Not sure if this is in the right place, so mod's feel free to move it!

Got my bike on the dyno this morning and am well pleased. I spent the whole of monday sorting my carbs out, cleaning them and lifting the needles a notch (pivot shaft screws were siezed solid so the guy who re-jetted it didn't touch 'em!)

so the results are

Torque: 30.11 ft-lbs @ 6.7k rpm
Max power: 44.77hp at the wheel @ 8.65k rpm

Not bad really, the curves are lovely and smooth, except for I need to shim the needles up a touch and lean out the pilot screws a little to make it perfect!

The guy said it's the sweetest running small 4 he's had in!

yay!

Congratulations, but you forgot to tell us what it is that you put on the dyno

550 or 650?

I think he rides a 1982 kz550 ltd chopper. Way to go punk!

Kick ass

Yup I'm pretty pleased with it myself!

Looks like I'm handier with the spanners than I thought!!!

Jon.
