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.

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.

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.
