Zitat von Tony101 im Beitrag #29Zitat von Bunter im Beitrag #23 Is this the skill you speak of below, from a poor guy who nearly gave up biking **UPDATE*** Confirmed today (Sat 2nd November 2019) that the ECU was factory standard. So confirmed, another HT victim 🤬 ********************************** Had a 2017 R1200GSA ‘tuned’ at Hilltop in December 2017, after falling for all the UKGSER hype about it. Only had a post ‘tune’ dyno run? I see most people had a before & after. I was worried about warranty etc, but was told by Geoff that it was totally invisible, the dealers couldn’t see it etc. He explained how he started chipping TV boxes back in the day and now is the ‘go to’ tuner for BSB teams and Moto GP teams.... but he couldn’t say who!!! Left the garage and didn’t really feel any difference to the bike, but convinced myself it must just be me as had paid good money for it and everyone on UKGSER was hyping on about it! So very glad I found this group, as confirms my gut feelings. Tomorrow, a Nottingham car Tuner. Apex Performance, is kindly removing my ECU (as I have no idea!) downloading it and sending it to Treetop for ‘verification’. Nice to see that the genuine tuning guys out there are helping each other to expose this scam artist!! So I’m sure we will have an update on it by next week. The update is the beginning |

Zitat von r1200gsauk im Beitrag #38Zitat von Tony101 im Beitrag #29Zitat von Bunter im Beitrag #23 Sigh.... You really can't read can you. Would Sir like select another chopper to fettle? Tuning experts, good people I guess in most cases can look at the 'look up tables' and see no change. That's because HT's work doesn't change them. How often does that need to be repeated for you to take it in? So, what a surprise  More seriously, you (at a level that I would describe as seriously obsessive) are trying to tell experienced motorcyclists on this (and other) forums that they took their bike into a shop, had nothing done to it whatsoever other than some film flam chatter and connecting a laptop for 20 minutes, and then imagined the smoother power delivery, increased roll on performance and greater tractability? I really need to not rise to your bait. Enjoy your bike, the wind in your beard, the comrades on the road, the autumnal sun and the pleasures of two wheels. |

I have read this thread with some interest... But have not yet saved up my pennies for the tune up at HillTop. |

Zitat von JohnnyRockett im Beitrag #41 JR, the usual procedure, that I guess most customers go for, is to have said before and after dyno runs. The price for the runs is minor compared to the price of the tune. They show significant improvements throughout the rpm range, mirrored by users on road experience. I deliberately declined said dyno runs because I wasn't interested in numbers and didn't want my bike stressed on the dyno. Personal choices. A forum poster on UKGSer (if I recollect correctly) was a HT customer and also a dyno operator. He verified the runs independently as valid. He may have been a plant of course. Customers who are satisfied and return with their new bike may be suckered in. Personally I rode away with a sceptical engineering head on shoulders with nearly 50 years of motorcycling experience. I'm repeating what I have said above. 30 mph in both 2nd and 3rd gear proved more tractable (I do a fair amount of 30mph work in my role as an examiner). Top gear roll on felt like 5th gear roll on used to. I get a couple of miles per gallon average increase, the bike was perkier (I've since got used to it of course) and I get greater snap, crackle and pop on the overrun. That final bit was instant and more than hints that something was changed. |

Zitat von Tony101 im Beitrag #42 yes if you spend too much time in virtual pubs (note plural) you get so frustrated with the level of bellendery that you end up banging your head on a convenient hard surface, thereby simulating the effects of a hangover |
