996 Dyno Run.

A chap on a Ducati site organised a dyno run day. 15 quid for a power run and fueling.

Below is the graph and the run on a short video.

Our got 111 bhp @ 10k at 68 Ft/lbs @ 7k. A nearly new standard 848 only got 116 bhp and 68 Ft/lbs. Not too shabby for our bike in Ducati terms. Still not much more than any jap ss 600 though.

Did he alter anything or was it just to find out the bhp?

Nice numbers. What were other 996/Ducati's there getting?

Nice and flat when it gets to the top power, real big spread!

Your A/F is way rich though! Might be worth having that sorted out I think... if for nothing else fuel economy!

No nothing was altered. He'd ordered a special gizmo that would reset the TPS sensor to zero and read the fault codes, but in typical fashion it didn't arrive.

At least we established that our bike was running rich, which is better than running lean although obviously not ideal. Was a bit surprised as we'd fitted pipercross filters and larger bore exhausts. Some of the other bikes were seriously lean and one poor chap with a 748 (circa 100 bhp) only had 84. Something wrong there.

No other 996's run on the day. A 749R. 15 grand bike when new! got a 112 bhp but only 60 Ft/lbs.

A Benilli Tre went on as well. 900 cc version. We were looking forward to impressive figures. 107 bhp. He was not impressed.

We've got another chip coming which does away with one of the twin injectors and is programmable in zones. Thing is the fuel economy is no worse than the Sv. Obviously not riding hard enough!.

112BHP is nice, guess it must rev well to make the power without the torque. 107 from the Tre inst that far off I wouldnt have though.

New Eprom I take it? I got one for mine (not a Duc...) but man it made it feel WAY better. I still need to get the change checked out

Anyway, why would you want to get rid of one of the injectors? Wouldnt it be easier to make each add less fuel?

Or you have a hole in the SV's tank! What MPG you getting from them both? I get 45-50 out of the falco but got 55-70 out of the SV. Similar riding style, maybe a little more idle with the falco since 40+ 6th gear. (Unless in twisties).

so you never run it on deisel then......

107 from a 900 triple when on a tractor like ours we were getting 5 more.

Yeah new chip. Ultimap it's called. On better specced Dukes that have twin injectors the chip is sequential so only one is used at small throttle openings, then the second chimes in higher up the rev range. All standard 996's have a stutter at 3.5k which fitting this chip cures in conjuction with disabling 2 of the 4 injectors. A single injector per cylinder can handle 135 bhp so that#s not a problem on my bike.

Get around 40-45 mpg out of both the bikes. Can't get into top gear on the Duke reasonably until 70+. So I've been told.

Have you seen the price of Diesel?

So what size exhaust you gone for? Is it the 60mm termi system?

Thing is our engines are pretty much race engines, the 900 is just for the road so is probably not as highly tuned. I dont know. I think they are supposed to be about the same power as ours, maybe all he needs a exhaust and a bit of airbox work and he'll be with us?

I think mine is only one injecter per TB. Not 100% sure though.

You cant!? Man my top gear is geared for 180mph but I can happily run 6th from 40mph. Maybe its because of the stutter you mention? Or have you not tried to run it at that?

45mpg isnt so bad for the Duc but id have been upset if the SV did the same! Odd that yours is so much less than mine was!

50mm half system. Have got a full 50mm but it needs the CO2 bosses welding in and I might lose a bit of midrange in return for top end power, so I'll not bother.

Dukes? Race tuned? Look how much power Suzuki got out of the TL or Honda with the SP1/2 and even your Falco has more HP, let alone a Hago Rep Mille.

I'd be doing about 2,200 to be going at 40 in top. Engine and drivetrain goes not likey.

Most of the people we rode with got pretty much the same to a tankful as us plus we're two up. So maybe you weren't trying hard enough!
