Neat graphs, tables and data correlation. I'm guessing you have a tach. It is really useful, particularly in optimizing engine operation/ gear selection to an engines dyno graph.
I also was seeking the 100/100 you mentioned. Got the torque above 100 from 2500RPM to 6000RPM.

BTW - Centerline ... no tach on my bike ... just using the 'monitoring' feature of the computer plug in and downloaded the cumulative RPM data ....
* * *
I truncated the graphs since when you've got 16 hours at some of the RPM bands, a few minutes is so negligible it just looks like zero on the graph ....
It just amazed me how little cumulative time I've spent in the last 223 hours above ... say, 4,000 RPM .... for example, I've spent just under one (1) minute at 4,500 RPM ....
For those who have the T-Max, select "TMax Control Center" and then on the "Engine Rpm Log Checkup" click the "Details" button ... you've got to be connected to your bike ....
I've 'saved' the logs, but for some reason can't pull them up from the saved files ... so I did a print screen and saved them as JPEG files ....
This is what the data looks like from the T-Max program ...
I keystroked the data into an Excel spreadsheet and did some graphs ....
I was hopeful this info would be helpful for you ... appreciate the favorable comments ....

I agree. This is very valuable information for the everyday rider. I have about the exact same commute you have to work and back. Including the two different routes. You have convinced me that if I were to get cams. I would go for a cam that comes on quick, and stays in my everyday rpm ranges.
Thank you.
