Hi guys

I've a Dyno Chart print-out which came with the bike I've just imported. However, it's in French, so I'm having to guess a little at what it means. The columns are headed:

*Proue cv*

*ECETrq CNm*

*puiss cv*

*Lambda Ratio*

*Pvi/re cv*

*Pro/re cv*

Anyone help with its translation? (The free translation sites don't put these abbreviations into the context of an engine's output, so aren't much help!)

I've a receipt too, which says: réglage soupapes contrôle divers jeux fonctionnement

joint carter embrayage
passages banc

I think it's something to do with the valves/clutch etc. But what exactly? (Come on Phill911, where are you..?)

Cheers
Steve

*Proue cv* = wheel hp

*ECETrq CNm* = torque

*puiss cv* = hp

*Lambda Ratio* = co/o2 ratio

*Pvi/re cv* (more about hp)

*Pro/re cv* (even more about hp)

CNm is Newton-metres(hundreds) ie equiv to ft/lbs
cv = cheval-vitesse I think (horse-speed) :lol:

"réglage soupapes contrôle divers jeux fonctionnement"
Something along the lines of "valve adjustment and check operation of various controls "
I fink....... :P

lamda is a gas measurement to do with your fuelling/exhaust, obviously used on every dyno.
