what tune for hauling motorcycle?
im gonna be going home from school this weekend which is about a 2 hour drive and im gonna haul my bike. would it be worth it to use the tow tune for a 320lb bike or should i just stay with the performance tune?

If you do a lot od starting and stopping, the towing tune will give you more low end. If not, I would stay on the performance tune.

Hauling is not quite as hard as pulling, plus it's not all that much weight. I don't think you will even notice it that much.

As I said in another thread.. Just drive the damn thing.

Hell 1 or two passenger will easily exceed that 320lbs.
