Many people are unsure what a dyno can offer.

Many myths still exist about dynos.

Contact us with any other questions you may have.

Q: What can a dyno show me?

A: Dyno Solutions will show you how important your bike's air/fuel ratio is as to how well it runs (ie: how rich or lean your bike is running). Of course, it will also show you how much horsepower and torque your bike develops and at what RPM.

Q: Why is the air/fuel ratio so important?

A: Your engine is essentially an "air pump". Ideal and theoretical numbers are derived for your bike for it to run its best. If your bike is running too lean or rich, you will be able to catch it early before your motor suffers catastrophic and costly motor damage.

Q: Will running a bike on a dyno damage my
     bike?

A: No. Running a bike (and tire) on a dyno is no harder on a bike than riding it on the road. If something is wrong with your bike, it is safer and easier to diagnose on the dyno.

Q: Will my bike overheat on the dyno?

A: No. Dyno Solutions boasts an extremely well force-ventilated space and high-powered fans to keep your bike cool. We also monitor your bike's engine temperature closely.

Q: How can a dyno session improve my       
     bike?

A: A diagnostic session of three "pulls", showing most importantly an air/fuel readout, will allow Dyno Solutions to show you critical areas in which to improve your power delivery.

Q: How does Dyno Solutions maximize the  
     fueling of a modern fuel-injected bike?

A: We specialize in building custom fuel maps for your bike using a "state of the art" Dynojet 250i dynamometer and latest fuel injection module (Power Commander III usb) utilizing "Tuning Link" (computer automated correction) software. This combination offers you precise computer generated/corrected fuel metering (in real time) to produce smooth, linear engine performance.

Q: Aren't dyno sessions for racers or those 
     who are horsepower-crazed?

 A: Not at all! While the dyno has gotten a bad rap in the past as strictly a horsepower measuring device, Dyno Solutions' "cutting- edge" load-cell air/fuel type dyno has become the ultimate tuning tool for all bikes to provide crisp throttle response and superb driveability.

Q: Can the Power Commander damage my  
     ECM/ECU?

A: The Power Commander is designed so that it cannot send current to the processor in the ECM/ECU, which makes it incapable of damaging the ECM/ECU.

Q: Will the Power Commander void my 
     warranty?

A: In most cases, in order for the manufacturer to deny warranty for a failed component, they must prove that the aftermarket part caused the component to fail. As the Power Commander cannot send current to the stock ECU, it is highly unlikely that it could damage the stock system in any way.

Q: My dealer says my warranty is void because      because I installed aftermarket parts on my
     bike. What can I do?

 A: Consumers have specific rights on any product they purchase.

SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) helps protect these rights and has a web page with a list of what to do if your warranty is denied. For more information please visit:

Crank hp vs Rear wheel hp.

Many people are confused between the two methods of reading hp.

Crank hp is what most manufacturers state in specifications. It is derived with a motor bolted directly to a dynamometer.

 Rear wheel hp (rwhp) is what most dynos read.

rwhp is lower than crank hp due to drivetrain loss from transmission gears, chains, tires and wheels.

Drivetrain loss usually is about 15% but can vary from bike to bike.

Dyno Solutions shows rear wheel horsepower.
