Hi guys, I couldn't post more than just the dyno sheet as I was on the dyno mans computer on Saturday.
The air to fuel ratio was way to rich up to half throttle so we lifted the needles up two notches, they were on the bottom setting.
We had to go down one as it weakened it to much.
We then had to richen the top end by going up from #112 mains to #115.
These were the settings that produced 86bhp with 62 foot lbs of torque.
The power comes in very fast at 7,000rpm and rushes up to 8,500rpm, it moves that fast that Chris has been having problems catching it and seeing well over 9,500rpm at the gear change.
The following day we were at York Dragway and Chris got the shock of his life. Instead of driving off the line and the front wheel coming up about 50 yards out as it had been doing, he was smoking the tyre to the 60 foot timing lights
We dropped the pressure in the rear tyre to get more grip and he recorded a 12.3 at 110mph.
Although this was a semi prepaired drag strip it did present problems for a few people. I myself only rode there once and I can remember the problems I had with grip with a lot wider tyre on my VFR400R.
I'm not sure if we have seen the best out of the bike as it ran faster with the four open pipes with megaphones.
It was an enjoyable weekend and Chris was well pleased with it all.
Sam.
