Tuning your motorcycle can mean many things. At The Fast Tune, tuning your motorcycle means flashing your ECU and overwriting the values that are provided from the manufacturer. Aftermarket tunes typically provide increased horsepower, more torque, a smoother power curve, air-fuel ratio optimization, and other model specific benefits. Tuning your motorcycle to you as a rider means adjusting your handlebar controls to be ergonomic, adjusting the ride height, setting suspension based on the style of riding you do, and fine tuning everything to fit only you.

This varies based on the level of service the tuning shop is offering. At The Fast Tune, we provide a base level unrestricted flash similar to competitors at the price of $200. If you bring your motorcycle to a shop that has a dyno, the tune can be made specific to your motorcycle and the cost can range anywhere from $300 to $1500.

Absolutetly! There are different vendors that sell kits that you are able to tune yourself. Popular vendors for motorcycles tuning include DynoJet, FTEcu, Woolich. There are PowerCommanders that you can install and provide a base level tune similar to what The Fast Tune provides. There are also kits that you can purchase that are make and model specific and you can tune at home with a computer. At The Fast Tune, we already have the kits and are able to provide tunes for your motorcycles without the expensive costs associated with these kits.

While motorcycles do not need to be tuned, we highly recommend a tune for any motorcycle to "wake up" the motorcycle. Factory tunes are made as safe as possible and do not allow the full potential of the motorcycle. An aftermarket tune optimizes fuel delivery to your motorcycle throughout the RPM range and can also remove restrictions that the factory tune has in place.

Anytime you replace parts in a motorcycle that affect airflow, you should consider a tune. An increase or decrease in air entering or leaving the motorcycle will cause a change to the Air-Fuel Ratio. Another consideration is coolant temperature. For motorcycle engines, the ideal operating temperature typically ranges between 180°F and 220°F (82°C to 104°C). This range ensures optimal performance, fuel efficiency, and engine longevity. At The Fast Tune, we turn on the radiator fans at 180°F (82°C) to keep the motorcycle on the cooler end of the recommended range. The factory tune will usually turn the fans on around 212°F (100°C).
