Curious as the how you are figuring you are getting 90 hp and 85 ft lbs of torque?

Stock specs are 86HP and 79ft-lbs. Intake and exhaust should add a few ponies to the total, so I'm ball-parking. If you have more accurate numbers, let me know.

Those are the stock specs you are correct but just understand those are rated at the crank not the rear wheel. You typically lose about 15 hp by the time it gets to the wheel.

When folks post power figures they typically are at the rear wheel. I just don't want to see you get in trouble for posting numbers without the facts to back them up.

For comparison's sake, my Thunderstorm spec'd S2 with Mikuni, exhaust, and air cleaner put down 84 RWHP and 80 ft/lbs, and that was after dyno tuning.

I wasn't aware that while new bikes always list crank HP, used bikes have to list rear wheel HP. Seems like a pretty odd requirement...

I'll specify crank in the ad though. Thanks.

It is not a requirement per se but when you post a dyno number that is rear wheel power. Like I said not trying to bust your chops just making sure you don't piss off a potential buyer who is thinking those numbers are dyno numbers.

No problem- I clarified in the CL ad. I always thought "HP" numbers were at the crank by default (as not many people dyno their vehicles) while "WHP" was used to specify otherwise. I guess some chap could think I was using "BHP" numbers too...
