Spells ''trouble....potential customer hassle'' and free ''corrective'' labour down the line.
Probably, but for us the answer is:......Dyno, with an PC or a SERT have it sorted in an hour or less.
Rob, keep an eye on the plugs. Do a couple of chop checks. If the plugs are good just ride the bloody thing. Love to Lorraine.
Oh & at Folsom HD.....Advance weights are our specialty

Re: So what can I expect..........

I think it is more the case at Stadium that they have not got anyone whom can use the sert/race tuner to set it up properly.
The guy who could left some time ago!

They do not have a Dyno anyway but that’s not necessarily an issue but to get the best set up possible the Dyno route is probably way to go! That said very good results can be achieved without one by the right person, you’re not after competition bike performance, or are you?

The reality is Stadium do not need to do fuel remapping much at all, as most tuning they do will be cartridge down loads for know set ups.

What is frightening is the attitude and limited professional knowledge of some of these people some UK dealers now seem to employ.
I dare say the problem is down to the money they are willing to pay them.

Probably. Dave, my EFI & dyno expert is very skilled (its all Greek to me). He is very well paid @ looked after. Luckily we are busy enough to be able to support that.
The lack of basic customer service skills from customer facing staff is inexcusable. The chances of that person remaining employed by us for long are slim indeed.

Thanks Black Rain
Just can't figure out how it can adjust to lean air but not to a Spicey special
