheers guys

i think the prices i was quoted frightened me a bit, i'll ring jhp and motorapido and see what they quote, it needs to be done and done properly. i was expecting quotes similair to what andy had quoted earlier on in the thread

my local dealer quoted £45 just for a dyno run with no tuning included

[andyb]

What is your bike and spec?

[ducv2]

Paid about £190 for a full day on a dyno (+fish and chips at lunch time), or it would have been about £35 for one run last year in Northallerton. Bit far to go I know;)

a map on tuning link wich is more accurate i think than the inertia methord is the best way. for this you will pay no less than 180 to 300 depending wether its a custom map or an advanced custom map wich included maps for both cylinders.. do not skimp on the dyno quote]Originally posted by deej
