Hey guys,

Just rang up parramatta kwaka to get a price range on a dyno tune, does the $450 range sound about right?
Dyno caps, K&N air filter, dyno time and then tuning.

Bike is an 01' ZX-6R with yoshi pipe.

Firstly what the furk are dyno caps? secondly does that include suppling the Air filter (they are around $150 on thier own). Dyno run should cost $120 - $180 just to get a graph n minor tweekage.
Cheers Brett.

no idea what dyno caps are.. the guy told me thats what they were.. im thinking jets.
yep that includes air filter.

You sure he didn't say dynojet,???
A dynojet jet kit is worth about $180 to $200 a K&N filter is about $150 so supplying, installing and tuning for $450 is about right..

Oh and ask if you get the 10% KSRC member discount of the parts. If you don't, ask for Wayne (the owner).....

thanks madkaw. Do you know if this is the right thing to do to fix up a large flat spot before 8000ish rpm?

hmmm, probly not necessary... A good tuner should be able to fix it by rejetting (std jets) and tuning.
The dyno jet kit and K&N will add a couple of HP, but from my experience, without a full system, they don't do a lot for the $...
I put a megacycle slip on on my zx7r and had the bike rejetted (std jets) to suit and gained 5 hp. I then put in a dynojet kit and and a K&N filter and only gained 1 hp... I found the best hp was with the stock filter with the mesh cover removed. The $180 K&N filter then sat in the garage for the next 2 years...

i remember we discussed this b4..staintune found the same thing with the cbr...standard filter worked better than uni & k&n so they went back to stock...

Dunno if I'd ever go back to parra kwaka. I paid the $650 for the full service and didnt even get a dyno tune, coz the dyno was "out of service". I doubt if they even did much for the service apart for the ussual oil and plug change. said they changed a shim or 2 but I wouldnt be able to tell.

and on top of that no KRSC discount.

my rant over....
