Oi,Jotaman, Never mind about the welcoming party, where is my money

Well, My bike got dynoed again, definately not short on power .

I'm not sure what was done to it if anything but it is flying now. I got 110mph in 3rd, 140mph in 4th at 10,000rpms, I kept the throttle on and it went to 142mph. I ran out of road so I didn't get a chance to try 5th but I fancy I would easily be able to beat my measly 143mph, 151 wind assisted. I want to see the speedo actually read 160 at least before I have a

Thanks Rene boys and girl !!

See Jorge? I told you putting some methanol in Mr_Venjer's tank would work.

Mr_Venjer, don't watch the speedo please. Don't even watch the rev counter. Set your rev light at whatever revs your bike produces max power (look at yer dyno chart) and change gear when it lights up. If you can get the light to come on in sixth gear, keep the throttle open and you will reach worp speed if you have enough room.
When you get home, check Vmax. A lot safer than trying to look while you're watching the road.

Stating the bleedin' obvious here I know but what can you do?

So does this mean you can stamp the book?

Voila - et cette biere la...  

By Befbever on Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 07:47 am:

The warranty book? You need official Aprilia dealers to do that. Not that it makes a lot of difference eh Scotty?

 

By Scotty on Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 09:33 am:

Exactly Bef - Doesn't make much difference at all now!

By Oldgit on Monday, October 14, 2002 - 04:37 am:

Ok, I only asked, thought maybe they had swung a deal with Aprilia. 

By Powermaster on Monday, October 14, 2002 - 04:43 am:

Not yet,but I am trying. Maybe a few letters from your to the Boss may do the trick
