Default 116/118

So, I took the FXST to bike night tonight, and there was one of those dyno trailers there. A few of my buddies decided they wanted to see what my scooter would do. 116/118 was the answer. I didn't care about the printout, so I have no evidence. Anyway, the humidity was 40%, and temp in the trailer was 108*. Afr was spot on. Tq stayed above 100 from 2500 to 6000 rpm. When it was tuned, it turned 117/122.

Wow, that sounds like a fun bike. Especially in that kind of heat. I'd iamgine the numbers would be higher in a cool 60 temperature. Don't comer here esxpecting to race me. I'll still be trying to get moving when you reach the end of the quarter mile.

How hard did they have to twist your arm for that to happen...

Thanks for calling me out, Keith! It wasn't very hard, but I wasn't going to pay someone to tell me what I already know.

Did they give you a sheet, or just tell you the number? If they gave you a sheet, was it SAE or Standard smoothing? If it was standard, subtract 5%

Sorry I wasn't more clear. It was SAE. They offered me the sheet, but I didn't care to have it. They had the monitor hooked up to a 50" flat screen at the rear of the trailer, so everyone could see.
