161.5 HP, 175 MPH Dyno Run 2008 C14
« on: May 17, 2013, 05:29:16 PM »
Read em and weep gents.. Naturally Aspirated, (with no ram air to help things along) real world numbers on a dyno with nothing to be gained by the operator.  Free run for miltary appreciation day :)  No torque numbers, whadaya expect for free ;)  I did throw the operator a tip, he did way more than a spin up.  Throttle response is as crisp as anything, I even found myself looking for 7th gear as the butt dyno was saying shift 8)
Full AreaP, BMC filter, PCV, Auto tune. 54,700 miles, ZX14 TBs.  175 was in 5th gear.
I'm downloading a Youtube vid as I type, but here is a pic of the printout.

When we were unloading the bike from the dyno we noticed something unexpected, a nail!!  It did 175 multiple times, I will post up a pic shortly, I need to pull the nail and slip one of dem Florida worms in ;)

See how long the power plateau is?  I'd say she needs more air coming in.

Once the vid is done downloading hookup the surround, crank the volume, and put in earplugs!!!! ;D

FWIW, an R6 was much much louder, he managed 86 HP.  The R1200GS hit 86 HP...  Hmmmmm ???

Love it when a potential puncture goes sideways through a tread block!

How the  :censored: :censored: does that happen? 

Oh, nice numbers!   :finger_fing11:

VERY nice C!

The way my rear tire attracts nails, that nail would have somehow punctured my tire twice.

175MPH means nothing since your not pushing through the air.

yup,my c10 did 178 in 5th with a 7th gear upgrade.
My c14 is @ 161.3hp with a very similar setup.

Kinda agree, I was more interested in how a nail stayed in at that speed and the potential for how much speed she has.  Being as it was a static test there was no benefit from ram air, which is a fair amount of added power.

You have the ZX14 TBs?  I'm wondering how to free up more incoming air and maybe velocity stacks to help smooth out the power curve, which isn't bad, but that big plateau needs attention :o

I had internet issues last night so the vid didn't get loaded, I'll try again today.

The Wikipedia entry claims 4.7hp for the C14 ram air, which sounds reasonable.  That is 3% of the stock peak power....  people can debate if that is a "fair amount" of added power or not :)   I will say that no human would ever notice that difference.

Crank the volume!!  FWIW, if you google Fastest color, C14, and Youtube you will have your answer ;D

He was tweaking things, most of the bikes were on and off fairly quickly, but then again the "performance" mods for them was a slip on ;)  He was having fun and the Duc guy, well, he was smiling as well.

Sometime this week I will save a copy of the MAP for those who need/want it.  I haven't had a chance to run her up yet, but I can say the dead/flat spot at 3k is gone and the throttle snap is instant.

Sometime soon I will take it in for a full comprehensive dyno run, I really would like to see the torque values coupled with RPMs.

I'd also like to ride a stock bike, do a swap with another Gen1 owner for a few miles to get a current feel for the mods.  Considering that the stock RWHP is in the 130s adding 25+/- RWHP on a naturally aspirated bike is something to be happy with ;D  And seeing as how I still average 42ish MPG?  Remarkable to say the least.

The 158, is that the stock, before mods power reading?
Unfortunately no, that is with TwoBros system but without mapping done and without the flies removed - though it does match Kawasaki Australia's stock claim of 118kw/158hp

Doesn't say specifically:

But our fuel is typically higher octane than what you guys get (so I am led to believe) which I am sure also helps  :)
