xtremef4i Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 This past Saturday, NinjaNick and I rode over to DTM to get my F4i dynotuned. Its a long and boring ride from Dayton but worth it in the end. I think we had 27 pulls for the day. Brian sure knows his stuff when it comes to tuning a bike. My bike wasnt cooperating with Brian as far as the A/F ratios went, at the beginning. Brian kept his cool and stuck with it, fine tuning the fuel table until he got it right where he wanted it. It was about 2.5 hours of tuning not counting lunch and other stuff. Even though I only gained 3/10 of a hp and 1 ft # torque, the A/F curve was a lot more smooth and after riding the bike, I was impressed at how much harder the bike pulls in the lower to midrange RPMs now and the throttle is a little more crisp than it was before. Brian said I should have better MPG too. It was fun just watching him run the bike and hearing it scream. The best part of the session was lunch. We ordered pizza from Don Ginos ( I think thats the name). Probably some of the best pizza I have ever had, minus all the extra grease that came free of charge. Basically, I just wanted to say thanks to Brian for working me in for a Tune on a Saturday morning, and thanks for taking your time tuning the bike. His prices are very good and he knows what he is doing. I am trying to talk my neighbor into taking his bike to Brian someday.Im sure Brian enjoyed NinjaNick's stories too....priceless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get back to work.....hey i've e-mailed brian at dtm and i think i'm going to get a tune. so it really pulled better? he said the same thing. do you know if you removed your servo motor or set valve? i have removed mine and it's definitley throaty but my low to midrange is lost. i'm hoping this tune will get some back. 07 GSX-R 600 K&N filter, two-bros. shorty exhaust, plus pc III usb. has anyone messed with the accelerator pump feature? did he adjust that?

Oh yeah the bike pulled a little harder after the tune. It wasnt a huge difference, but slight enough that I could feel the improvement. I dont have a servo motor on my bike, in 01 they didnt have them yet on 600s. My PCIII is the older version and accelerator pump feature isnt compatable. I have heard that feature does and doesnt make improvements from other forums. You should get you midrange back but Only Brian can tell you for sure. Good luck with your tune and let us know the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my tv mounted on the wall above the fireplace and the wires are hidden behind the mantle. I just got it all mounted and put back together tonight then as I am hooking all the cables up I find the chewed end. The wife left the little bastard out when she left the house and now wasted a brand new $100 cable. Im still thinking about killing the dog (in my head anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
