anyone have an idea how much HP the 05 DS got in the crank and in the wheels?
and if anyone know whats the 05 predator hp in the crank and in the wheels too
we're having a fight which machine got more hp...
anyway i smoke him almost every time in drag race and he says that he is not a good driver yet...

what do you say folks?


10x alot!

 

It all depends on who's dyno you use... they are all different. The only real way is to test them on the same dyno, same day.

 

Dont know the crank hp.

The dyno Im going to in a little while here today, Reads 32-33 hp on a bone stock ds.

 

04 DSX with flat track tires 44. with knobbies about 39.

 

im talking about both machines are stock...
i cant belive the DS got only 33 hp on the wheels
i think its like 43!
10x for the answer man
can anyone confirm his answer?
i think the ds got like 50-48 on the crank and like 40+ in the wheels
for the pred, it got less but almost the same...

 

Crank hp is rare in dyno's now, and atv-rear wheel hp varies as much as wheel/tire configurations as mentioned earlier.
Its the performance combination of torque and hp that really matters, and it sounds like you have the advantage at this point.

Dynos, dyno operators, test conditions all vary unless exactly the same, which is difficult to do and expensive.

He has a good engine though. I like yours better and its the original classic others copy from. Don't smart off to him though, since he can get performance parts half the price you can, ha-ha.

 

polaris was advertising 50 hp (crank undoubtedly) awhile back so that is probably right. I imagine the ds is in that same ball park with somewhere around 10 less to the wheels (40 +/-)

 

10x for the help mate
i got another question
i forgot the adress for the site of bigboystoyz if i remember the name right, with the big guy that rides the ds baja
so if anyone remember it plz write it down for me

 

Nice ds650 i have the same one. Now you need to get it dirty. If you want help just give me a type. I'll type back.

 

you just cant count on any dyno number because they vary so much from one to the next, depending on many thigns including the tire choice.

the only real question is what is the HP difference between the two bikes given the same dyno and conditions and tires.

the DS is slightly higher HP, but the predator is lighter on the track so the race stock for stock you would think to be close, but from what I've seen the DS's usually win
