I recently put the 12 airbox, drummer, race ecm, and K&N filter on my bike. Got the bike on a dyno yesterday and it only dynoed at 73.4hp. He did three pulls and it was the same each time. He did it for free and didn't do the torque, but I expected more. Any ideas? | ||

What were the numbers before all of the mods? You may have picked up 10HP but if you did not do a baseline run you will never know. | ||

What kind of dyno? | ||
| Moboy516 |
The guy that did the dyno, the dealership owner, said he dynoed it before I bought it and it dynoed at 78 stock. I don't think that was right, but I do know that it is way stronger now. Regular dyno at a harley dealership. | ||

Are you sure he ran it to bikes redline? A lot of dyno guys are used to not running buells past 6500rpm. Also when looking at the tach on an XB9R it is not real clear where the redine is. | ||

If it's way stronger... I wouldn't worry. | ||

Moby you would really need a baseline run to know for sure. Plus I had a guy drive down from virgina one day that had the drummer. He had the same thing. well I ask if the bike had been warmed up before the pulls. he said no. so we took it back to the dyno and warmed it up did a couple pulls in 4th gear and then a few in 5th and it consitanly came to 80 or 81 hp. also remember if you have a baseline from different days it can vary. I have seen it vary as much •••• hp on the same day as the weather changed. but without a baseline its like dave said....every dyno reads different. If it feels strong ride it out | ||

LOL...those red dots in my post are, in order, a dash, space, dollar sign, and the number five. I cannot for the life of me figure out how that's obscene in any way. | ||

I dyno'd my '03 GS at Vallejo HD/Buell on Monday as part of the BRAG "No Win'n". 79 rwhp and 71 lb/ft torque. Completely stock.  | ||

Yeah, I'm with you. I must have a weak XB, because when I had it on the dyno it was only showing 70hp(max)!  Does anyone know what the heck is going on??!! I have the XB12 airbox, race ecm, k&n air filter, D&D slip-on, snorkle removed, and the TPS has been reset. Don't blame it on the D&D. It read only 73hp(max) with the Buell race muffler on the dyno (same day). Any ideas? I don't know what's wrong. I'm sad....make me feel better? edited by buellny on May 06, 2004 | ||

Is it fun? Then quit complaining! Most likely there is NOTHING wrong and you're putting too much stock in a very fallible process. If it really bothers you, try going to a couple different dynos - some read high, some low, blah, blah, blah. FWIW, mine's read anywhere from 78HP to nearly 83HP, and 59FT/LBS - 66FT/LBS of torque, all on the same dyno run by the same technician. | ||

Who cares, if it sounds and feels good let it be.If we were looking for higher HP we would all buy Jap sportbikes but there is a reason we buy and ride Buell. Think about it | ||

i think thats what they are. dyno tuned, mine is now 78.9 so if nallin/force adds 10-12 you do the math to see what they really are stock | ||

I thought this is a site for fellow Buell owners to ask questions about things that they don't know and others, who are Buell intelligent, could shed some light? I wasn't complaining at all. Maybe the lighthearted way I expressed my concern was wrong? I was just concerned that people are posting stock hp in the 80s while I was barely in the 70s. I thought that maybe something could be wrong and was asking for help. Trust me, I DID NOT buy this bike to throttle wheelies at 60mph and go from stop light to stop light in 1 second flat. For some reason I was excited to log back on here to see suggestions. I know that some members on this site know their stuff. Oh well, no harm no foul. | ||

I think you'll be hard pressed to find a 9 with stock power in the 80s, and I wasn't trying to be insulting. I never got mine dynoed stock, only with the kit, but most people with stock 9s get low to mid 70s. Again, placing too much faith in dynos is a bad idea. If you are truly worried that there is something 'wrong' with your bike (and I say again, I doubt it), then go demo a stock one, wring it out, then hop back on yours and do the same. See which one feels stronger. | ||

Good idea Darthane.  | ||
| Buellny |
You're probably right. It feels really strong to me. I was kind of blowing off my dyno numbers until I saw this post. I'm not going to hold much faith in them. Sometimes it's better to just not know. | ||

Mine was not warm at all. It had been sitting for an hour. I'm not too worried about it, just wanted some thoughts. |
