When are people going to stop comparing dyno hp figures, its nonsensical to indulge.
Dynos are a great tool to tune engines and compare mods on the same day, same dyno.
Unlike thermometer temperture readings, comparing dyno hp readings is naive and ignorant.

If I can change the subject for a minute: I have been trying to get insurance for my Scram 500 HO but no one wants to touch it here in Australia. I have a classic car and some motorbikes insured through Shannon’s, but they don’t want to know about the Scrambler.
Any ideas?

GT Thunders dyno says 41.3rwhp so who's wrong ???? or more importantly and like Geoff hinted at, who gives a rats A**e...................... and who buys FMF products these day !! and just to throw a bit of kero onto the fire.............Predators had it's brief time in the sun, time to move over.................

it doesn't matter the stock RWHP,cauz it is a "racing" engine and a racing quad, no-factory can release a quad that powerful in stock trim.
once in the real world,put a pipe/filter on it,and it will pull the crap out of you.

I didn't compare it to anything, I just said I wasn't impressed. For the high price, I expected higher HP in stock trim. The only real advantage to this bike over anything else is it weight. By the time you add some decent tires and an axle your out more money and the weight would go up.
