wheelsucker Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 So after installing a Mistral x-over and FBF carbon cans I was having some sputtering problems and dealer installed a K&N air filter. SO I got a custom map done for my PC3, low and behold I made about 73.5 HP. Let me tell you, this is the most powerful and fun 73.5 hp ever. I was guessing I was making about 85-90 hp, but whatever. This is the most fun bike ever, even though I refer to it as a "pig of a bike" sometimes. A friend said it sounds like a small block Chevy and in his words "the sweetest sounding motorcycle he's ever heard," especially when decellerating. And in regards to the bike, I think I need to upgrade the suspension because I'm now pushing this bike in the corners. I have absolutely no chicken strips on the tires and scared myself this weekend by how far I was leaning over in order to keep up with a buddy riding an SV650. On the upside, I and the buddy on the SV650 were running away from our buddy on a Duc 620 monster who both had previously left me in the dust; and yes we would wait for him, this was a semi-aggressive ride, not a race.
dlaing Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 Do you have the dyno graph so we can see that phat mid-range?! PS Don't go grinding and catching the side stand, now....get that suspension sprung right.
antonio carroccio Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 I would not disturb your happiness, but 73,5 horse power is surely not enough. Got to go back and have a better run. <_>
gstallons Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 Are you using a dyno to arrive at these "hp" figures?
Desdinova Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 Realizing that Dyno results vary, and runs vary based on Temperature and other atmospherics... that does seem a bit low. I have a Stucci crossover with FBF CF Cans, PCIII and open airbox with K&N and getting 82.37 max hp - 67.18 max torque. http://www.baronaudio.com/lemans/
callison Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 The 2009 HD specs are out and except for the HD 1200 and the V-Rod, not a one of them lists more than 67 HP.
Skeeve Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 So after installing a Mistral x-over and FBF carbon cans I was having some sputtering problems and dealer installed a K&N air filter. SO I got a custom map done for my PC3, low and behold I made about 73.5 HP. Let me tell you, this is the most powerful and fun 73.5 hp ever. That does sound low for a V11; that's about what they do stock, before your mods. Do the HP and torque curves cross at 5252 rpm? If not, the score is bogus.
dlaing Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 It is typical for the V11S to not make much high RPM power with the Mistral crossover. Although some have gotten more than 80HP with the Mistral crossover, these articles show the Mistral gives midrange at the expense of top end. http://www.visi.com/~moperfserv/mgv11ex.htm http://www.visi.com/~moperfserv/more_mg.htm
wheelsucker Posted July 29, 2008 Author Posted July 29, 2008 Hey all, Here is the Dyno run, there was an "uncorrected" run that made about 1/2 hp less but here is the "corrected" final run. As far as power goes, its got power through the whole band so I'm very happy with the results and feel it was worth the money.
savagehenry Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 .. so I'm very happy with the results and feel it was worth the money. Ahhh, the ONLY one who NEEDS to be happy in this...SUCCESS! PROST!!!
dlaing Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 I think this overlay is pretty accurate. Yours in Black. My bike when I had a Quat D in Blue Todd Eagan overlayed it with a Stock V11 in Red. FWIW I swear I had more low end than MY bike when stock, but this does not show that, so whatever...different dynos, different bikes.
