At Wilkins Harley-Davidson we get a lot of questions about the new Harley-Davidson Pro Street Tuner. This is the replacement to the Harley-Davidson Super Tuner.
It is true that the Pro Street Tuner has less adjustments to add fuel, adjust spark, and other basic performance changes. With that said, one thing that has not changed is the necessity to place your Harley-Davidson on the Dyno.
We recently took a new Milwaukee Eight Touring model out on the road while the Pro Street was in recording mode. We rode the bike for about 25 minutes with slow speeds, moderate speeds and interstate speeds. We brought the Harley back to the shop and downloaded the adjustments it suggested. We were surprised to see that the adjustments were not substantial at all. We expected to see a great deal of suggested adjustments in the calibration.
Take a peak yourself.
We then placed the Milwaukee Eight on our Dynojet 250IX and placed it in the tuning mode so we could make adjustments ourselves.
This is the area we were able to adjust.
As you can see, we were able to make adjustments in all the ranges we wanted to and certainly all the ranges the rider will be taking their motorcycle into. There was only one area at 1750 RPMs that we maxed out. Placing the motorcycle on the Dyno is still money well spent and will serve the rider and the motorcycle for many years to come.
Lastly, there is a safety component for you and your Harley-Davidson to running the bike on the dyno versus trying to force the motorcycle into certain RPMS and ranges on the road. Riding it on the Dyno, we can safely place it in the correct cell and we know we don't need to hit that RPM range again.
If you are eager to test out a bike with a Stage 1 or Stage 3, swing down to the dealership, we have built two configurations for you to try out and see what best fits you and your performance needs.
