Nah, don't sweat it friend. Not your fault that there is so much vaginal dryness on this forum. Glad you like your results, now get out and ride!

OK, I'm off the short bus now.... NEXT!
There is nothing to question, all numbers match 100%

Thanks, gues I was right! The guy got a great tune and the graph is not suspect at all

The numbers match, I think what is confusing everyone is you are expecting to see Max HP and Max Torque numbers, but what is posted on the bottom of the chart is the HP reading at Max Torque only, nowhere, other than the graph is Max HP shown and it simply has to be read from the graph, the dyno chart is correct and not suspect at all......

Glad it worked out your heat issues for you as well, that was a wise choice to get it checked........

Let me be more clear, Max HP and Max Torque for his before and after results are printed at the bottom left, but shown in the center area of the chart with the vertical line are the HP readings at Max Torque --- you do not develop Max Torque at Max HP and this clearly reflects that as well.......

Come on the Tq & HP lines don't even cross at the correct RPM and each side shows different numbers for the same line? I get that they are Tq and HP but it is very confusing and misleading. Sure I can figure it out but it sure isn't normal. Also has a narrow Tq curve. But if the OP is happy. Its all kool!

i'm no expert but most of the dyno charts I've seen cross somewhere at or around 5200 or so RPM's. this one looks odd. Maybe i'm confused.

It just looks different than most graphs because the scales for HP and TQ are different. If the scales were the same on each side HP and Tq would cross at 5252 and everyone (well most) would be happy. Looks like a nice running bike.

The problem with the chart is that the HP and TQ are not on the same scale. The RPM isn't right where the TQ and HP cross because they are on different scales.

Here is my concern, the max tq is typed in at the highest point in the curve, and labeled 110.65 but if you reference that point to the numbers on the left side of the graph, that point would be around 95. Not a big deal, but look how low the numbers are at 2500... they are in the 50's. and the tq curve is like on and off. I bet this bike runs better than the chart indicates. It's confusing at best...

And to add to the mess, I've seldom seen a chart where hp and tq do not cross around 5250 rpm. Hp is actually a calculated number in the computer program therefore it's usually at 5250
