About Lightspeed Dyno Service
Dean Thompson (owner/operator) has been riding street bikes since 1986 and has been motorcycle roadracing since 1999. He’s prepared many race bikes over the years and won several championships at the provincial level. In 2015, Dean purchased a Dynojet dyno off his bike tuner who was retiring from the dyno business. While still serving in the military (until 2022), Dean only used the dyno for personal race bike tuning, but after retiring from the Canadian Armed Forces, decided to open his shop to the public. He invested in all the latest hardware and software that Dynojet produces to upgrade the dyno, received Dynojet Power Commander certification training, and opened Lightspeed Dyno Service as a business in 2023.

Improve Performance With Technology
Motorcycles are designed to turn fuel into fun. How that happens is getting more complicated every year. Modern bikes are designed to make power while meeting increasingly strict emissions standards. Manufacturers are pretty good at that, but there is plenty of room for improvements. This is where dyno tuning comes in. Any modifications made to the motorcycle can be seen in real time on the dyno graph, showing gains (or losses) of power and torque, as well as any changes to the air/fuel mixture percentages. It’s best to get dyno testing done before doing performance work and adding upgrades to a motorcycle (known as a baseline dyno run). After modifications are made, the motorcycle can then go back on the dyno to see what was gained.
Benefits of Dyno Tuning:
Increased Rideability
Maximize Horsepower & Torque
Quicker Acceleration
Longer Engine Life
Better Fuel Economy
Improved Throttle Response

I helped a friend from Alberta purchase a 2009 Yamaha R1 in Vancouver. Once I got it home I realized there were some issues with it. It was piped with a very open TOCE exhaust system and seemed to be running hot and was low on power. Took it to Dean to have a power commander installed, thinking the problem might just be a lean mixture. Dean quote me a very reasonable price to install the power commander, program it, and dyno test the set up. Once it was on the dyno it was clear there was a problem. Dean dove in and found several issues, plugged exhaust, chopped up wiring harness, and a dead coil. He provided me with pictures and an excellent explanation at each stage of the repair process, tracked down the parts, and got the bike running perfectly. All for only a small amount more than he had originally quoted. Service, communication, and professionalism were above and beyond, it was an excellent experience. Rode the bike several thousand kilometres and it was perfect. I happily recommend Dean and his services at Lightspeed.
