Default Took my quad to the dyno!

I drove my quad up to Salem today and left it at DTR Racing so they can dyno it and get it jetting the best they can. I should have it back by tomorrow evening if not then then thursday forsure. I'm gettin HP and Torque readings so I'll post them when I get it back if anyone is curious but I dont know if there dyno is accurate or not cause I think its setup for more jetting and mechanic work then getting an accurate HP reading. I thought I was doing the jetting myself but they do everything for you so thats really nice! I'm gonna be running all dynojet carb parts now, hope they work better than makuni (they should)


*Just called em up! He just got done with the first run with the carbs setup how I had them. He said it was running pretty bad on the low and top but pulled strong in the mid. I gotta call him back at 5:30 to get somemore info. It ran 54 HP and thats running crappy on the top end! Hopefully I'll gain alot more top end HP, I think I will!

If that dyno isn't in similar tempurature humidity altitude conditions jetting may need to be fine tuned

I think using the DJs is a bad idea. JMHO

He's jetting it to run best at the coast. I donno maybe you can use the computer on the dyno to adjust conditions er something similar? I'm not familiar with dynos at all so thats my best guess.

i was using the dj needles and bob said that is a no for sure. I had to put stock pilots in to make it run., But i also had mikuni main jets and pilots.

sixsixT: If the dynojet needles and mains dont work well with the bike he wont use them and he will switch back to makunis. Just have to wait and see how it all goes!

Just curious as to how much they are charging. I called LRD and they were about $200 to jet it on their dyno.

I paid 80 bucks for 3 sets of runs, i actually ran 4 sets.... about 14 runs in all... I went with DJ needles and mains because i couldn't get rich enough with the mikuni's i had... the 27.5 pilots are the only mikuni jets in my carbs... Was definately worth the 80 bucks... Not to mention I got to do my own work which is important to me, and i spent around 2 hours in their shop... I gained 20% more HP on the top end....

Ya, that deffinatly sounds like its worth the money you paid! I hope I gain that much out of it! It seems like theres alot more hidden HP in that engine that I need to unlock with good jetting!
