It's Time. First Ride and First Trip to the Dyno Today. Adding Second and Third Dyno Information.

Well, tomorrow morning has arrived, and as promised, here is what happened yesterday.

The visit was to finish the upper end of the tuning, that wasn't complete the last time.

1. I go into talk to KC(the owner),and he asks what we are doing today. I know he works with a bunch of customers, so I let that slide a remind him what we are talking about last Friday. Finishing the Dyno we started in the end ov November. He days OK.

2. He asks if I am leaving it to do this work. I remind him I am waiting as we talked about last week.

3. He then replies that he needs to call Mike, the Dyno Guy, and see if he is coming in. OK a little worried here that the guy is not here and no telling when he will be here, but I am waiting just the same. He should already know I was coming in right? Only one guy does the dynos.

4. Took 15 minutes for the guy at the counter to print something for me to sign. He presses one key, looks up at the screen, types another, and looks up again. I have heard “Slow and steady wins the race” but you gotta be a little faster to get out of the gate!

The Dyno guy shows up after an hour, and asks me what are we doing? I tell him, and he asks if KC knows about this. I tell him KC and I have talked about this for a few weeks.

A couple hours into the testing I get called in to KC’s office and he is showing me what the Dyno is looking like. No power near what is was last time. They are saying either something is wrong with their main tuning system, or something is going wrong with bike. I get asked what I changes on the bike? Nothing changed other than cleaning the inner threads and tightening the crank bolt. Everything else is the same. Riding it for months, and no issues. The Dyno guy tells me that it’s not the bike, but with all of the power outages they have had recently, it could be something with the Dyno system. I questioned him, did you test this out on a bike that you know was good before, and see if you have the same numbers. He said he did his bike and it wasn’t the same. OMG then why am I here if they are not sure if their system is working correctly. This all doesn’t make sense.

Oh and the bike runs fine. I really wanted to get a full pull to compare it with the last time. 40 miles registered on the dyno.

Hard to recommend this place to others when the first, second, and third impressions are so bad. I always give a place a second chance, and just can’t with this place after two visits.

All of this was going through my head on the 40 mile ride home.

Rant off.
