The only experience I have had with dyno runs was with My old Bandit, Bought an official dynojet carb kit fitted it all and tuned it best I could using traditional methods off riding it and changing settings one at a time, pulling plug etc. Time consuming but worth the effort. Took it to a dyno to check the settings they spent a morning did 3 runs and changed the settings (clip heights) twice made no difference to mid range power, infact made the drivability worse undern normal conditions (which I eventually changed back to suit me). Peak power at back wheel was 120BHP which is good for a 16 year old bandit thats supposed to be 98BHP at the crank.
Your dyno chap clarky must have been a good one, Definately easier to plug in and tweek on the run, or upload a map I suppose. I think days of carb tuning are dissapearing now things are injected.
More on topic, The Twin K&N's and Straight through system exhaust and carb tunning to suit on my bandit made no difference to the MPG on a normal week to and from work for me, take it out on a run and do some full throttle action and it drinks the juice. Worth it though.
