Default jet kit install

As I wait for my jet kit to come in, I'm trying to decide where to get it installed. Quotes I got so far: Andy's $145, South Seas $280, Pro Cycle $50/hr, and Cycle Sport $275 with dyno. Any comments, opinions, or suggestions for shop choice would be greatly appreciated.

I have heard bad things on Andy's, Procycle does pretty good work with Jetting, I wouldn't take anything to South Seas, And I am not sure about Cycle Sport but Dynos are kind of cool to see the before and after.

Andy is a little flaky sometimes. I asked him to order me a jet kit a couple of times and he keeps forgeting. The good thing about it is, while waiting I scored a new set of Factory jet kit online for $75.

I probably end up taking it to Cycle Sports. Like you said PDD, it would be interesting to see the before and after readings. Always wondered what my bike was really putting out.

Just out of curiosity, what's so bad about South Seas?

Of those you mentioned...

Andy's $145:
Never had work done there myself, have heard negative things about Andy's.

South Seas $280:
Never had work done there myself, have heard negative things about them in the past... however I think they are okay now. (new service manager = Landon)

Pro Cycle $50/hr:
Never heard negative things about Pro Cycle. Had work done there in the past, happy with it.

Cycle Sport $275:
Never had work done there myself, never heard negative things about Cycle Sports.

Or you can bring it to RevTek to do the jet kit install and dyno tuned. They quoted me about @ $300. I've heard good and bad things about them. Never had bad experiences though!

I decided to do the jet install myself and just dynoed it at Andy's (price was cheaper than RevTek).:thumbsup

There are soooo many R6's out, any shop should be able to do a great job. I'm sure they've all done quite a few of them.
Before splurging for the dyno run, I would have it installed, then ride it first. If there is a 'flat spot' or 'stumble' anywhere, then you would want to have it adjusted and maybe then, dynoed. Ride it for a few days at least.
If you do have a driveability problem, be sure to take note of what rpm it happens at, what throttle opening (cruising, full throttle, etc) and what gear you are in.

You can also check w/Cycle City, although I recommend you request Donovan ONLY. He is the only one I'd trust on my bike there.
