Dyno results....Re-dyno after reflash?

Quote:89 HP vs. 86 HP

Both rated at 66KW @ 7,500

The new bikes actually make less tq, at a higher rpm than the old ones..


Of course this is all from script from publications.

The real way to know would be to have 2 stock bikes, one old, one new, on the same day, same shop- dyno them.

The motor is 100% the same. All that changed is the intake boot on the airbox (part that people remove for the TSR plate) and the ECU tuning.


Cams are where the power is hiding in this engine.

Every other mod is fluff in the real world- meaning yes a muffler, decat, or tune might get you couple more hp but not enough to win the race against a rider who is only slightly better or even slightly lighter - if even just a drag race.

A few hp gain can easily be 'lost' depending on where your shift points are, rider weight, a moments hesitation, etc..and that is not even taking into account the 'launch' if at a dragstrip or red light.

To truly have a bike that can beat the other bikes consistently and somewhat easily- cams are what needs to be done...as well as more aggressive gearing.

All that being said- and I am an engine hot rodder at heart (none of my stuff ever stays stock)... on this bike it is all just for fun.

Could someone be the hottest CB1100 ever? Sure- and then get passed by some kid on a stock (just about anything else)...who isn't even trying.

That being said- I still do enjoy seeing what I can get out of things.
