I will try to answer some of the issues.
Simon,
I don’t know whether I’ve upset you, if I have, I’m sorry, it’s not my intention. It’s a problem with forum’s, you can’t tell peoples real emotions, even if smilies are used
The only issue I have is that you seem to claim that Dynotech engines go bang. Please don’t get upset, but I honestly believe that’s unfair. Furthermore, if Dynotech read your posts I think that they would be rather upset and may want to take it further, don’t you
I have no issues with ANY tuners.
For the record, and I’ve already said it once, you’ve improved massively and gone extremely well this year, and a number of other people have also said so to me. As you say, the results show that. It’s no doubt a combination of you’re riding and you’re bike and I presume due to the help of Laurence.
I will help and give advice, WHEN I can help. The advice that I have already given is speak to ALL tuners as I did when I wanted to get a ZXR. Regardless of how good they all are at tuning ZXRs, I’m sure they all have their goods points and bad points. They can then make up their own mind. For me, the main thing is You need to be able to ‘get on’ with your tuner, and I would also suggest the closer they are to you the better, but the former is more important.
And, for the record, I have no doubt that Laurence is one of the excellent tuners. I have my reasons for not using him, YET, and it’s nothing to do with him or his tuning. (BTW, I did not speak to him before I got a ZXR because I was unaware of his existence).
In your post under username Guest, you ask how much it is to get an engine tuned by Dynotech. I have mentioned this to you in a PM a while ago after going through my receipts and I believe from memory that the figure I got to was approx £2,000. A couple of months ago I spoke to Dynotech about doing another engine from fresh(standard), ie, a full engine tune including parts and labour, it was just under the £2k mark. So, in comparison to the £2K charged that you mentioned for the Feisty bike that had already been tuned, I think it’s fair to say it’s pretty similar. And I believe that will be pretty much the case for all tuners give or take a little bit.
I also know you’re a big boy now , and need no favours. We are two different people and react in different ways. If someone feels that I’m doing something wrong, unfair or whatever, I would actually like them to do me a favour and to let me know, and know why. Whether I agree or not is another matter, but at least I’ll have the opportunity to think about it, correct it, or apologise, if I feel it’s necessary.
Anyway, there’s me occasionally getting a bit serious there.
If anyone wants advice about tuners and my experiences, then please PM me, I think it’s probably the best way. It will be unbiased. As you will have gathered I use Dynotech and I can tell you why.
Anyway, It’s good that you think it’s funny and makes you laugh after a bad day at work. I was thinking it didn’t really come across that way.
Good Luck at Brands Simon. Are you doing Lydden? I seem to recall you went particularly well there! I might come to spectate.
