I got my 02 Heritage with 32748 kms dyno tuned (2nd time) about 3 weeks ago.
I had actually got a Power commander 5 installed last year at dynotunes.ca and got it tuned at that time. This year when I started riding the bike again after the winter was over, it was ok in the begining but then it felt sluggish. i though may be once the stabilzed gas runs out and I fill a couple of times it will get better but no.
So I took her back to the doctor
. Bruce put her back on the dyno anf found that something was wrong with the PC5, so he replaced the PC (under warranty) even though I had not bought the unit from him. Second dyno run also was at no charge :worthy
I did replace the rear brakes and gladly paid for that.
In my opinion this is great customer service.
The bike now feels like someone breathed life into it. I don't need to downshift as much I used to earlier.
Now to another intresting part, I have a bad habit of making notes of mileage at every fill up. After the tune up, I filled the tank & started riding. Next fill up was after 141.5 kms and 8.1 ltrs of gas second fill up after 149.5 kms and filled 8.6 ltrs and tird fill up today was after 216.5 kms and needed 12.115 ltrs of gas.
90% of this travel is city traffic and 10% highway.
Before the tuneup my average was between 12-13 kms/ltr.
Is this good average for an 02 heritage? This is my 2nd year of the ownership of this bike and I am enjoying every bit of it.
Thanks,
