Fuel Throttle Podcast

When you call Fuel Moto, the goal isn’t to sell you a part — it’s to set you up for success.
In this episode, Jamie sits down with Bob Menning, a 12-year Fuel Moto veteran and one of the first voices many customers hear when they call. Together, they walk through exactly what you can expect when you contact Fuel Moto by phone or email, and why the questions we ask matter so much.
Bob shares what it’s really like answering hundreds of calls every week, from cam recommendations to big bore builds, tuning questions, and realistic performance expectations. Rather than chasing peak horsepower numbers, Fuel Moto focuses on building street-driven engines that deliver torque, reliability, and results you can actually feel.
You’ll learn:
How Fuel Moto’s phone system works and who you’ll talk to
Why riding style and RPM habits matter more than hype
The difference between race builds and real-world street engines
Why realistic expectations lead to better outcomes
When to call, when to email, and how to get faster support
How tuning requests and Power Vision maps are handled
Why Fuel Moto relies on its own dyno data and R&D — not internet opinions
This conversation also highlights the importance of long-term customer relationships, data-driven recommendations, and honest communication. Whether you’re new to performance upgrades or planning your next build, this episode explains how Fuel Moto helps customers make informed decisions that last.
If you’ve ever wondered how to get the most out of a call to Fuel Moto — or why we ask so many questions — this episode lays the foundation.

Real conversations. Real data. Real results.

In this episode of the Fuel Throttle Podcast, Jamie sits down with Lucas to break down some of the most common questions, misconceptions, and debates around motorcycle tuning—straight from the day-to-day reality at Fuel Moto.
From why motorcycles need to be tuned in the first place, to how component selection, exhausts, cams, and torque management all work together, Jamie and Lucas explain why you can’t tune your way out of a bad combination—and how the right tune brings a good build to life.
They dive deep into:
Factory tunes vs aftermarket tuning
Torque management, limiters, and modern Harley ride modes
The real story behind dyno numbers, correction factors, and “hero runs”
Why consistency matters more than peak numbers
Dyno tuning vs remote tuning—and why both have their place
Common myths like “every engine needs a dyno tune”
How misinformation and social media hype often lead riders astray
The conversation also pulls back the curtain on Fuel Moto’s dyno process, data-driven testing, and why honest, repeatable results matter more than flashy charts. Jamie and Lucas wrap up by encouraging riders and tuners alike to focus on learning, asking the right questions, and filtering out the noise.
If you want a real-world, no-hype discussion about tuning, performance, and what actually works, this episode delivers.
