Default Question about dyno tuning
I see various dyno sheets from various builders and tuners and I was wondering if there is a standard for which gear the bike is in for these runs? Anyone know?

Usually 5th gear is used but, you may hear some use 6th.

Some of the older dyno's used 4th gear as not to overspin their dyno drum but I have never seen anyone use 6th gear
