    I'm needing to sell mine as I need to get a tourer and can't afford both so if anyone is interested flick me a pm. Just had the top end redone - $1000 receipts. Comes with standard tank plus large one, pack rack, spare set of road legal knobblies. I'd like to get close to $4k for it if possible.

    Looks like about 37-38hp at the rear wheel which is 1-2 more than a stock DR650 but less torque.

    I'm good.

    Since I fixered the dyno at Murray McLeans I'm officially an expert.

    I can tell at a glance but hearing it as well gets it more accurate.

    Got it all sorted. It was you area of expertise...

    I got lost finding the dyno room... No wait... The other area...

    The PSU was only putting out 13.8v instead of 14.8-15.3v and it basically wasn't enough voltage to keep the O2 sensor up to temperature during a run where the exhaust gases cool it down.

    Got it up to 14.78v and it's a lot more reliable.

    Sounds like 46-47hp but it smells a bit rich.

    I asked the exact same question @ thunderbike when I had the Triumph dynoed, they said "YIP" buts it's pretty hard on em, best to use an old one.
    FYI Trumpys got about 104 hp
