Dyno Day at Red Baron (Saturday 29th)

Alright then... put your money where your mouth is and find out how many ponies your bike is pushing out of the rear wheel.

This is a preliminary scan for interest, the shop will be open from 9am-2pm I believe and rate of work is approx 3 bikes an hour.

This will be base runs only unless more space becomes available.

So far i know that SuperDave, tristank, swanman and myself are keen on it.


Cost will be around $30 per bike but may be less. I will be getting one bulk cheque so will have to split the cost evenly between those that show.

I will leave it until Tuesday and those that have up their names down will get preferential treatment (if you dont put your name down you will probably have to pay the flat rate of $35 per run).

Also there will most likely be a BBQ on so we can keep ourselves fed when we arent watching the wheels spinning.

Soooo get your name on here and i will sort it all out asap

Only problem for me - I realised is that it's my first race day... what about making it this weekend. Too soon though eh

I just put my zx9r zorst on - means the bike actually moves under 10,000rpm LOL. don't mention the wheelspin I got when it hit the power band coming home O_o

RB's dyno dont measure torque.. only RWHP.. for a ral Dyno... go see the fellas at AMPS.. full on Dynojet system.. tell you how much pressure you got in your tires


(postscript - high km bikes REALLY need to be carefull on a chassis dyno.. watched RB smoke a motor on a bike when i worked there )

I love to watch the bike owners on a dyno day - you can tell who's bike is on as the colour drains from their face and the knees start to wobble.You need a big no nonsense guy on the dyno....

Open testing day. Won't be any racing going on.

Could you please elaborate on that one a bit. What do I need to be carefull of? If a bike does have high Km's what should one do then? Thanks

You get to pull your engine down and find out what happens when little bits of metal part company with other bits of metal and go for an unguided journey though your engine.

Very educational.
