My 03 SERK goes into the Dyno this Tuesday and when I asked then tech do you run a base map? He answered usually not, I asked would it cost anymore to have that done and he replied no.

So should I have them run the bike to get a base map or just have them dyno it?

TIA,
John

When you say base map are ou refering to a base "run"? If so then I would say yes, have them do a base run to see where you are before they make any changes. Before going it I would read this thread on dyno tuning:

http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=6566.0

It is from AI magazine and has some great info and great questions to ask the tuner.

Another vote for getting a base run. This should be automatic and shouldn't have to be requested as it is a good comparison for you and benefits the tuner/shop that is doing the tune. It will show how well of a job they did tuning your bike.

Well the bike is already at the dealers with the 1st 1k service compleated and sitting in the box waiting for a workout on Monday. I did not see these articles untill after the bike was dropped off. I did request a base map, also  the dealer that I took it to is pretty well know for there work (Lakeshore HD in Libertyville, IL) so there should be no problems.

Thanks,
John

John, base map will just make you feel better about the money you spent.

Yup , I figure might as well do it as it is included in the price.

Thanks
