What Is The Dynojet?
The Dynojet is a motorcycle dynamometer specifically designed to allow a Dynojet trained technician to run the motorcycle through its full power curve and adjust air/fuel ratios various throttle positions for maximum horsepower and torque..'
- Q: Can my stock / mildly modified motorcycle benefit from a Power Commander?
- A: Yes - even bone stock bikes will typically enjoy crisper throttle responses, improved gas mileage, smoother riding throughout the entire RPM band and an overall better riding experience.
- Q: How much horsepower and torque can I expect to gain from a Power Commander?
- A: It depends on how far from the proper air/fuel ratio your bike is to start with. We typically see a gain of at least 2-3 HP on the top end- and very often a whole lot more That being said, we don't promote the Power Commander as a tool for gaining top-end horsepower. We do promote it as a tool for achieving the best riding experience available throughout your entire RPM range.
- Q: Are you selling brand new Power Commanders - just like I'd get from Dynojet?
- A: Yes, these are exactly the same items that you would receive if you purchased at higher prices directly from Dynojet.
- Q: I've heard that the Dyno run can cause damage and wear to the engine of my motorcycle. Is that true?
- A: If the Dyno tuner puts a cold bike on the Dyno and then immediately starts to bounce it off of the rev limiter then yes it could damage your motorcycle. But a good Dyno technician will treat your motorcycle like he'd treat his own. Prior to 100% throttle test, he'd inspect your bike to ensure proper fluid levels, chain/belt and tire wear, etc. Then he'd warm your bike up and ride it just as you would on the road, monitoring your bikes performance at low & mid RPM's before moving to the 100% throttle test. The Dyno will not break your motorcycle but it will find the weak points.
- Q: I Just put a bunch of aftermarket performance parts for my fuel-injected bike and it runs worse than before I did the work.
- A: With today's fuel-injected motorcycles you cannot throw parts at your ride and expect huge changes. Todays motorcycles have to have the fuel maps tuned to so your bike can take advantage of those upgrades.
- Q: How much horsepower am I guraranteed with Dyno tune?
- A: While a good tune will generally gain you anywhere from 2 to 10 HP on the top end, the primary benefits of proper tuning are in the low and mid range, where most riders spend the majority of their riding time. The goal should be a better riding experience, hot a higher horsepower number.
- Q: My bike's plenty fast. I don't need more horsepower - so a Dyno tune won't be any use to me, right?
- A: Again, the most beneficial results of Dyno tuning are found in your riding range - crisper throttle response, smoother shifting transitions, decreased popping on deceleration and possibly improved gas mileage. So while you may not need additional horsepower, there are plenty of other benefits to proper tuning.
- Q: Is there any need to dyno carbureted bikes?
- A: Yes! Carbureted bikes require fuel adjustments with aftermarket modifications just like fuel-injected models. Dyno testing can provide beneficial indicators of whether jetting, exhaust, intake or other changes are needed.
