Right. *rolls up sleeves*.... where do you want me to start????
I will happily pay for ANY 620 to be dyno'd with ANY 675 carbed bike on the same dyno, but you'll have to promise to re-imburse me if there isn't at least 7bhp difference. That's a modest 13% difference.
To give you an idea that has the equivalent effect on power/weight as removing 22kg from the bike!
Quote: the expected power outputs of a sorted big bore 583, standard 620 and big bore 620 are all around 62 -65 bhp
| ********. Try 51.5, 59 and 62.
Quote: however all this about different dyno figures is also very misleading as each dyno has a different reading to the other ...
| but three different dynos delivered bhp figures within 0.5 bhp for three 675 bikes? "Very misleading"????

| Couldn't disagree more. Sort it out now or you'll have an entire field of 675ie checkbook racers.

Andrew produced the ride of the weekend as far as I was concerned. I hardly think this thread has anything to do with rider ability. I'm sure CK & AK are biting their tongues on the whole BB issue. Where would Andrew have ranked with a 680ie???
I had an enormous amount of fun on the weekend, I have huge appreciation for the race committee, but that needs to be reciprocated back to those that have invested a huge portion of their savings/loans/time on getting on to the grid.
