There's a lot going on in a Harley-Davidson motorcycle that can affect its performance and efficiency on the road. Being able to measure the production rate of these different parts and systems can allow for adjustments to be made that can increase a bike's capabilities.

This is where dyno tuning comes in. Using a dynameter, or dyno, to tune a motorcycle helps measure things like engine horsepower, torque, and the mixture of air and fuel in the engine. As changes are made to a bike, you can see firsthand how the power of the engine is effected.

There are several reasons for using a dynameter on a motorcycle.

Being able to measure the performance and output of a bike, helps the rider to tune the vehicle, giving it increased horsepower and torque.

It's a good call to get dyno tuning done before adding performance work and upgrades to a motorcycle as well. This is so you can maximize power but balance it out and still maintain efficiency. After modifications are made, a bike can then go back on the dyno to see what was gained.

Dyno tuning works by using the preferred settings of a motorcycle and the systems to help enhance the performance to optimal levels. Some benefits to dyno tuning can include:

  • Minimizing backfire
  • Maximum power
  • Stronger, faster acceleration
  • Increased drivability after modifications

Another benefit is the possible prevention of maintenance and repairs. An engine that has been optimized for performance through dyno tuning will have stronger and faster acceleration. It won't have to work as hard to accomplish the same performance, helping it to last longer.
