Fat Bob 114 Dynojet

Had a stage 2 upgrade a month ago & I wasn’t quite happy with how the bike was running, it was using a lot of fuel & struggled at low speeds, so took it over to Dynojet Preston yesterday & they got it running sweet as a nut now. I don’t really understand the graphs but for you those of you that do here you go.

If you are having a stage 2 upgrade then I’d definitely recommend getting the bike put on a Dyno rather than relying on just a map

That's looking healthy mate👍👍👍 Stage 2 + Power Vision + Proper Dynojet Dyno set up... IMHO best bang for the buck you can do for an M8.
Enjoy the kick in the pants 😎
 
I absolutely agree and had the same experience with my ''stage 2'' 2019 Road Glide.

The selling dealership was happy to fit parts I wanted and the DJ PowerVision, but used a canned map. And I am certain the map they would have used would not absolutely have matched the fairly unusual intake/exhaust set-up on my bike.

The warranty-servicing dealership (far closer to me, the sellers were the only dealers who guaranteed to get me the bike I wanted in the colour I wanted) said after the first service: ''This bike is running nowhere near how it should with the Torque cam and S&S intake/exhaust. Highly recommend you book it in for a couple of hours on our Dynojet rolling road. Our head mechanic has had extensive DJ PV training...''

I invested a couple of hundred quid .... and the ''before'' and ''after'' rolling road printout results were night and day.

It would almost have been embarrassing for me that I had not noticed I was riding a slug, but I was coming straight off a Shovelhead to this Milwaukee 8, so I thought my new bike ran OK for the first 1000 miles ha ha ha.

PS: the selling dealership also reinstalled the stock shitty-quality lifters when fitting the H-D torque cam pre-delivery. A huge no-no, the servicing dealership told me after tearing into the cam case to replaced the grenading lifters and damaged cam after 11,000 miles. Yes, full warranty fix for free despite many non-stock parts.

Some dealers are certainly better than others.

Bike is now at 36,000 miles and runs like a champ.
 
Good write up.. it'll hopefully guide others to a proper custom rolling road Powervision Dyno tune asap after new parts are fitted.
Worth every ££££
 
On this very same issue I need some recommendations. I have the powervision but I need an expert to set it up now that the bike is out of warranty.
107 stage 4
I could travel for the right result. I'm in the Reading area.
 
Dyno Jet Preston, they deserve the high praise that you gave them Jay, I had a StreetGlide set up by Dyno jet and it was the absolute dogs gonnads it removed the limiter and made it one of the fastest Harleys that I've ever ridden and the whole set up was superb so if you want the best then pay the guys a visit

Thanks for replying
I do know about them was wondering are they any good.
Anybody got personal experience
 
I have used them a few times over the years before relocating Thames valley harley use to use them when they were open reading hd do now I believe lots of good reviews Boz at v twin in rye is very good but a bit of a trip out for you and i think dazzlin in here has details of a good one over his way but cant remember the name for the life of me 🤷‍♂️
 
BSD Performance based at Eye near Peterborough. I've used them 10+ times and can't recommend them enough. Expertise, advice and great results. They do most of the Dyno testing for the bike mags as well as many top racers and teams.
Full engine, servicing and specialist engineering in house. Their Dyno is properly calibrated and results properly comparable. Ace bunch of folk too 👍😊
