Rode up to ECS with my buddy today to pick up a new spring for his 999 shock he's swapping onto his Monster. Steve & Jay still had the dyno trailer there from last week's open house that i missed, so of course had to see if they'd let us do a couple of runs.
I ended up trading a single Rizoma slider to my buddy for the price of the dyno runs. Bought the pair as a crash replacement a few years back, and of course only needed one so was going to sell it but I'll take a couple of dyno runs in trade for that any day!
Kui's S2R1000 went on the dyno first and charted its best run at 83.45 max hp and 62.81 ft/lbs of torque. It's pretty much bone stock other than a lightweight clutch basket. He had just taken off his Rapid Bike and put the airbox back together, so pretty much what Jay expected from it. His original estimation prior to Kui's run was about 85hp, and he did note that this particular dyno isn't very "optimistic", running pretty accurate if not slightly lower numbers than what might be true.
Got the Daytona up there and had my fingers crossed. Brand new, bone stock, with just over 500 miles on it and one oil change at 150 miles last week. I was hoping to get a baseline dyno before hitting any sort of performance mods, so it worked out well that I rode up with Kui today.
Numbers were pretty nice, though the spark plugs weren't accessible without removing the fairing so couldn't get torque readings. HP only. First run was 109.04 hp. Second run was 109.25.
Pics below are of my best run, and then my two runs superimposed with Kui's best run. Green and red are me, blue is Kui.

uhhh why do they need to access the plugs to get torque readings? ???
Pulse from the plug goes into the equation to figure torque from horsepower and rpm. Something like that.
But the only way they come up with HP numbers is by figuring out TQ at a specified RPM...
Thought that hp was derived at the wheel from how it pushes the load on the drive roller. Without getting to a spark plug he couldn't get engine speed, so it would make sense that he shouldn't be able to get hp values this way:
Php= Tlbft x Wrpm
5252
But if we rearrange the equation considering hp is being measured at the drive roller and we are looking to get torque values from that:
Tlbft= Php x 5252
Wrpm
That would explain why torque values couldn't be obtained since engine speed could not be measured without hooking into a spark plug.
