Yep, Mark got the wrong Kevin
The Monster was initially measured in Feb 2011 in the following state
Engine completely untouched and although carbs have a dyno-jet kit fitted its running standard air-box lid and standard paper filter. Exhaust is standard down-pipes with Hi-level Sils.
Max BHP in 4th Gear Roll on was 44.9hp (SAE)
Ben from Classic Bikes then rode it at Brands and I had it dyno'd again but can't recall what it measured that time or where the info may be, possibly mentioned in the article.
Best route to improving the bhp is usually, re-seating the valves, shimming them and getting the cams dialled in
