Seems like my numbers may be low to me when comparing to others or is about right to you guys ?
It's a new motor not even broken in yet so.....
Do you think the dealer mechanic didn't tune it in yet and just ran it and record it. ? Not sure how this works.
and or would these numbers improve much and how much after the motor is broken in a bit and or if it was tuned better ?

How many miles on the motor when it was dynoed?
Cheers, Mike
G'day. I wouldn't have been putting a brand new bike on the dyno at all. Too late now, but you need to let the rings bed in, and all the other surfaces mate up properly. Dyno runs are of course done at full throttle, so you run the risk of ring blow-by from cylinder pressure, oil blow-by because of oil control rings not bedded in and bore glazing from the oil left on the bores if the oil rings aren't bedded in.

Spoke to the "Guy" at the dealer today and we looked at my Dyno Results.
He said it's no big deal to run the Dyno on a new bike as they do it all the time.
He also said that they did tune it and if you look at the results my Torque is max'd out right from the beginning almost in a straight line up till around 4.5k to 5k RPM's.
He also said that AIR / Fuel Ratio is almost a straight line on the 14 mark and thats what I want.

Crappy set of fake true duals capped into a 2-1
stock 09 muffler and gutted and a Fullsac style DIY 2" baffle
Very happy with the increase, 300.00 for a 25% increase....Not to Shabby
I believe the immediate dip is from the crappy pipes
STILL NEEDS TUNING
