Posted October 30, 200420 yr Took my EXUP for a dyno run today. It's all standard apart from a K&N filter element. The power is measured at the crank (not sure why they do it this way but they do) so allowing about 10% for transmission losses it's doing about 125 at the wheel which is good enough for me. The tester did comment that it's running very rich and sooty - something like 7.5%co (should be nearer 1.5) which is probably down to worn emulsion tubes in the carbs but said it's still making lots of power It's an 89 model with 28k on the clock.
October 30, 200420 yr f@*k me, you'll be happy with that mate! that's serious power for a 15yr old bike!
October 30, 200420 yr Moderator Impressive results indeed! 8) Seems like that motor is well looked after :wink:
October 30, 200420 yr Author Cheers guys. I'm very pleased with it. After all the hassle I had when I first bought it - knackered exup valve, valve shims etc I am glad it's doing what it's supposed to. I've only had strokers and an FZ750 before so had nothing to really compare the bike to. Where it's only got 5 widely spaced gears and a smooth power curve it's deceptive how fast you're going even though it doesn't always feel like it :wink:
