Who stole my Horsepower???

**FROSTY:Me** · 7th March 2006, 06:51

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........

**bugjuice** · 7th March 2006, 08:29

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")
