Dyno'd my 2000 VFR with slip on

Nope. But it was a dyno day essentially, could have just been a sloppy job? I mean, while on the bike, there was no one touching the computer.

Plus I don't know if these numbers are "corrected" or not. No Idea.

 

I guess in the long run it really doesn't matter wtf I think. As long as you enjoy your machine and it runs and treats you good, who really cares what a screen name has to say about it? I probably never should have posted my thoughts in your thread, I apologize to both you and your machine. Thanks for sharing your data.

 

NC if you have seen many dyno charts and understand dynos. Then you should know a dyno is a dyno is a dyno. No two will read the same. Not many will calc out the same. Yes it's hp X tq divided by 5250. That's where the hp/tq will be equal no mater what engine, yes it's physics. BUT to try and match real world and math using dynos and humans forget it. Those figures are for an engine on a engine dyno. The bike was on a chassis dyno going thru a transmission. So there are some parasitic loses. Let alone how well the dyno was setup overall.

Seems like too many people put a lot of faith in dynos and their numbers for bragging rights. It's only a tool to be used and compared against itself for tuning purposes. Any other comparisions is nothing but a wet dream.

 

What's a dyno?
