Well I have never worried about dyno's and all tha jat but just happend to be in the right place at the time when a local tuner had one replaced. My falco was handy and they did a free run
Apart from having a sports filter in the air box and remus GP cans it was standerd trim.
I was as suprised as they apparently where when they came up with nearly 125 at the crank ... I think ,couldent be at the rear wheel could it
Tech guy thought it may be because my bikes engine was loose having coverd around 38k at the time...
Always expect the unexpected

Probably .... and have you factored in the salt-air and clotted-cream fuel enhancer that must be available down your way ................?
Come on Andy, the clotted cream fuel enhancer is only used in diesels, (but you have to fry it in cooking oil first and then filter the cream out).
I reckon you are thinking about the scrumpy enhancer which is the one used with a decent 4 stroke bike engine.
A few pints of that in your tank, and you will be seeing all sorts of silly figures on the dyno readout.

I saw that very bike up at Kielder the other week. Sounds nice but looks weird with the silver top fairing and black bodywork. Can't believe nothing has been mentioned on the advert as its obviously been over.

I'll have you lot know we run r bikes on PEAR cider and very good it is as well .........Just been for a good thrash (on the bike!) on the lands end road so am grinning ear to ear at the moment ........had a good play with an R1 and a cbr 400 , R1 must have been a bit new cause he didn't last long but the guy on the 400 was flying in the corners have to take my hat off to him that's for sure ......
For those that have never been this far south west the lands end road is the BEST "track" around here .........just don't tell the old Bill !!!

Black and Bronze , c'mon you know they're the fastest
