Depends- most are around £25-30 but I get cheaper because I'll do a whole series with mods between each sequence.
Remember that the info is also useful for the dyno shop, as they can tell other owners that they have a track record of setting these bikes up.

Worth haggling a bit, especially if your'e buying the parts like a Dynojet kit, aftermarket filter, plugs etc, as they also make money on those and so can do you a deal.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

which is why its worth speaking to the operator (or a few of them if there are a few dynos locally)
ask them to pull a few runs of same bikes with same cans etc.
they may have just entered scant info like vtr1000 dyno stage 1 blue flame
but may have entered more detailed info with jetting sizes and needle settings etc which will be very helpfull in getting it close before you do a run.

i heard the best place for dynos is jurassic park. :Beer Popcorn:

Not lived round there for a while, Is there still a bike tyre place off the Smallheath bypass on the way into Birmingham? He used to have a dyno and do good deals on tyres too, Craig I think his name was..
