Well, we're done! Hope you enjoyed the show folks!
The bike is SO much smoother than before! It's not a bucking bronco at low speed, small throttle positions like before, which is important in my NYC traffic conditions. It pulls right up to 6200 RPM as before, but is SO much crisper! I was never one to dislike a little vibration, but any I had at 90 in 6th is completely gone. Overall, the bike feels more ridable. If I gave up anything up top, it's hard to tell. But it's well worth it if I did. My intent from the beginning was to build a rideable performance motor, not a racing motor. I've told ya'll before, ya beat me and I'll smile and shake your hand. But this bike kicks ass now as before, and rides much better doing it than ever before.
We took tons of fuel out of it across the board. It was so fat, it never popped. Now I can hear occasional decel pops at lower loads, between 3000 and 2500 RPM. But with this exhaust you hear everything that motor's doing. A little popping at times and a little gurgling at times, but wouldn't want to change the tune by dumping more fuel in to eliminate it. She runs too good right now!
I'll see how she does on the road going home tomorrow. Very curious to see what all this did to my gas mileage. Bean said he'd be shocked if I wasn't getting at least 40 at normal cruising. Best I ever did was 33.
So overall, I'm extremely happy with the tune. Custom map made for Cybil from a HD base map took about 12-13 hours of dyno time, analyzing, and reprogramming. They spent whatever time necessary and didn't cut any corners. They just want you to be happy with the way your bike runs.
At this point, I'd flat out recommend ya'll get your bikes tuned here. It's amazing when you think it already runs great, and you get it back so much better. It's truly night and day difference except for flat out, which isn't noticeable. To get so much in so many places without giving anything up either is really amazing to me.
I really wanna thank Bean and Springer for all the time they spent on Cybil, for letting me go thru the entire process with them, and for showing me some really great hospitality as well!
And I can honestly tell ya'll not to go by numbers. Not by Dynojet numbers anyway. Mine are nowhere close to my chart posted in the SERK section. But the bike's no slower and runs so much better. I'd rather know the real numbers than numbers from somebody's happy Dyno. But everyone's tuned on a Dynojet. So since I'll be showing ya numbers so much lower that some of ya'll's stock bike tunes, I guess you might say Cybil's numbers suck and must run like a dog. To that I say, SEE YA AT THE TRACK!!!
Hoist!
