There were also a few other people like myself that put their bike on the Dyno before the racing. So there should be a good sample to understand how it compares to other Dynos.

The competitors who had their bikes tested should be told the results of their bikes. Is there a ceiling for where the bike is reved to? I would hate anyones bike to suffer an issue on the Dyno.

I feel sure this will sort itself out at Mallory.

Just a point to how futile this dyno business is, how many class A bikes were behind the class B bikes with circa 10 plus more ponies.

Where as some had enough power to rip apart chains! (sorry Phil!)

PMSL very good

at the moment the rules state a maximum BHP, the rules are the rules are they not?

Very possibly Matt, but how would you feel if you had yours dyno'd at your favourite tuning shop & its right on the button for max hp.

You win your race and the circuit dyno says its over the max allowed by a good margin, your disqualified.

5% inaccuracies/descrepancies are the norm not 0.5%, as has been mentioned.

I tend to agree Phil. If so, what is the point of testing or having a bhp limit? The rules disallow tuning that would get you over the stated figures, so just check there are no mods against the rules rather than flogging an already stressed bike on a dyno. That is kind of the point I'm getting at. If we can't decide on a limit or tolerance, then we won't disqualify anyone, so why even bother testing?

I would be interested to see everyones results though.

The bottom ends (being basically the same as the 4 valvers) should all run to 10k without undue stress, and as the carb'd engines run out of usable power above 7500rpm, and the injected bikes not much over 8500k, there shouldn't be any reason to run higher than 9k on a dyno run ....
