After spending the day servicing and fitting a few new ignition coils and a power commander, i thought i'd better get the bike set up on a dyno, which then led me to think that maybe we should have a group dyno day? I have been invloved in car clubs that have done this, usually get a power run cheaper if you get a good bunch together, the more you get the cheaper it gets!

Not sure where the best dyno would be, but the only ones I know of are at GT Motorcycles Plymstock, somewhere just outside Exeter IIRC! and theres one just outside Penzance.

Anyone up for this in a few months? let it warm up abit !

wouldnt mind getting my old GPZ on just to see how much power its lost over the years

Yea I'd like to see what the Divvy is putting out after 56k of abuse.

Sounds like a good idea, ill chuck steve at GT Motorcycles in plymouth an email, i would only use GT's for this facility as there guy is a good bloke!!! he has dyno'd and tuned all my bikes so far. ill email them and get back to you all.

plus if u get a few of us ride up from down here, would be a good day out.

hopefully should have my new one by then aswell

Im interested ! Could be a great day out !

My mobile Dynojet dyno is based in Williton near Minehead if anyone is interested. I attend most of the shows and dealer days in the southwest, if people wanted to do a dyno day I'll sort out a deal for everyone on here depending on numbers email me at muttsnuts1@hotmail.co.uk or call 07528 643715, if it's just horsepower/speed/A/F runs etc that people wanted then the maximum number of bikes that I can run in a day is between 25 and 30. Torque takes a little longer depending on type of bike and how easy it is to gain access to HT/coils to take an indctive rpm pick up from. As a rough idea a group of 20 bikes to be run would cost £20 per bike. There is a very good cafe for teas breakfasts etc nearby, and the A358 from Taunton can be a fun road when it's dry.

Anything up to £20 sounds good to me

Well then Jam sounds like he has it all sorted out. and a ride up to minehead would be tip top!!!!

so lets stop mincin about and get it booked shall we!!!

Im offshore now until the 25th Feb and back for 4 weeks so for me anytime in march is good!!??? what about everyone else????

GixerJunkies have got one organised for febuary at GT there are 2 of us from here booked in

dont forget about kenny up at ace motorcycles in bude
