2010 01 16 Dyno Run

From $1

    Here are the results for the dyno run on the 16th Jan 2010.

    As we went back to the same dyno we used a few years back, we had an original standard Vespa 200cc dyno result to compare to (the little squiggle at the bottom of the chart). The results are from a true rear wheel power dyno (not a machine that measures rear wheel power and adjusts that value up to guess what the crank power is).

    The results show that we need to have a wide tyre to lower gearing in addition to the 24/63 primary drive. Our peak power is 25.5 hp  at 7500 rpm which is 142 km/hr with our current gearing. With a wide tyre we'd bump this up to 149 km/hr. At ~8,000 rpm (160 km/hr with a wide tyre) we still have around 22 hp. The should be enough power but it would be nice to shift to peak power up 500 rpm just to be sure.
