Dyno run with a twist

[Leviathan]

I had my bike on Pattersons dyno in Bunbury today.

GenII, stock except for a pair of two brothers slip-ons. There were no expectations for horsepower as all dyno's are different, what I was after was to make sure the air/fuel ratio was OK and if my new Pipercross air filter gave better numbers than my clean stock filter.

First - 3 runs on the stock filter, the best being a 178.something hp & 105 ft-lbs. Whilst still winding down, Todd yells out "you've got a flat tyre" - the rear tyre had dislodged a tek screw (or something similar) during one of the runs and was basically flat. The tyre had a nice strip on it from where it had been slipping on the dyno drum. Scary part was that because I have the twin cans the rear door of the dyno room was left open to get rid of the exhaust fumes. Could have been nasty if someone was walking past at the wrong time.

Tyre plugged, air filter changed to the Pipercross & off we go again. Best numbers were 191.45 hp & 114.70 ft-lbs (25.6 deg C, 30.2 in-Hg, 31% humidity)

As a comparison they had a maps of GenII's with Yoshi 4-2-1, K&N filter & PCIII and another with brocks shorty, afternarket filter & PCIII both hitting 204 hp.

So, from today I have learnt -
Try not to run over tek screws on the way to the tuning place,
Comply with warning signs that say "clear area behind dyno",
Fully inflated tyres are better than flat ones &
I need a full system & PCIII.

Thanks to Andcad & duc13 for making it a enjoyable day. I'll let you post your stories.

Cheers
Troy

Thanks Troy for organizing the day, the guys down at Wayne Patterson's M/C are a great bunch, would recommend them to anyone.

Was very pleased with the figures I got on the Dyno except for a little bit of clutch slip which cost me about 5 to 10hp. All in all had a great day

Was a good day indeed guys, just glad that we wern't stood behind your bike Troy when it spat whatever it was out of your rear tyre.
I went for the full tune and wasn't to worried about the numbers either, we all know all dyno's give different readings but was keen to see the diff between mine (03 with 80k) and the gen 2 and it was only 16 so not too shabby for an old girl.
Anyone else over this side of the country thats in need of a dyno run? you could do a lot worse than going to see Todd, he knows his stuff.
Cheers for organising it Troy.

If ya lucky.

The gen II does have the edge when stock.
There are lots of reports of 200+ after a little mod work.
I find the extra torque to be the big advantage.
