Ok, I emailed the guy and he responded.  Here's what I asked him:

"The mods you did to your bike would give it maybe an extra 5hp. Why do you think it has 80+ now? Did you get it dynoed? Thanks, Dom"


And here's what he said;

"I got over 10 hp just from the new carbs and the pipe. The advancer,
the jet kit, filter, and sprocket added at least another 10 to the
rear wheels.  That's not including the larger pistons with the rebuild.
I had the ft pounds calcluated by the tech that did the work.
Dynoed? no. He measured the torque. Rear wheel torque roughly equalled
that of a 77 - 84hp motor.
hope this helps,
mike"

What should I say in my reply?   :lol:

tell him about bobs bike and that its only pushing 75hp with a lot more work

I'd like to know how a sprocket change helped add horsepower. I mean, neglecting changes in tangential acceleration and minute surface frictional variations there won't be a HP change. Torque, yes, but since revs change, HP stays the same. Like a guy I knew who said he had a van that would turn 8 second quarter times. A family van at that. Love the scooter and the foru.

C.......

roughly equaled heh,  well since you ride around on 50% of a liter bike, and since it only has one front disc, which is half of a supersport, you have roughly the same power to braking ratio as a gsxr1000 so riding his gs will be a step down from your "roughly equal" half liter.

What the hell are GS rims an upgrade for?!

RZ350, SRX-6

converting from 16 or 18 inch rims for better rubber selection....

actually lightening your rotating mass, whatever kind of mas its called, with a lighter sprocket and going from say a 525 chain and sprocket to a 520 would reduce the mass, and the less mass an engine has to move to get its power to the ground, the mo power it creates, race teams lighten engine componentry and sprockets and chains for this reason, thats why race bike engines weigh up to 30 lbs less than stock, and make so much more power, its pretty simple, now on such a low power application, the difference would be less noticable, but that guys still not too well informed about bike stuff so who knows if he even got a lighter sprocket and chain, hahahaha

no cd, thats not right..

Lighter driveline components will not make the motor produce more power. What it will do is increase the amount of power that gets to the rear wheel, and allow the motor to spin up quicker.. but the power the engine makes will be the same, as measure at the crank.

it takes less power to move less weight, so at a given potential power more get to the road if you lighten shaZam!, its more efficient, i meant it your way, my bad
