Had my bike dyno'd the other week.

After posting the same pic on the 675 forum it has promptly been blown out of the water. It all makes sense though. The red line for example is nearly 1k revs below that on the graph. Do you rabble think that's a valid reason to ask for my money back?

Does it only rev to 12500ish

Are people basically saying the dyno company has printed off a graph he thinks you will be happy with without noticing that the Revs are all wrong.

I would defo go back unhappy.

You mean the red-line on the bike is at 13k?

I'd certainly want to know if it was RWHP or not ...

Really? Everything I can find says that the 657 revs to about 14000??

Me to...


'In terms of power, Triumph is claiming a maximum of 123 crankshaft ponies at 12,500 rpm, with an extra 1500 rpm available before hitting the 14K rev limiter. But the real beauty of this Triple is its torque production. Clifford boldly states that it has more torque at 5000 rpm than some 600s make at 10,000. With a claimed 44 lb-ft at just 4000 rpm and 53 lb-ft at 11,750 rpm, this new Daytona is going to redefine what a middleweight's powerband can feel like'

Thats talking about the 2006 onwards bike

Er, what's the problem? The redline is a recommended limit, it's not necessarily where the bike ceases to make usable power. Plenty of bikes will keep pulling into the red, making it all too easy to do so without noticing unless you're watching the tacho, my gixer included.

Depends on the tyre really. The 014s on my gixer were generally OK after a run, whereas the the same run on the RGV (which had ridiculously soft tyres) left the rear tyre squared and glazed. All fair game.

Ha! My Hoover makes more power than that.

Your Hoover sucks!

Now I can see the figures...almost 116hp is quite a lot at the rear wheel, is it not

And it would be a little low at the crank...
