Guys,
I live in the local Pasadena, Ca. area and have been looking for a Dyno Service to help me get the bike running tip top. I installed a K&N air filter and a Scorpion exhaust. I have been getting a little backfiring when running the bike at 10k + rpms and then letting the bike decellerate when I stop. I put the orange 700 degree high temp sealer in the 3 connection areas for the exhaust but still have a little backfiring every so often (3-5 times in an hour ride around town).
I enriched the fuel mix by adjusting the c1 and c2 +24 each and the bike runs great, but since I don't know exactly how much to enrichen the mix I'm wondering if I did to much or not enough. I could just leave the bike alone and deal with the backfiring but in the back of my mind I would always be wondering if she could be tuned just a little better.
I called all the local dealers including Yamaha, Honda, Bert's, Temple City and none of them have a Dyno, one even told me that it is illegal to dyno any street bike here in California. That makes no sense to me, they can sell me the exhaust and all the aftermarket parts and then not tune it.
I did find Vance & Hines in Whittier, Ca. to Dyno the bike but he said it would be 2 hours and $170 to adjust the fuel/air mix. He also said he had a special meter that could check for any exhaust leaks. What do you guys suggest, I really value your opinions, especially you seasoned veterans.
I love this forum and even though I'm not always posting am on here 2-5 times daily just to check out what's going on. Is Dynoing my next step? Is $170 the going rate? Do any of you local guys know of somewhere else to go at a better rate? Any help would be appreciated and the cheaper the better.:thumbup:
