Some of us don't have the luxury of having a dyno tuner remotely close

Hey mayor,  not trying to sound facetious but   how many miles/ gallons   cost per gallon  of  92-93 octane  have you  burned up  v-tuning  this year, cost   verses a cost for  wonderful tune from the local tuner ? :potstir

[Steve Cole]

Got no idea what he spent but I do know he was out riding and enjoying himself while doing it! 

[timtoolman]

and some of it he didnt

I look at it this way, the learning experience alone was well worth the cost of gas.     although the accelerated tire wear added up some additional cost.    other than the cold weather at the beginning of the year and the occasional feeling that I was shortening the life of my bike a little, can't say that didn't enjoy myself.  heck, I had so much fun learning....that if I had a dyno at my descresion...I'd probably had the wheel bearings wore out by now.

[mayor]

I also enjoyed learning from your work.  Thanks. 
Regarding the dyno being the most important part, I don't think the best tuner could do as good of a job without the machine.  I wish I had one, too.  Yeah, I'd wear it out.
