That looks really good Martin. Much more linear than before, and the common 3XV dip near the top is effectively gone. That tallies with how it felt to ride, too. On stock bikes you can feel the power drop/flatten off near the top before giving a little more at the very top on most (for some reason they don't all do this though - effectively giving a low RPM peak (about 9.5k) and then a drop off like the -70 CDI one above)
It's a bit of a shame the dyno place doesn't measure from the wheel though as that would make it more directly compararable with others. However it must still be quite a bit over 50 at the wheel, isn't it? (I don't know what the drive-train losses are). The Stevens tune, freshen up and the carb fettling have certainly improved it tho', so they were worth the work/money I'd say.
It's a Very nice 3XV curve indeed. How are they taking the feed for the revs, tho? Either they are doing it wrong or there is more in waiting, as they will usually peak around a true 11k (or a little over) - yours is showing peak at just over 10 .
For me this kind of thing is really adding fuel to the idea that the 3XV-00 CDI is just not 'restricted' in the way we have long thought. Excellent work, Martin. When do you want to meet up so that we can do a better back to back comparison? It could provide useful development data, I'd think. Mine was only giving 46 on the Dyna-pro dyno, but I think it would read a bit higher on a non dyna-pro rig.
Of course this means that you have to get it on the track now! Trust me, you would waste an R6/GSXR etc. unless they had a very good jocky on board - they were literally getting in my way up on Anglesey at the w/end - and I have very minimal track experience and very little natural aptitude (I'm keen, mind ) so it was more the bike's doing than mine. I might be doing another one at Llandow in Sept' if you fancy it?
