Re: [St] Has anyone added a tuneboy tuner to sprint st 1050?

Hi John

Your wording suggests you aren't familiar with what Tuneboy does.  It
allows you to alter the onboard ECU mapping to change the fuelling etc. 
In a nutshell, you might improve it or you might break the bike!  It's a
program for your pc with an unlock code for your bike.

The tune on a standard Sprint ST is rarely complained about so I see
only two reasons for wanting a Tuneboy:
a) You are a tweaker who likes (and knows how to) alter things for the
better (or to suit your preferences).
b) You want to be able to switch exhaust cans on a regular basis
(reduced back-pressure of free-flow units require re-mapping the
fuelling)

Possible third reason: Like to sit at the local biker meet with a
laptop plugged-in revving it up <G>

Bear in mind that the Tuneboy will only be licensed for the bike in
question, so parting it out after sale is not a money-spinner.

I haven't got one BTW

I'm asking because the one dealer I was trying to get a black sprint 
from offered me a 06 red abs model, with the akropovic exhaust and a 
tuneboy with the tuneedit software.
The salesman did not know how much the tuneboy added or even if it 
was really dialed in, but the dealership was basically adding it into 
the deal at no cost.

So I was wondering if the tuneboy unit was really worth anything or 
is just a useless farkle on a street ridden sprint?
