I took my bike to the guys at AMPS to see if the carbs could be sorted out a bit more and generally get more oomph.
But NOOOO --it seems that theres been a substancial HP loss over the whole rpm range.
AWW sheesh -who stole my 10hp

You will find another 5 if you paint it red........

think you'll find that'd be a negative 5.. See, orange is a faster colour than red (scientifically proven), and has said to be a faster colour than yellow too..

Yeah but in practise we have noted that the red and yelllow seems to be faster than the orange (Might be down to the "pilot")

Frosty, paint your bike orange, automatically goes faster.. I swear..

are you sure it wasn't the dyno? or because it was a different dyno?
if your rings were shagged it would make more of a difference and low to mid rpm shouldn't it?

nahh being serious folks --the bike has done almost 2 full seasons without major internal work. shes due for the big birthday

I found some of your lost HP Frosty!
After I took my R6 to AMPS for a PC their dyno chart showed an over 5 HP gain!!
Sorry but I don't want to give it back.
FINDERS KEEPERS!

Dropped my bike off at GP's yesturday, a new Orange and black cbr600rr sitting on showroom floor, even Honda is catching on. A good looking bike! Looked fast too.

On a different note, they gave me a 600 bandit loaner, "go ya bitch!, corner ya slag!"

Sons RS was all over me, little shit!
