Hey (lil-Vulky)

[tigertim20]

PS is metric horsepower

10HP = 101.39PS
so fuckall different, I thought the diffeence was greater.

still 32 @ the wheel, how many kms on it westy? that isnt bad, whats the factor for loss? from crank to wheel? I had a feeling it was around 20% for shaft drives, but not sure for chain?

If youre doing a proper hardcore dyno run you can add a myriad of changes to make little increass, new chain in good nick, wheel bearings etc etc, but youd gain only a fraction with that.

Missed a '0'.

yes I did!!

[Westy_mate]

Its measured in PS, not HP, which is a slightly different measurement I think, besides the factory 45hp was at the flywheel i think.

Top speed of 208km/hr. a very good effort for a modded 250, even with all the mods youve done to it.
Still a long way off lil-vulky's claims of 250. and of course factor in a rider and wind etc in the real world, and it drops a tad more, still a very quick 250 though.

Ad for only taking it to 17000rpm, wont really affect it much, thats about where it will be making the most power, e.g. you might make 25HP @ 15000rpm, then 32HP @17000rpm, and at 18500rpm youre back down to 30HP . . .

Your HP will drop after peak, and youll reach peak before 'redline', so without doing a fuck ton of internals, cams, hi comp pistons porting etc etc, it doesnt matter how high it revs anyway.

Like I said though, still a very good effort westy, a bike you can be proud of!!!

Thanks mate!
yeah well looked after bike, makes all the difference. figured i wouldnt get much out of it but a few extra K's. how did you get the top speed?

cheers mate!

its done around 60,000ks, ive owned it since 35,000 and had it for about a year and a half. im not too sure, i was told it was around 42-43hp at the crank from the Bike mechanic who ran the test. yeah it has a pretty new chain, lubed every weekend as well as a new set of Sprockets. wheel bearings are pretty new too.

Your power is measured vertically, maked by horizontal lines. Your speed is marked along the horizontal axis, and each of the dotted vertical lines represents 8km/hr, so just a matter of counting them up, = 208km/hr

Very helpful, cheers mate.

around how much will a dyno test in Auckland set me back? im keen on seeing how much my (mostly) stock MC19 is putting out - its only done 10,000k's.

Very similar amount to all of the other CBR 250's.

Wow only 10,000ks? you sure it hasnt actually done 110,000?
haha i imagine it would put out something similar, depends on how its been looked after really.

i would like to think around 60 for a basic dyno... sorry mate i didnt pay for mine.

best of luck!

[over5tayer]

Wow only 10,000ks? you sure it hasnt actually done 110,000...

yup, pretty sure. I was overly skeptical when buying it but everything seemed to check out (carjam, disc-wear, brake pads... it even had the original factory tyres ).

Very similar amount to all of the other CBR 250's.

yea, its probably not worth it, but if it gets a decent result it should add more than the dyno cost to the value of the bike. When i do finally get my restricted (next week) - and then my full (12months and 1 week), i'll have 4ish grand from my MC19 to put towards my 06 cbr600rr

06 CBR 600rr????!!!! mate go for the 07, completely redesigned bike, Much much better

IM there with ya, maybe we can buy our bikes together haha, since ill be getting my full around the same time.

they ruined the front from 07 onwards. The other changes dont seem too drastic; slightly smaller engine putting out around the same HP, electronic steering dampener (ill put my wheelies down straight ) and a slightly lighter frame. I reckon the 03-06 rr's are the best looking out of all the 600's






if i had 9k i would buy this now.

Ive heard the Steering Damper really made a difference and could save your butt. haha its your choice, im just going from suggestions from bike mechanics and assorted friends. Either way its a CBR so its going to kick ass

those pictures you put up, are they the same bike? 06 CBR?

[onearmedbandit]

07/08 FTW. But I would say that, my girlfriend rides an '08. Love the centre snorkel and black frame swingarm. Also seriously reduced weight compared to the -06 models.
