Wideband tuning while on Pit Stands?

[Glade21]

This might be a retarded question, but I was wondering if anyone has tuned while having the rear wheel on a pit stand? I don't know if not having resistance on the wheel would be an issue, but it would make wideband and datalogging really easy without having a dyno, or riding around. BTW the bike would be very secure and strapped down without any chance of jolting off. Anyways, if anyone sees why this couldn't be done please share.

Air... Flow...

A air flow b road force why dyno's have a roller and a huge fan
Might aswell just set there and free rev it you would get the same result

Oh yeah I forgot to mention I would have a huge 4ft industrial fan in front just like a dyno, and also to blow the fumes out of the shop, sorry guys.

It could be done but wouldn't be near as accurate as real-world datalogging. You won't have load on the engine, not to mention the addition of your body & bike weight and the resistance they would have on the engine - with the rear wheel in the air.

Edit: If I was going through all that trouble, I'd just Datalog it - just my 2 cents.

yeah i agree... if you enjoy riding your bike, and have a laptop, just do some logging... go for an hour round trip, when u stop after 30 mins, remap it, and do it again when u get home. ride it like normal, but also try to get all rpms/throttle positions... it's really easy, and also quite fun. you can track rpm, mph, etc... you can get your 0-60 times exact (minus accuracy of speedo). i enjoyed logging on my bike.

i also agree that not having a load on the motor will give a bad tune... most likely far too lean

Do you guys just put a laptop in a backpack and go for a ride?

Yep, you can also get a netbook (really-small) for $300 if you lack a laptop.
