81 650 stock valve exhaust cfm, temp, pipe sizing?
« on: January 25, 2017, 07:18:58 am »
working on calculating my exhaust system diameter.  I have very limited room to work with on a single exhaust pipe.  doing the math puts the intake cfm at 117cfm@10k rpm without any restrictions.  obviously with filters, carbs and valves in the way the baseline of 117 would be high.  but a seemingly good place to start.  I see the valves being the main restrictions.  hence my question.  has anyone bench flowed a stock cylinder head?  if so what did ya get?  also what exhaust temps would I expect?  being its an air cooled I can assume quite high at times.  also I calculated the 117cfm from this 40ci x 10000 rpm = 400,000 / 2 then divided by 1720.    so that all sound about right?  thanks folks!
