Hi all
Just joined the site and have been tinkering in my shed for some time with CBR400s , just messing with them realy, wanted to know if the power figure im now getting is in the right ballpark to go racing with. I have managed to get 82.5 Bhp from it is that any good?.
Oh its an NC23 if you wer wondering.

I'd say you've hit that one right out of the ballpark!

are we talking readings from the rear wheel or at the crank?

With regard where the reading is taken from its rear wheel, Its standard bore, I guess from the response that it is a good Bhp reading then so as for tellin what i have done to it, no way jose, Thats like asking the colonel what his eleven herbs and spices are. I still have some other stuff to try so may be get more from it yet.

I don't like folks who keep secrets. Knowledge is for sharing. It makes the collective stronger.
And that goes for corporations who buy patents and intellectual property just so their inferior product won't have to compete with it.
So there.
