and don't forget that people are pleased when seeing high figures, or that the improvements have turned out good. My mechanic showed me on my bike the difference between a normally lubed fresh chain, and what difference it made to lube the chain, we gained almost 3 BHP, and the chain was not dry before... That difference would probably satisfy most drivers when shown after 'Dyno adjustments'...

yer.. most road bikes use O-ring chains,, like the 525-530 series. Change to a 515 non-o-ring chain and see how much difference you get

you would be surprised..
Ill give you a hint.. get some scales and measure

If the truth be told I don't need a bleedin' dyno to feel the extra kick in the pants the FCR's have given me ... Power output ought to be re-classified in grin-width multiplied by the number of times you can say "f*ck me it's fast!" in one ride
