Never seen (or heard) a bike on a dynomometer (rolling road) before,took mine up to Rogiet near Chepstow today
Garage owner Royston Edwards took care of the dyno run,explained some of the vagaries of fuelling and even advised me on correct set up of my rear Ohlins top bloke
Bike spec is as follows; 2002 1150 GS Adventure,Y-piece & Remus,K&N filter,Tfi techlusion thingy,
I 've fitted a pair of air intakes from a 1150 RS (I think) these are the tubes that link the throttle bodies to the airbox,they are larger in diameter and shorter in length than the original GS pipes,my suspicions that they would possibly add power at the top end of the rev range at the expense of some mid range/bottom end power/torque were confirmed.
I don't have a graph to show you,as I'm going back up for another "dyno run" when I've swapped the intake tubes back to standard
I'll get a print out out then showing the two different torque curves.
With the above spec my fuelling was pretty good,peak horsepower was 85+ at the rear wheel,torque was 72+ft lb but the curves were shite,less power and torque until 4500rpm than a similar spec bike (medicbikes
) but with a stronger "top end rush" up to the rev limiter (top end rush,on a GS? well,all things are relative
)
