Went to pick up the bike from Joe's cycle last Saturday after having it re-tuned. The initial run at Joe's cycle showed 117hp and 131tq. These #'s were lower than the engine builders uncorrected peak numbers. Joe's Dyno chart now shows 131hp and 143tq and 120tq @ 2000rpm. I know these are uncorrected #'s and I know of all the talk about his Dyno but that's a big difference. The torque curve is much improved between 2000 and 3200 rpm and that's what I was hoping for. So I'll ride it hard this summer and have some fun.

117 axtell cylinders
10.5:1 Pistons
190ccp
110 heads ported and polished
Woods tw8-6 cams
58mm se throttle body
4.9 injectors
Crank pinned,welded and balanced
Dyno chart shows 125hp and 131 tq. These are uncorrected #'s.
Pulls strong 3200rpm and up but seemed lazy to me down low so I sent it to Joe's cycle for him to tune in hopes he can wake it up a little.

re-tune
After riding as many miles as I could everyday after work it was apparent that engine tune had issues.Brought bike back to Joe's Cycle for a re-tune yesterday. Bike idled rough especially on cold starts. Between 3 and 4 thousand rpm and just cracking the throttle slightly engine ran real rough. If you rode it hard it ran good. Fuel mileage was bad (114 miles on 4.17 gals. on the ride to Joe's). It also occasionally spits through the throttle body after down shifting and getting back on the throttle. Not sure if this is solved. Joe was able to smooth out the problem between 3 and 4 thousand rpm and improve fuel consumption now getting 35 mpg on the way home (119 on 3.4gals.). Idle is improved slightly. He says he cant take out any more fuel for fear of running lean and running hot. After bike reaches 208 degrees idle is better but still to rough to my liking. I'm also feeling like the woods 8-6 cam might not be the cam for me doesn't bite hard enough below 4 thousand rpm imho. Might have to change cams this winter. LOL
