So about 4 years ago, after slightly modifying my intake and exhaust, I bought a tablet, and a cable and downloaded tuneecu. I loaded the hansO 2014+ roadster tune, took it for a ride and thought this is great. Been riding it with that tune ever since. Yesterday, I decided to look and see if there were any new tunes for 2018 roadsters that would work for me. Claviger had one for 2014+ roadsters, so I got out the tablet, had to charge it up( not sure it's been used since 4 years ago), had to read up on how to load a new tune again, I'm not very good with the computer stuff. But I downloaded the new tune, reprogrammed the ecu, let it run for 12 minutes and then took it for a ride tonight. WOW!!! I can't believe the difference. Immediately felt like the bike had more power, much smoother throttle response. I did some city riding and some highway and the difference was incredible. I don't know why I didn't try this sooner. I actually feel like I'm a better rider now, the bike just responds so much better now. Having the right tune is so important. Thanks Claviger!

The reason is obvious.
That, "Rob (Claviger) tune" is basically a download of a Nels (owner of Two Wheel Dyno Works in WA) dyno from my 160 whp 2012 Roadster.
Rob did a few tweaks of his own to the file while In my bike.
A comprehensive dyno tune from Nels is about $300.
Usually one gets what they pay for.
Check out Two Wheel Dyno Works' website. They are also in Texas now.
Remember, the tune is specific to my engine. Results on a different bike will likely improve yours, but wil not be as good as if you had dynoed your own bike.

What about decel popping?

I had decel popping with both tunes. With the new tune it is more frequent, but softer and more muted. With the old tune it was very sharp, loud pops.

Yeah, I was pretty sure it came from Nels. Was a complete dyno file. He is a little too far away for me(I'm in Missouri). I always wanted to get mine dyno'ed, but didn't know anyone around here with a good reputation. Some of these shops claim to know everything, take your money, and make it worse or do nothing.
