Hi guys,
I'm no tuning expert but having done some very simple mods I wanted to check that my 98 TBS was running OK and a few quid spent on a dyno run seemed cheaper than engine surgery. Or maybe I'm just paranoid after holing a piston on a T150V years ago 'cos I ran it too lean...
All I did was fit a K&N filter in the stock unmodified airbox, fit TORs, clean the pilots and set to 2.5 turns and balance the carbs. I'm much happier with the throttle response, the low end torque has improved noticeably and the sound is how it should be
The dyno guy was very helpful and said that the fuelling was fine. Numbers were 74 bhp and 52.6 ftlb -see attached. I realise that this is tame compared with what some of the experts have achieved but the bike is great to ride fast or slow and suits my riding style. I hope this is of use to other forum members looking for dyno results in close to stock condition.
Ride safe and have fun!
