How do you know this? "Seat of your pants" is very deceptive for mods where you gain or lose small amounts.
I can't remember how many times I have modified something, gone for a ride and think, "wow this is much better", then go for a dyno run and have lost some power. Perception is a funny old thing.
With the mods you are doing, you do need to carry out a run on the same dyno after each mod, otherwise you don't know where you are or where you're going.
This is the best question so far, and thanks for the input. What I have been doing is controlled timed runs on a certain stretch of road that has very accurate measurements on it. So its a stop watch and a complicated marker to marker, throttle position, speedometer, and note book thing. I am finding it difficult to find a dyno to run on because most of the fellows here who have them will only run harleys on them or sport bikes. Weird huh? Thats the problem that I am facing right now. I do want to get some dyno results and I will eventually. I haven't found the guy who has one that will work with me yet. I cant afford to buy one or I would.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.
