Wouldnt really think its a must tho the preloaded maps were probably done on a test bike so the characteristics of each bike would be different putting it on a dyno would be making the map more tailor made for your individual bike. some bikes would has slight differences in voltage going to sensors that the PC would be using so the one map would get several different results 
        
 
         Tho I am only guessing lol 
         
        
 hope you get a Professional answer
