Dyno tune Trike

Had mine done in Pierceton,In. The place is called Brendspeed. They specialize in Mustangs. That is where the dealership took the trike to dyno. They are an hour south of Elkart,In.
 
I heard there is one in Florida, but will have to find out where it is. I have a Power Commander III, so I need someone who is good with them. "The search continues"!!!!

Trike dynos are scarce to say the least.
 
Last year I called Power Commander. They could not find one in Florida either for me. I went to Statesville NC at Tilleys HD also, on my way to the Maggie Valley for the ralley last year. Very very happy with their job. Took almost 4 hours, but the trike runs GREAT.
 
I believe it is called Iron Horse. It is located on highway 44 between Inverness and Crystal River Florida. They have a dyno that does bikes and trikes. A friend had them change his cam and dyno tune his trike. The dyno is in a white trailer beside the shop. They have used bikes out front also.
 
Going to Flordia at the end of the month on the trike. I will call Adventure about appointment when I get back to dyno tune my trike and see if it makes a difference. I have put 3000 miles on the trike with the new cam. header and thunder max . Fuel mileage has droped to 29 mpg.Hope a dyno tune could get mileage back.

I don't believe you can dyno tune a ThunderMax. The ThunderMax has built in Auto Tune with the wide band O2 sensors. It is suppose to self tune as you drive.

It will self tune as you ride but the rider still has to import the learned values. Many think it will adjust itself but it will only adjust so far. If the learned values aren't imported then you will not let the TMax do the best job it was designed for.

Road down to Larry's Sports Center in Galeton, PA last weekend. Talked with Wes (Service Mgr) and he indeed said they could dyno tune a trike, however, the price he quoted was $499. I though this was a little high, but he did say a dyno session can take most of a day. Has anyone had their trike tuned here and were you happy with the results?

That is the same place msocko3 had his done. I'll let him tell you the results when he is back from vaca.

I also had an appointment with them for a dyno but had to cancel because of jury duty. Just have not made another appointment yet.

I want a total map built, not just a dyno run, so yes $500.00 is correct in my book. It takes a lot of time to do it all the correct way.

I've paid everything from $197 to a per hour rate for a tune, my last dyno was on my 06 Ultra and it was by the hour and he had over 8 hours in the tune. When my dad and I had our Triglides tuned at Larry's the gentleman who tuned it was Shannon, he did a pretty decent job. The problem we all run into is Trike dynos are few and far between. I will say Shannon is more comfortable tuning with the SEPST vs the TTS, I had to work with him on the TTS tune and let him use my lap top because their computer wasn't set up to use a USB to serial adapter.
 
Baxter's Harley Davidson, just outside Gallipolis Ohio, is in the process of building a new shop which will have a trike dyno. They also have a very well equipped machine shop. The current shop only has a bike dyno but the new shop should be opening about mid-summer I believe. Ben, the owner, and all his mechanics and sales people are good folks.
 
Check with those that dyno tune cars/trucks.
My Dyno man in Chattanooga can dyno tune anything you bring in. Car/truck/4 wheelers/atv's, motorcycles, and trikes.
All it takes is the wide drum for it so most motorcycle dyno's won't work

Dyno tuned is the only way to go.
Yes the PV is a great way for a diy guy but it won't be as good as what a good dyno man can do.
 
can he dyno tune a 03 road king trike with a procharger.I live in s.c.can"t find anybody to do this

That's going to be a tall bill for most run of the mill tuners, a boosted engine combination requires understanding of how crucial getting the fuel and timing correct while under boost. I've worked with blown automotive applications, you would be amazed at how quick you can damage engine parts if you get the tune wrong. You could try touching base with Dragos Bike Works http://dragosbikeworks.com/ and see if they can recommend a qualified tuner close to you, they specialize in turbo and supercharged engine combinations.

Try calling the HD dealer in Statesville NC. I have had them tune 2 trikes. They did good. Now I don't know if they can do your setup but might be worth a call.
