was adjusted at 49 - 46 ish SAE

and no one is taking my points over Craig without a fight!!

Sorry Bradders. The bike wasn't important anyway, just the intention.

dont need to apologise...it had 60 really but as you can see I influenced the dyno man with advanced use of Midi-chlorians

Skids... we need a new rule about mind control....

if a bike has no illegal parts and no illegal modifications, is it possible for it to be over the limit? and if it was, what could you do about it?

Quite right, dyno's and conditions can easily have a difference of 3 to 5 bhp for me at least 3 bikes should be checked and the average used. One or two bhp gain is not going to put you on the top step, its all about bottle in the corners and braking. Jimbo has not touched his in 2 years prob way down on power but he rode the arse off it.

I think about half the bikes were tested? Must have been at least 5 or 6. Skids will know. Jimbo didn't seem down on power judging by how he pulled down the straights. Every bit as fast as Kev's bike.

I agree with everything said Phil. My point is, what are the results going to be used for? So, we get an average (or even a highest figure)... What do we do with it? As it happens, i don't think there are any illegal bikes, but I'm trying to work out the point of even bothering to stress the bikes on a dyno after a race if we have no limit or any intention of excluding anyone based upon any testing. If the intention is to exclude people based upon a figure determined from the Brands test, then I would like to know what it was and how my bike compares to it.
