Same gearing too?
It all comes into play.

[Tony.OK]

different days,diff temps,humidity,tyre,correction factors,sae ratings etc etc......all make for diff readings.
My bike showed 164rwhp from GP earlier this month and I was keeping up with Rob from GP on Hayden Fitz's 07 1000rr with freshly dyno'ed 187rwhp down the straight at Taupo,same gearing too.
Its not how much ya got its how ya use it

[tri boy]

FWIW Dyno runs are quite unreliable. (can vary wildly from two different layouts, brand design, operator).
If it was my bike, and it was running well despite the possible drop in HP, I think I would ride it.
Competitors running wide, or choosing poor suspension/tyre choice will probably affect the results as much as a slight drop in outright HP.
(will scurry back to my cave now)

From what I heard Hayden old bike had an 04 motor in it at pearoa....

just harden the fuck up,, and come racing ,Dodgy Matt still races he only has about 130 hp, all the guys on the 600' race mate even a 250.
even if ya had more horse power , what do you think you'll achieve (no offence intended)
1 st ?
again dude use this series to ground yourself and to learn the art of racing and its intricacacies. then next year come back with the mean weapon and blitz the whole lot.
i think you will be spending good money after bad, with very little improvement.
so Harden the fuck up aye..
(i dont wanna hear your not coming!!)

Yes but YOU are my main rival at the mo, and you have a shitload more HP than me and we are both just as crap everywhere else.

At the moment im being told all sorts of different things about my engine etc. So I would rather just pull it to bits and have a looksy to see exactly what is in there, and freshen up as required, at least then I will have a know'n quantity to work with for the rest of the year

Anyway, whatever the outcome of the tear down this weekend, I will try and make it to the next round, it really does just depend on funds

[ArcherWC]

Oh and just a quick apology to Technic, I dont positivly know the full story behind the bike, all I know is its been soft since I bought it, but i probably should have talked to him first, before coming on here, but hey I was having a tantrum at the time

[Tony.OK]

Rob has both Hayden's old bikes,they've both been freshened up,the 04 is back together with 184hp and for sale at $15000 on TM,the 07 was rebuilt too,which Robs back racing with.

[FROSTY:Me]

Brian before toys outa cottting. Id suggest 1) get the valve clearances checked/adjusted.2)Get the air/fuel filter changed 3)get the cam timing dialed back to normal.
As others have said mate HTFU and get out there riding. Make use of the 160 ponies you have and ride baby ride

[jrandom]

Forget the dyno measurements, I'd be more interested in lap times.

I mean, Jesus, 180hp from a bike that tends to measure 155-ish stock? That's either just wank-value numbers from a dyno made by Dreamtime Fantasies Inc, or a seriously scary machine.

The power delivery would be bound to be freakier. I be plenty of guys would end up riding slower laps due to highside paranoia. You can't make up for that shit on Taupo's back straight.

I'm reminded of comments in one of last month's UK bike rags (I forget which) where they comp'd the current thous and one of the riders commented that he was lapping faster on the K7 with the engine in 'C' mode than in 'A' mode, because he could just relax with the throttle and focus on his lines without having to worry about rear-wheel traction every moment of every lap.

Disclaimer: I haven't the foggiest clue what I'm talking about.

[FROSTY:Me]

Jrandom Fuck dude you just said same thing as me--but made it sound so much more professional -dang you must be a fast rider

[n0regret5]

ok i understand the whinge..but you're still at LEAST 40hp up on me here...silly kawasaki riders.:-)

[boomer]

Ahhhh well Brian. I feel for ya buddy, it's the pits when things don't go as they should.

Tell ya what though, you wanna come down anyway and take me tyre warmers off and on? Ta mate.

any more followers and people will be mistaking you for Michael Jackson

Did you steel dovers excuse book archer?

Nothing can compete with corner speed... Except Dovers book of 101 excuses !

Would you like to borrow a GN Brian I hear they are mighty quick?

Are their suspensions and brakes rated for 270kgs?

The way i out dragged him at Puke i'd say it was a problem with his tail tidy... ( Between Brian, Winja and Ghost rider they said it was because of anything other than HP..... )

i reckon... a lot to be said for race kraft over horses.. **cough too fiddy riders.. cough

ahhahah... dude. fancy mud slinging when ya didnt know what the facts were....


admit it, its an old kwaka with no power.. no matter what ya do to it, it aint gonna be the weapon that a bike 3 years younger than yours is gonna be...!! so ride it like you stole it and learn to race on what ya got!

[Matt Bleck]

At the risk of sounding like a very cheeky c00nt, the cheapest way to gain power is to lose some weight, not the easiest tho....

[jrandom]

Archer's already made it clear that he's on a tight budget, and now you're asking him to shell out for carbon-fibre rearsets?

[Drew]

This thread sounds like something I'd bloody start.

Technic has said the dyno runs you are making acusations about are for different bikes than what you're on.

The compression test sounds like a fuck up more than the compression itself.

And if ya want it to read 180 horses at the tread, bring it to Wellington and dyno it at Motomart. Their one has produced some very high reading numbers for people round here since ages ago.
