I doubt it, but my wife and I want to make a trip to Portland sometime in the future. For some reason we're drawn to the idea. May be it's all the breweries. My maternal grandfather was from La Grande.

Cool....I might ride through LaGrande in July enroute on the bike to the Hell's canyon Rally in baker City...about 40 miles east of LaGrande. Portland is where I grew up very crowded these days traffic is like back east cities now but for Breweries and great craft beer, it is Bend out here in the desert that has that really going on. I think now there over 22 micro breweries in that town of only about 83,000 people. Ya gotta watch out for young drunks in great big pickup trucks there whilst riding.

I am new here. Was on Dyna before. Started with XiED, then worked a lot on my TTS Mastertune. Then many tuners came after that. The "Best" of them : Powervision from Dynojet.
I am a bit surprised to discover that nearly nothing accurate exists for our bikes...
I am not encline this time to heavily modify my bike, but a simple XiED would had been fine.

Fuel tuners are obsolete for 1700's... Almost everyone prefers Ivan's re-flash of the ECU.

Never heard of better results, it may exist but plug and play has it's perks. And it has the best return policy, you do not like it can be put back to OEM.

Allright.
The point is I al living far from here.
Sending my ECU across the ocean with the several issues I have already met by the past with customs...
I also must be sure of my combo ac and exhaust.
Having his own tuner allows you To perform yourselves and change configuration if needed.
I am sure that Ivan has all the competences but if my ECU is lost somewhere, I Will be "dans la merde"

You could try a Cobra FI2000 or the DynoJet Power Commander V.
Just make sure you get one for the right year of your bike. Some have O2 sensors and some don't.

I've sent mine, from NZ, three times without issue. Customs wanted payment the first time, nothing for the upgrades.

But you should ask Ivan... He has a tuner who works on his behalf in England. You might not have to send your ECU as far as I did?

DURALEX · 09-11-2018, 02:55 PM

Really ?

Humm...
That's a bad new for a guy who has partially decided to swap his Dyna just because of too much time spent in modifications

But thank you for the info. Will keep it in mind

Thank you for the info. But I do not like to leave something on the bike. I used to flash the ECU only. Less mess.
