96.1 rwhp after dyno tuning.

If you don't have disposable income, then why would you buy a machine like this one in the first place. Now I just need some Michelin tires, anybody have the just right sizes for PR3's for this bike?

WHat exhaust are you running? 1hp gain from before the tune or from a stock bike? Can you post an image of your dyno run? What were your output numbers

If I understand correctly, you spent $1,000 to gain one horsepower? If that's the case, I would gain much more performance by simply losing 20lbs of body weight (which I need to do, regardless), and that wouldn't cost me a dime.

The main thing I got out of this is making the bike not run lean anymore, its manners are much improved. I'll post a scan of the dyno when I can get around to it...

AZbob,

I'm guessing that the Honda quoted horsepower is at the crank whereas mine is at the rear wheel. All I know is that the bike runs a lot better now. Also, this dyno was done in Hawaii where it's always hotter than dam*it and the humidity is just as high
