    14 HP DOES make a difference...

    Took the new Multi to Seacoast this morning to try and sort out why the HP was down compared to 2 others Dynoed the same day. Giles and Rob both dynoed around 131. My came out at 114.

    I'm not sure exactly what was done...something about 'balancing the cylinders'. They also replaced a thermostat so the right temperature range was reported to the ECU. Result was 128.45 avg over 3 passes.

    Without reporting details...Riding home was way fun. Was definately noticable. Or at least, it was in my mind...!!!

    Thanks guys...

    ...and here I was about to guess that they didn't take it to the redline....much the same reason why my '08 FZ1 dynoed 22hp less than the others.

    Throttle body synchronization but yeh balance

    same deal equal vacuum and bad thermostat may have triggered some sort of go home map
