SV On The Dyno

Now that Leigh had finally finished building his Suzuki SV650 race bike for this year we needed to get the thing on the dyno to set up the fuelling. After some investigation (to find out the cheapest option, we are from Yorkshire you know) it was decided that a an ECU re-map by Steve Jordan at Steve Jordan Motorcycles was the order of the day. His bikes have won numerous championships with this set up so we were confident of the job he would do. True to form we were not disappointed, on the initial run the bike made 68hp at the rear wheel, not a bad start. Once Steve had worked his magic this had been upped to 71.6hp, this is nigh on perfect as the class has a 72hp limit. Job done. The only down side to the day was getting up at 4:45am to get down to Steve's in good time, but sometimes needs must.
