CB750K2
55,000 original miles on the bike
Mike Rieck (JMR) engine:
Bored out to 810cc
Dynoman 295 cam
Ported
Stock carbs
120/40 jets
Stock airbox/OEM air filter
Stock clutch
4-4 HM300s with baffles
Oil - regular 10W40 Penzoil - not changed since rebuild.
Added 2 gallons of Ultra 93 on the way to the dyno which mixed with the regular 87 I normally use.
Dyno was done personally by Rick Stetson at Harrys Machine Shop in Northborough. Rick is a world famous drag racer and has a little plaque as you walk in saying he is a member of the 200 mph club! Another plaque says 222.2 mph!! So he jumped on the K2 and did the dyno - graph shown was when bike was in 4th gear...was fun to watch...and the result is...
Before the second run (blue line) the bike was strapped down at front and back as the rear wheel was slipping - turns out the rear wheel is either not balanced or out of true - its way out apparently! Anyway on the second run the clutch slipped - you can see where....so possibly a few more HP when the wheel is sorted out.
So powerband is between 5000 -7000 rpm which is exactly where i have been feeling it on the highway.
Rick did mention the initial lag on the throttle due to the stock carbs so CV carbs or something else would eliminate this.
Very happy with the numbers! Thank you Mike!!
cheers
