Default dyno run

Well I rejetted my sporty yesterday and today I took it to the local HD dealer to get the to fine tune on the dyno, they did 2 pulls with it and asked me what I was complaining about. My air/fule ratio was perfectly flat and they couldnt do anything, still charged me $35 but oh well still fell good about it. If I ever get a scaner I will post it up.

Any comment from them about the pipes holding your HP/torque numbers down a little? I'd think you should get closer to 70 HP and TQ with your setup if you had a 2-1 pipe or even SE's or CS's. Pipes (especially drags, Straight Shots, etc.) can actually hinder things a bit (although they sound great). With drags, etc. there's less reversion and thus less efficient cylinder fill (and less power than possible)...Just a thought...

Actuuly the only thing they said was to get an ignition module because my bike was still making hp and torque but the revlimiter kicks in a 5200rpm actully the hp curve was still pretty steep at that point

True - it'll be strong up to about 6800RPM or a little more...

We checked the stock 'rev-limited' on my '05 1200C, and it was set right at 6,000 RPM.

But even with the "E" cams that were installed, the horsepower peaks right at 6,000 RPM, stays there for a few hundred RPM, and then starts to drop.

Because of that I decided not to go with an aftermarket ignition module. If it were set up strictly for drag racing I might want to shift in the 6,400 RPM range so the bike wouldn't drop out of the peak horsepower/torque range between shifts, but the 1200C is for street use.

I don't take the bike up to 6,000 RPM that often, but even so, there isn't any point in running at a higher RPM as I wouldn't be gaining any additional power.
