Re: air fuel ratio on the dyno

Drivel and its like that is it! Thats too selective of what I have posted, concessions have been given to experienced dyno operators and to you personally from your explanation of how you set up. That is just a pad out of what we agree on on anyway; as I have stated I still use dynos! I could conclu...

Re: air fuel ratio on the dyno

Find it bemusing that these long winded posts as to whether the AFR reading on your dynos is an accurate reflection of what goes bang in the barrels you place on them!? Clogging up the sensor, thats not even the same subject Last post because talking to brick walls is a waste of time. If you went t...

Re: air fuel ratio on the dyno

When you add 2 + 2 and come up with 5 you are inncurate. If you then add another 2 and come up with 7, you've convinced yourself correct because your working on an earlier flawed basis. Thats my point and hence the earlier statement about setting up rich to compensate. Find it bemusing that these lo...

Re: air fuel ratio on the dyno

I did wonder when the responses would come in and quite typically from those who have been watching and own or have part shares in dynos! :) PMSL. I'd like to make myself fairly clear if I can; dynos have a purpose and that is why I use them and others market them. The 2nd before last dyno I went to...

Re: air fuel ratio on the dyno

There's too much to quote there Al and I won't give a biography as you did but in terms of what I've 'read', lets just say i have another 4 road goers as well as the one I race. I'm not having a pop at you either, nor dyno's in general as I think they serve certain purposes. If someone has the incli...

Re: air fuel ratio on the dyno

For al. Thanks for the long reply! Right.. you have missed or misinterpreted my point. All wind resistance, weight on bike or whatever does ,is load a motor...You are behind the lorry... you are at 1/4 throttle or whatever... you pull out and the wind causes massive drag... so what are you doing to...

Re: air fuel ratio on the dyno

That was hard work Tony :), but I think I do the same, road set up first then dyno to see power/torque changes after whatever you've done differently. I gave up on AF/ignition set up on dyno as I always had to change in real conditions. Ended my season on an on the edge lean plug colour, went to dyn...

Re: air fuel ratio on the dyno

Certainly agree that some operators are better than others and thats why I go to dyno to see what its doing at different revs, hp etc. Wanted to ask then opinion on this re A/F as a couple of years ago I bought an NGK AFX monitor, never used it but still have it; got the instructions in front of me ...

Re: air fuel ratio on the dyno

I've been to various dyno where they've been way out under load. I wasn't trying to lead but do you agree the bike should be road set up first and then tweaked slightly under dyno, given the road experience?
