THUNDERSTROKE

Which cam profile is best for me? 558s or 585s?

For 111" motors: Do you ride two up? 558. Just want more power across the board? 558. Lloyd'z recommend profile for a 111? 558. Do you ride solo out with your buddies and like to "race"? 585. Are you a high performance, more progressive rider? 585. Lloyd'z 558 cams are a low end torque cam. They ride alot smoother. while his 585s are a top end horsepower cam with a more aggressive feel and sound.

For 116" motors: A bigger motor can take a bigger cam. A 116" recommended cam choice is across the board a 585 due to compression and engine size increase.

Is a tune necessary for my bike?

YES! Everyone motorcycle benefits from a custom tune. With our RTC (remote tuning center) program, we are able to build you a complete custom tune from scratch for your specific motorcycle! A tuned bike allows for optimal operation in every situation and riding condition, where a stock factory map has been mass produced to work. OEM maps work "fine", but a Lloyd'z custom tune works perfectly for your specific setup (exhaust, intake, cams, etc).

Do I need a retune if I change my configuration?

Our custom tunes are created specifically for your set up at that time. When you change parts, it will change performance characteristics. Your bike will demand different tuning for different parts combinations. We highly recommend that when you bring your bike in for a tune that you have your ideal parts combination set up so you do not require a retune later.

What is the tuning process?

Refer to the link in the above question to find the closest Remote Tuning Center to you. Once you determine your RTC, call that location to set up an appointment. Let them know of your bike's configuration and if you are planning on adding parts. When you show up for your appointment, your tech will outfit your bike with a number of sensors and data logging equipment. The tech will then take your bike on a few log rides to collect data samples. This will give our master tuners all the information they need to create the perfect tune for your bike! (Easy as that!)

 

Who is tuning my bike?

The RTCs provide technicians to apply sensors and facilitate in log riding for data sampling but all of our tuning is done remotely by our master tuners in Charlotte. This method provides extremely consistent results no matter your location in the world!

Can't you just email me a map?

No. Thunderstroke engines are all suprisingly different and require individual custom tuning! You can line up 12 Thunderstrokes in a row and they would all tune differently!

Can I remote tune directly with you instead of using an RTC?

No. The equipment is expensive to remote tune. We can only work with Indian dealers who are licensed and have certified technicians that have received proper training from Lloyd'z. We want to guarantee the best results in the safest way possible!

Can I use a pv3 I already have?

Yes, however, each RTC shop operates a little bit differently so you will need to check with them and see if it's okay.
