12000 mi. / new f.i. tune



I had the 12k check done on my stock 99 st  almost 2 weeks ago. I was told a couple exhaust valves were "a little tight". It cost me$363. The service manager also put in a new tune on my bike which kinda  bummed me out at first  because I loved the mid-range hit of the re-tune  they did at 6k. He told me the new tune richens the mixture at lower revs. Well after 400 mi. of riding/ testing I ain't bummin' nomore, this tune is da bomb. I still have that seamless spread of power but now more of it sooner. Can you say throttle wheelies? REAL roll-on speed, perfect for passing  cages on twisty country roads or leaving traffic behind on the freeway.On top of all that   i'm still averaging over 50mpg! (I weigh 150lb. and ride at close sealevel) Sorry I don't know the tune# right now , but will call (LIBBYS of new haven,ct.) to inquire soon.           		later									garrett johns (stray dawg)								99st
