Well my bike went into GT Motorcycles last night to be set up on their rolling road. First run this morning produced 72bhp (see sig for what's been done).
It's running v. v. rich at the bottom end so should end up with a little more by the end of the day.
Steve, the guy doing the set up, is a god among gods when it comes to dyno set-ups and is widely regarded in the region. I believe he used to work for Crescent, tuning their race bikes but my memory's a little hazy on this!
What are the standard figures for bhp and torque for the pointy sv?
Regards

Just been and picked it up.
The final figures are: 76.10 bhp
49.76 ft-lbs torque
He's sorted out the massively rich fuel ratio at idle and low revs. Where's it has improved most is in part throttle acceleration and start stop/ slow speed/low revs in traffic etc. Everything just seems much smoother and there's absolutely no snatchiness at all!
Roll on some better weather so's I can enjoy her just that little bit more!!
the power doesnt matter
it comes from the west country.
It'll be slow to get going ,and then will give up and head to the pub half way through

She's just like me, drinks coffee every morning to get herself going and doesn't go to the pub much as she usually gets into scraps!!

69bhp for standard pointy ,off hand can't quite remember torque figures.
How much for the dyno set up?

£162 (with me 10% discount) but I had a voucher for £100 from my folks for Chrimbo so only had to hand over £62!
was it worth it for 7bhp?

More than that considering I had to get the PCIII in the first place. In total it sets me back about £260!!! Much more cost effective to get the Yoshi tuning but I got more money than sense!!
It still represents an increase of over 10% so it is noticeable!
i guess you have not tested it properly to see the differance yet?

My first impression is it has improved it quite a bit, whether it is £280 worth of improvement over standard is debatable, and whether it is £160 worth of improvement over the standard map is also debatable. I wanted it done so I had it done and it has improved it so that's all that matters to me!!!
Most of the things on my bike were probably not worth it but they all make my bike, my bike.

It should feel nicer in general to ride, too... That alone would be pretty much worth it IMO, extra power is nice but rideability is nicer.

The rideability is better now, much smoother at all revs and throttle openings.

agreed.........
my bike is down on bhp compared to standad due to my stubby can, and a full system should get me about 20 more horses
but im loving to sound, although im on the look out for a full system
Sounds a healthy amount for an SV650. Roll on better weather!!!
