    nope this man has a MAJOR horsepower issue not just a simple tune up--He rode my YZF and couldn't beleive the difference -He needs an expert in jap import deristriction -and I strongly suspect its much more than simply adjusting the needles -

    If it's derestriction then just throw on a good pipe,a set of nz carbs and a nz ignitor and maybe powervalve control unit.
    Speaking of which,have you checked it works? They do stick and kill mucho HP.
    But the turbo thing isn't impossible......

    Thanks for the replies. I reckon on this bike there may be a restricted issue but the more that i think about the more I think that is unlikely, but I also feel that a run on dyno, tune etc may liberate a few welcome hp. It is producing low 90's at the back and I reckon that in a reaosnable state of tune a derestricted bike would be putting out about 100-105 rwhp, so really I am not too far off.

    Yes I rode Frosty's bike, and I was surpised at how much quicker it felt, but it had flat sides on it and the power kicks in a lot more aggressively (fun!) than regular CV carbs.

    This bike had flat sides originaly and they were swapped out (confirmed by a yzf fan mechanic at Red BAron). The CDI box is the original SP one and non-restriced (checked). So why would the original SP bike be restricted? Don't make sense. I reckon this bike needs a good tune up and that it just the way yzf750's are with regular carbs. I am coming from a 2004 R1 so it is bound to feel kinda slow.
    The rest of the bike is sweet, brakes handling etc etc very nice bike infact.

    Ray Clee is the MAN when it comes to HP and suspension. 90Hp from a YZF750sp is a sure sign there is a significant problem. It needs more that a tune. There must be a major fault with it. When was the last time it had the valve clearances checked? how many Ks has it done? Whats the compression like? Does it have the speed indicator light still connected? From memory it is the blue/white wire from the back of the speedo. If it has been unpluged thats your problem. The trick was to pull the unit from out of the speedo and plug it into the ignitor units blue/white wire. This tricks the ignitor into thinking the bike has not exceeded 100kph. If you just unplug it or remove the bulb it retards the ignition badly. A well tuned one with a motor in reasonable condition should see about 110 to 115 hp. If you put a FZR1000EXUp head on it you will see a bit more (bigger ports etc) a common mod back then. Find the flat slides and put them back on if ya can. Otherwise its dyno hours to set up the CVs.
    We saw 135 to 145 hp on the old OWO1 depending on the tune so a bit o work and you should be away.
