ECM Tune by Ken Ridout
(my experience with thanks to Ed of "The Dyno Difference" in Dallas)

Read the Full Review


Unhappy with the mileage and popping deceleration, I took the bike to Ed, the owner of  The Dyno Difference for a custom Power Commander tune.  First, Ed checked throttle position, throttle body condition, etc.  He cleaned my washable air cleaner.  He inserted O2 sensors probes way up through the mufflers and into the headers.  Then, I watched and learned as Ed went through the steps of measuring the air/fuel ratio at different throttle settings as well as wide-open throttle runs to display peak torque and power.  He also did some W.O.T. runs, listening intently for any hint of pinging.   Ed then downloaded my  Power Commander tables into his system and made modifications where needed.  After the mods, he'd upload the tables back into my motorcycle's Power Commander.  Then, more runs on the dyno to measure the results.  At each step, he would save the current and new settings, labeling each for future reference.  He went through the process several times.

Finally, over 4 hours later, he said it was finished. 

Ed is a perfectionist when it comes to tuning a client's motorcycle.  I watched as the hours rolled by.  No amount of time is too much when it comes to tuning.  He commented that with a Power Commander, only AFR and a few other general adjustments could be made.  Other parameters are not available for tuning with this system.
