Dyno questions?

Yamerhaw · 12-04-2008, 01:55 PM

does the weight of the rider and the gearing affect dyno numbers? seems in my uneducated mind that it would have to?

Not really, it effects performance, but not engine output. Now gearing matters with how accurate the dyno's measurement is, but the tach led is suppose to allow the dyno software to account for any gear ratio.

that is a debated topic of dynojet vs flowjet numbers.

It won't but that is ONE of the many points that makes the above differences.

Gearing yes (possibly, depending on if you can get a tach signal)
Rider weight, no. There should be no rider weight on the bike when running on the dyno. Rider should stand straddling the bike.

Most dyno runs (that I've seen) are a single gear pull. usually one gear down from top (ie 5th for sportbikes, 4th for most HD's) as that is the closest to a 1:1 ratio.
