I can't see why you would put a stock bike on a dyno anyway as it will only be disappointing compared to claimed factory hp.

Do some hefty engine mods and see the gains you have made. Therein lies the satisfaction from a dyno run.

i was just curious how it is stock. for $20, it's not so bad.

it won't be for a longtime before i do some serious mods.

Yet you called it pathetic and said you were very disappointed.
Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

Well if trackdays are #1 on your list, than it could be awhile for those mods.

I guess it depends what factory you are talking about... I am not disappointed

Buell site:

Horsepower (North America per SAE J607) 103 HP
Torque (North America per SAE J607) 84 ft. lbs. @ 6000 RPM 113 NM @ 6000 RPM

My bike's stock dyno:

It is still down on claimed hp.
The best one can hope for is a confirmation of known power output and I just can't see the point.

p.s, are you planning on filling that hole at 3500rpm?

You understand dynos are completely pointless don't you?

Dude, you should get this tattooed on your arm:

"My bike can still go from 0-60 in 3 seconds."

Truth is, your bike might be able to go that fast, but I'd bet my next paycheque that YOU can't get it to do that.

Quit worrying about the [edit: DO NOT hide profane language with turning on and off the bold/italics - it's still not acceptable language on this website] numbers and just learn to ride your bike.
