You could make it 2 awards in less then a month Brian :)

come on guys, you should get some of those Monsters on the dyno..

So onlookers can remark how they thought Ducatis were meant to be high powered? [laugh]

Is there any particular reason we should put the bikes on the dyno? Yes that is a serious question.

well firstly, maybe to get in the spirit of the day, it's easy to show n shine, but am sure a lot of people, including you guys would be surprised at the HP your bikes are putting out + it can also highlight potential issues with the way the bike is running.. - ie too lean in a certain rev range.. is it such a bad thing?


 

Dunno, that's why I was asking. Just because I have a couple of thousand posts on here doesn't mean that I have any idea what these things are, how they work or what they are good for.

The fact that my bike has never been in the rev range where a dyno is likely to take it I would be a little cautious.

well, for those that want to be cautious, there's still a show n shine on the day.. and Rapid Bikes & AMCN mags will be there, Zak is also having a huge tyre sale on Pirelli/Michelin/Conti tyres + a free sausage sizzle.. never know, you might enjoy the day out :)

I might stick my head in Michael.....think i missed the cut off for entering anything...any chance of having a set of black/red rear sets in your pocket to view..?

see what i've got...

Rather than knitting i decided to stick my head in plus see Michaels gear in the flesh. While chatting, someone snuck over and wheeled my Monster into a little room. End result as follows............ ;D ;D ;D ;D

I thought it was going to buck the guy off!
What are the numbers on it?

It was down on power, running way too lean they said....around 105 at the wheel....should be 20% more i was told........i will let the experts study the graph.....One bike called "Judge"actually shot a rod through the case and caught on fire. But then again....it was virtually a full on drag bike, hardly resembling a Kawasaki which it once was.

Nice!

Do you think you'll go the powercommander route, and see if you can get that 20% back?

They actually suggested a microtec ecu, what carbon imports have. Might have a chat with george there.

Good onya Brian for having a go.  [clap]

They certainly blew the cobwebs out of her





                                         Mmick

Yeah certainly shows how much the suspension needs to work with just the input from the throttle [roll]

Good to see you again Brian, it's a pity about the weather, assume you got home safely.. is shame more didn't come out for the day, can be quite informative... anyway, a good day was had by all there!

Very good Detective work there J5..........pity that they cut it short, it actually then caught fire underneath and Zac (on the bike) nearly did as well......

Ouch!
Sorry I couldn't come out, had a long standing prior engagement.
