Dear Les,
It is still with amazement that I write this and I wonder why, out of 9 or so paragraphs, a good two thirds of that is backmarking Pete. I now communicate with the intent of solving this dramatic play of plays that seems to be in a state of perpetual motion.
Firstly, I must though refer to the "Shayster Ponies".
You are right, I do know better and my bike, on a completely different dyno, in a completely different area, with a completely different operator has shown 171.8HP ( 0.2HP difference from Pete's measurements). No, you do not need to do "serious engine mods" to see this amount of horsepower. Ask JP, for I have heard through various sources that he has informed (including bike shops) that he gets 180HP - no engine mods. In my field, there are no problems acquiring 20-40 hp with an exhaust system, air filtration mods and a remap or piggyback ECU.
Enough of all that. I am now leaving my email address for you to send me a communique based on the fact that we would like to see an end to this and I am willing to communicate and mediate this situation that seems to have gotten out of hand.
Contact me if you will - rnaidu@bigpond.net.au
