YLR Racing

Bit of a milestone for my dyno, hooked up both sensors, one for the drum and an ignition pickup on the spark plug wire.
Hooked up the cooling fan, I think its from an old central heating system, got it on trade me

Did a 4th gear run with the CBR150 took 5.8 seconds

Still need to figure out how to export the graphs , but the manual is 244 pages and my attention span is only about 30 pages



might be the most conservative dyno in the country !! 14.28hp



I bought a Datamite Mini USB from Performance Trends in USA, came with all software , hardware and has support which I havnt needed yet, they have online video tutorials etc
the dyno electronics and software cost about NZ$900 but I think it is well worth it.

Now we just got to get our bikes flashed up a bit !!

May be a more realistic reading then some I suspect. It will be good when we have several dyno's on the go, can compare figures and get some good averages. Help to configure the dyno's and know we are all giving out useful and reliable information.

Not taking a poke, but I do remember some dodgy car dyno's back in the day that gave false readings, Bro can remember some that gave readings from standard bikes that was higher then the standard horsepower ratings given by the manufacturer (and these were inflated to improve sales figures), so were quite unreliable.

May be a good idea to get a bulk standard bike and test the waters, that will give a fair idea of reliability. Then you'll feel more confident going forward.

Thanks Seymour, This is the most Std bike in the shed, it just has a pipe and up 1 jet size

Ill run my FXR later today as I have run it on a flash dynojet in Ashburton and also on the famous Harris dyno

Dont want to wind up the neighbours too much this side of Crimbo, the noise control at this stage is just my earmuffs, doesnt help them much though, I had told them about it and they seemed ok.

Good to see it up and running Mike, top job building it

[timg]

Awesome Mike
Waldo's reads the same numbers as Honda Country's dyno if you want something local to benchmark your's against.
All the best for Xmas

[Buddha#81:Me]

be out this arvo wif ya chrissy pressie Mr Ling........we might have to dyno the CBR again........cause we can

[Yow Ling]

OK checked the calibration by running my FXR which is 18.18hp on the Dynoworx one , measured 18.12hp on mine
Thats close enough for me

Yep, sounds like your on to a winner.

if you can find another 10hp...

[Yow Ling]

if you can find another 10hp...

Another 5 will do, its on its way next week

these is diesel horsepowers , much stronger !!

[F5 Dave]

yeah look where its revving to. Still rather ride your RG chassis TF100. That felt like it only revved to 9500. My arse dyno sez 11.84hp. Loved it though.

Congratulations on getting your dyno up and running.



This is a similar FXR configuration to yours, std with pipe and it made 14.4hp on the Team ESE Dynojet.

Ill run it in the next few days and see how well calibrated your arse dyno really is

[F5 Dave]

And it will give me time to invoke an excuse about calibration of these big bore engines compared to what I normally race

[Sketchy_Racer]

For what it is worth we had Kyle's FXR making mid 14hp on our dyno using simple dyno software with around a 7-8 second run. We still need to spend sometime sorting ours out but living in suburbia makes it hard to use it without having the neighbors chase us with shotguns haha
