[dino3310]

well, snuck out for a quick blat today 2hrs worth of gravel yee haa i luv the little piggy
shame work gets in the way of live, would love to ride that stretch of road without the lifestyle block owners 4x4s hogging the f road.
little piggys running well after the rebuild, just figuring out which gearing gonna suit before i go buying sprocketts, this things got some torque it just keeps pulling with the road gearing speedo only goes to 140klms and with the nobs and the duckybill guard the tank slappins not far away after that oh and did i say i luv my pig

just ran the standard tank to empty and got 191klms 1/2 road 1/2 gravel that be 19klms a litre, thought that was bloody good considering shes an XR and getting on a bit, o/s slug as well.
so if i treat her right then i should get 400 out of the 22ltr

[dino3310]

Can anyone tell me how to work out HP at R/wheel when its 46 at the crank.
oh and 51.9nm of torque too ooohh yeeaahh

Probably around 37-38 at the wheel.

Same here. I was impressed to see 170ks before reserve on the standard tank. It eats less petrol than my 600 4inline sport bike.

That comes as a suprise? It's only making half the horsepower.

Probably around 37-38 at the wheel.

were these models pretty corked up from the factory? doesnt sound like a lot of peak power
