Here's my 2 cents worth.
I worked as a qualified mechanic for 15 yrs on cars.
I worked for about 10 at Ultratune.
All they did then was tuning.
Every car was dynoed although not under load.
The main reason was to make sure there was no breaking down under hard accelleration and to make sure the fuel was leaning off correctly. This was checked with CO Metres on the exhaust.
It was handy if you had a carby/fi not leaning off correctly or running too rich causing surging. Maybe for a lead breaking down or similar but this was usually so obvious anyway by just driving the car on the road.
I believe more of Rockets theory that if you don't have a problem and the bike is running well why have it dynoed?
Maybe if you race or something... I can see the point as you want everything 1000%.
Or if you have a major prob eg Gdy's recent breaking down problem that he could not solve...then it's handy and that is when I would have one done.
As Rocket says most things electronic do not go out of whack in a hurry...they are fixed and usually stay that way.
And as far as Rocket being JUST a lawn mower mechanic...the principles are almost exactly the same and when I speak to Rocket his ideas and theorys make logical sense.
One other thing, what's with the Character Assasination around here if you have a different point of view...farout.
Cheers,
