Same gearing too?
It all comes into play.

Motorcycing is not a hobby, It is a way of life!
Missed forever! NEVER FORGOTTEN!!
LIVE ON MY FRIENDS!
Friends dont let friends ride Hyosungs
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![]()
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)
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

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

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

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.

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

ok i understand the whinge..but you're still at LEAST 40hp up on me here...silly kawasaki riders.:-)
original quote from 98tls - Who gives a shite about Kw when you can all arrive in Fox at the same time sit and have a coffee and thank fuck for motorcycles..whatever the wording on the gas tank.
any more followers and people will be mistaking you for Michael Jackson
Nothing can compete with corner speed... Except Dovers book of 101 excuses !
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!
:slap:
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....![]()
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.![]()
