I'm just asking what the guy's background is in mapping and what can be expected. From what I've been told by the guy I've found, it's not an all day thing at all. He charges $300 for a full custom map that will be individualized for each cyclinder and you're in and out in an hour or so. His name is Mickey Cohen and after asking around all over SoCal his name came up more often than not as the guy to go to. He was also featured in a recent edition of Motorcyclist magazine regarding his services and expertise. Thanks for the feedeback on Louie.
Never heard of him. Hmmm.
Well since no one asked heres my 2c. (Stand back Derby)
I took my bike 2500 miles to Minnesota, because I couldnt find anyone here in So Cal that:
A: could properly tune a Duc.
B: could properly tune the FIM U59.
C: that I could trust.
Im not sure whether its good or bad but Ive seen and been involved with what is involved with actually doing a proper tuning session.
Ill use my bike for example.
First thing was to clean and check the injectors on a RAM Injector bench.
Once the flow was confirmed to be nearly identical then we moved onto the next step. Setup
The cams were then set to Factory spec
The throttle body synch was checked and adjusted
The TPS setting was checked
That was just the first two hours.
Next came building a base map.
Then came the actual dyno work
Running the bike at each throttle position and rpm point
Analyze the data and make changes to those that needed a change
Repeat dyno process
Repeat analyzing data untill results are correct.
That was the rest of the afternoon.
The end all is if you dont check your work you can assume its perfect, right? By that I mean the basic settings. If they are not right then why bother trying to compensate for misadjustments?
