Re:Dyna 3000 Setting 8 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
So, I've been reading around. I ordered a Dyna3000 this week because everyone said it was one of those "no brainer" upgrades. Looks like the best starting settings are 36A and 5K limiter, yes? Let me know if I'm off.

Current settings for carb with BAK:
needle cip on 4th groove
170 main jet
stock pilot
PMS 3 turns (still a little lean, but think that's gonna resolve itself as things warm up)

I also ordered a Pro-One tach. Any advise from those that put this one on. I got it over the Baron's because a lot of folks said the Baron's "bounces" at idle, and the Pro-One isn't supposed to do that.

thanks.

32A is most like stock.

What setting you'll like depends upon your driving style with 36A favouring those that drive more aggressively.

If you hear the engine pinging at 36A then you'll have to dial back to 34A.

Hmmm...thanks Doc. I'm not a drag racer. I like to run up and down the mountain roads around here without having to worry about things getting squirrelly. I do like being able to twist the throttle to get out of the way of stupidity when I need to. You think 34A would be a better starting place for and boring rider like myself?

I like the 34A but you can easily try both out.

When you put the module in, cut a hole in the side of the battery box. You see what I mean when you mount it. The hole will allow you to change the settings by just removing the battery rather than trying to pull the unit .... which is a big pain.

If getting it back out is such a problem, is there anything I need to watch for or prepare for in the installation? I'm glad you mentioned how worth it cutting the access hole is. I saw that in the Tech Article and was just planning on skipping that step, as I assumed it wouldn't be THAT big a deal to get it back out if I need to change the settings. So, it's definitely worth the effort to cut the access hole, yes?

Yes .... even if you don't think you'll ever change it.

It's a strainght forward install but you'll change your mind regarding the hole when you see what a pain it is to put in.

Ain't that the truth glad I cut my hole. I ran 36A for a while and set mine back to 34A. You can still honk on it at 34A and get out of anythings way.

Definitely gonna cut me a hole now. I've got a dremel that should make it fairly easy, I was just planning to be lazy.

Think I'll start with 34A, sounds like that's the best starting place for a lazy loper like me.

noobie ? to follow.............


Is this equivalent to a PowerCommander on a fuel injected bike? I put the PowerCommander on my RS Warrior and it didn't seem much different to me (but then again, I never 'played' with it either - seems kinda stooopid now. I'm not much of a wrench turner. ).

Re:Dyna 3000 Setting 8 Months, 1 Week ago  
I'll let someone with more knowledge give a more extensive answer, but here are the general facts of what you gain. The biggest gain you get from the mod is that you can raise the rev limiter on the bike. At the factory the rev limit is set to 4250 for the 1600 (like mine) and 4750 for the 1700. With the Dyna you can take that up, giving you more throttle in the peak power band (around 5000rpm).

The other tuning ability it give you is the ability to retard or advance the ignition sequence. On a bone stock bike, this doesn't make a HUGE difference, but the more performance moding you do, the more useful this becomes.

And finally, it's just a better ignition module than the stock one, which can be know to be a little on the weak side.

Hope that helps!
