mmmm,
ok, you both have valid points.
GDYUP, my line of thinking is the same ;)
However Rod does have a point as well.
So my last question Rod.
When I took mine for its last service, (Not long ago at Petes Pits Stop) I asked Pete how the bike was when he started and how the first run was before he did the dyno tune.
His answer was that it was all out of whack and had a few flat spots as well. (also noticed the diffrence as soon as I starting riding)
Before this, the bike was last dyno'd when it was modded by Cole with his own custom ECU and such and then dyno tuned after all the mods were done & no mods since.
So I guess the question is, why was everything out of "whack" & do you think this could have been corrected with out the dyno tune?
I know the computer on board will adjust the air/fuel mix as best it can, but I don't think the on board computer was ever made to keep the engine in "tune"? Also other reasons I have read & been told to do dyno tunes is that the dyno can correctly check the on board computer, check that the engine is running as efficent as possible as well as having peak performance from the engine.
I like this, I am learning stuff
PAN sorry about all that
To answer you question, the BTL is mainly modded for a VERY quick take off, like drag racing take offs. The BTL's main function from what I understand (I am sure others could clear it up more if you wanted) stops or helps to stop the rear locking up if you gear down too early. I left this because I have also shorten the chain and will be using it for track days and getting it in to the corners. I am shooting for getting my knee down with this thing one day, and I reckon having the BTL might save me one day if I am going at it too hard or get a little careless. Apart from helping with the gearing down I am not sure what other functions it has.
Boy's wanna fill in all the blanks ?
*Edit: I was just thinking a little more about this whole dyno tune thing, I guess we also need to define "Tuning" & "Servicing" as I guess what myself & Rocket are really talking about is if a dyno tune is needed or is worth it the way myself & GDYUP think of using them.
