my local garage/mot/dyno is doing there usual saturday special again tomorrow, £15 for one dyno power run.
i thought it would be money well spent to see how good/bad my bike is running, if anyones local pop down tomorrow lunchtime.
the garage is called poleposition and its on the highway E1, next to the machine mart.
carl will be there, he better not laugh when my engine explodes
still, if the worst happens i can push it the hundred yards back to my house

Make sure you get a fuelling print out .
So you can see what the bike is doing coz a power run only gives you a bhp graph .
And as its blue (not black or yellow )
Expect it to only make 40bhp

I don't expect it to be mega, but at least the curve will show where improvements/adjustments are required. The BHP is useless, who cares, every dyno machine is going to be different anyway. But a print out that shows the curve will be useful and interesting to see how BSM's seat of the pants judgements are like.

I think 85 bhp tops

It's the black tank which will hold it back Lloydie. Even with the majority of blue panels they will struggle to overcome the overwhelming negative effect of the black!!!!

anything over 100 and i'll be happy, anything under and i'll be blaming the black petrol tank.........
any suggestions on tyre pressures???
chain will be adjusted and lubed.

42psi rear . check oil level before and after the run .
and fill up at bp/shell as its better fuel than the supermarkets .
and take ear plugs as it will be very loud .
i think it will be good for 105+ with your mods even tho its blue

With the amount of Oil Marty's bike is burning ( his bike is more damaging to the enviroment than the Exxon Valdez!!) those are very wise words Lloydie. Completley out of character old chap!!!

i need my medication now

i've used a litre of halfords finest oil since the workshop day in colchester
that can't be good, but the bikes running well, lets see what happens tomorrow, i'd like to see nearer 110 but that might be wishful thinking
maybe once its dyno'd properly it might get close to that figure

I would like that to but can't afford it :-(
I will be putting £500 aside over the next few months for a good engine but if I can't find one I will just save up for an other storm with low miles . Swap my bling over and sell this one to recover some of the cost
