Bought a new 2010 SEUC, and had the dealer install Rinehart True duals, SERT, and Stage 1 A/C. Had the dealer install because they could dyno the bike after install. Have owned other bikes never had one dyno tuned, so this may be perfectly normal. In my excitement I failed to check the odometer at the dealer, when I got it home, had to trailer because of the weather, I noticed on the dyno sheet, miles in 3 and miles out 125. Went out and looked at the odometer and it read 125 miles. So they ran the bike for 122 miles on the dyno. I am going to call the dealer and ask, but just wondered if this was normal for a dyno run.

Since this was a brand new bike with only 3 miles on the clock, another possibility could be that the tech did at least a 50 mile "break-in" routine before hammering it.  When done properly, breaking in a new engine on a dyno can be very effective.

My dealer told me I couldn't believe anything I read on the internet. Especially from a CVO forum.

YEAH, especially if it's concerning birthdays.

Top of the piston is round. The skirt isnt.

Is it advisable to dyno a new motor?

I was told as long as the motor is brought up to proper running temp and all parts are warmed up everything is ok. If a motor is started placed directly on the dyno and pulled that can cause damage. According to the tech at J&L HD the Pistons are a little oblong and when they warm up they form the correct shape.

..."one hour on the dyno"... 122 miles.  There's your answer.  At least you know it has top end!

Thank you for the clarification. I didn't intend to spread bad info, just trying to report what I heard, sorry for the confusion.
