With all the technoligy in EFI tuning modules we plug our laptops in to change fuel and ignition tables, how long will it be before we can go for a ride, come home and plug in to the bike and get a reading for the highest HP and TQ acheived on the ride you have just done.

I have recently tried 2 differnet engines in the same frame with different air and exhaust set ups and it sucks trying to use the seat of pants dyno to say which configs work better.

I realise this is what dynotuners are for but I arnt that curious that I want to part with my cash.

What year will we see this technolgy introduced?

 

 

 

 

TTs tuner has (or did have. Don't know about the gen II software) this built into the software. How accurate it is? I couldn't tell you. Not very I would have thought. It might be ok for back to back runs with different motors ridden the exact same way to give an idea of whats going on but wouldn't trust the actual numbers.

use a drag strip that will tell you  as long as you can ride the same on every pass you can tell off the time's & speeds on the timing slip

The drag strip is how I have been doing it but to do mods and then run it on the dyno is the best way to see where you are at.

Both engines appear to have the same HP. I thought the bike felt to quick to be stock so I pulled it out and stripped the engine back and fuck me what a waste of time, it was stock everything. The only strange thing was the cross hatching on the cylinders was still clearly visible after 12000 k/ms.

The engine I pulled out did feel faster though, now that its out I might as well poor some coin into it before it goes back in.

Mmm, seems to me it would have been cheaper to get it dynoed, than to go to the dragstrip then pull the engine apart. :-)
