No Ron they won't as the Dyno used was an unknown quantity
But any bikes that did come out high will be first on the list for testing at the next available session and subject to the SAE figures and conversion figures generated by the Brands Dyno testing.
I ammended my earlier post and as far as the Parkitt Dyno goes we will probably be looking at a Class A figure of 60bhp (SAE) and a Class B figure of 49bhp (SAE)
I say probably as there is no intention of changing the stated limits in the rules which are Dynoject corrected DIN figures of 65bhp for Class A and 53bhp for Class B. Its just a matter of making sure the correct figures are used and applied to everyone
Most Dynos read slightly different from each other to be on the safe side your better off with one that reads slightly high, others will be quite accurate and the remainder will read slightly low, these are the ones that could land you in trouble, as you could have more power than you think and when tested at the track fall foul of the rules
When the figures were incorporated into the rules they were considered a fair amount of horsepower that should be acheiveable by many and although money and a good tuner could get you more the series is not about who can afford the best tuner its about being the best racer and having a even and fair playing field
as the rules say
***Dyno Testing – when available the intention will be to Dyno test the top 3 finishers in each class and a few at random, if tested after race 1 you will not be tested again after race 2 instead the next highest finisher shall be tested.
Dyno testing is carried out at the bike owners risk and refusal to be tested will result in disqualification from the results for that meeting***
As such Dyno testing will take place on hot engines and if anybody is getting their bike setup on a Dyno it makes sense to get the jetting/fueling suited to a hot engine as its a race bike and will be expected to run hot.
It doesn't matter what it makes when its cold as thats not how they will be tested and I for one wouldn't want my bike run up on a dyno for full power runs without a bit of pre-warming
