BHP for a standard NC29 ?
Hi All,
I've been told that the standard BHP at the rear wheel for NC29 is 50BHP, is that right

You can check for the specifications of your bike at the link given below... mine is a 91 L model (59bhp , 44KW@12500rpm), the L and N model produced 59bhp, but found the R model was changed to a lower capacity 53bhp, 39.5KW@13000rpm. I don't know the reason.

Ahhh

How do I fix the problem and get more like 59 BHP?
Do I fit carb rubbers from a different model?
Thanks all :) !!

Re: BHP for a standard NC29 ?
when i spoke to graeme he said they were in the carb rubber itself.
should just be glued in, apparently they're just like the 33bhp restrictors?
best thing to do would be is ring him.

Re: BHP for a standard NC29 ?
I have the R model and just have had my carbs apart, I could not see any restrictions in mine but did notice a groove (ledge?) that is presumably for restrictors as I tried some metal ones I had and they fit fine. BTW dont buy the carb rubbers from China on ebay, they dont fit and have a thicker mounting as I found out to my cost.

Re: BHP for a standard NC29 ?
After reading this thread I have dug out the dyno result for my NC29.
68.3bhp @ 12844rpm and 4.3Kgm (stupid metric torque units) @ 10465rpm.
Sounds impressive, but this was done in January 2002 using an obnoxiously loud exhuast
and I'm not so sure if it is that power stat is applicable now, especially with my more village-friendly
end can!
