I don`t know where it is, but it`s about 10 years old and badly in need of updating...!

i think thats the one.

rick its just for a rough guide to bhp

reson being i cant get in contact with the guy who knows whats inside my race bike,
APPARENTLY it has HRC this and HRC that.
i have not had it on the dyno yet as i was waiting to talk to this guy.

fed up waiting i've thought f##k it, i'll put it on the dyno and see what she's putting out.
then i should get a rough idea whats done to the engine.

running an eye over the bike, it has:-
HRC exhaust
HRC carbs (well short velocity stacks at least)
also sounds like the quietening gears have been removed

the rest of the bike looks standard to me.

matt its morris_haggerty@hotmail.com

thanks. mo.

Isn't it the tech tips bit on http://www.nc30club.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ? I thought it used to say by Mr R.O. at the end but seems like they've just copied it as their own?

thats a different one.

what im looking for is a rough tunning/bhp guide
i.e.

standard motor = 1bhp

full exhaust system + hrc carb set up = 2bhp

system+carbs=gasflow=3bhp



i know no two bikes will be the same and there are many factors that will contribute to the outcome
