Dimitris Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Hi!! Haw anyone tuned his bike with Dynotec? Or DAS-Mototec? They offer some upgrades for our bikes. They speak for good power (108 hp) and torgue (115 nm).
raz Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 That must be at the crank, right? I don't want to hi-jack your thread but hopefully this is a valid inline question to go with it: Do anyone know the ballpark figures for transmission loss on a V11? If you've got 100 hp at the crank, what could you expect to register on a roller dyno?

Transmission losses are typically about 15%. 100hp at the piston crown should net you about 85hp where the rubber meets the road. Again, this is typical; some bikes are down around 10%, some as much as 20% [some of the shaft driven transverse Japanese fours are in that higher bracket, since the power goes thru two 90deg turns...] In terms of efficiency, a freshly lubed chain drive is best. But tests have shown that chain drive bikes lose their advantage in as few as 20 miles [back in the day, before o-ring chains. Much longer nowadays.]
