Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Performance Mods The Dyno Results Table

I don't know much about dyno's; however, the place I took my bike here in Oklahoma City pretty much does V-twins. They charged $50 for a baseline dyno and said they couldn't do a dyno tune on it since they don't have experience with the parallel twins. They are a Big Dog dealer and also do a lot of Harley work. Our local Triumph dealer doesn't have a dyno. It looks like they stopped the run at 6K rpm showing 51.68 HP and 48.53 max torque. The tech said I was running a little rich and should probably go down one size in the main jet. I have not looked in the carbs; however, when the initial airbox removal, AI removal, pipe installation and re-jetting were done at the dealer, I was told they left the stock pilots and put in 160 mains. Hopefully the dyno results will get through to Staffo and can get posted. I would appreciate some input from you folks with more experience. The bike seems to run great and I get a good 45 to 50 mpg's. It doesnt pop on decel and starts like a champ. I only took it to the dyno to see if I could get a little more out of it. It does seem to lack response at about 50 mph when I go to wide open throttle. One funny thing about the dyno run was the response from the guys at the shop. Three of the techs who work on custom choppers, high dollar Harleys and $40,000 Big Dogs came over to talk to me about the bike. They said it was the smoothest running bike they had seen. They also said they didn't often see a bike that pulled that consistently through the run. If the charts get posted, you will see it was a straight pull.
