Frequently
asked Dynamometer (Dyno) questions:
Q:
Aren't dyno sessions for
racers or those who are horsepower-crazed?
A: Not at all! While the dyno has gotten a bad rap in the
past as strictly a horsepower measuring device, Dynojet's
"cutting-edge" load-cell air/fuel type dyno has become the
proper tuning tool for all bikes to provide crisp throttle
response, and superb driveability.
Q:
What can a dyno show me?
A: A dyno run will show you how important your bike's
Air/Fuel ratio is as to how well it runs (How rich or lean
your bike is running). Of course it will also show you how
much horsepower and torque your bike develops and at what
RPM.
Q:
Why is the air/fuel ratio so
important?
A: Your engine is essentially an "air pump". Ideal and
theoretical numbers are derived for your bike for it to run
it's best. If your bike is running too lean or rich, you
will be able to catch it early before your motor suffers
catastrophic and costly motor damage.
Q:
Will running a bike on a
dyno damage my bike?
A: No. Running a bike (and tyre) on a dyno is no harder on a
bike than riding it on the road. If something is wrong with
your bike, it is safer and easier to diagnose on the Dyno.
Q:
Will my bike overheat on the
dyno?
A: No. The Superbike Performance Dynojet Dyno boasts an
extremely well force-ventilated space, and high-powered fans
to keep your bike cool. We also monitor your bikes engine
temp critically.
Q:
How can a dyno session
improve my bike?
A: A diagnostic session of three "pulls", showing most
importantly an air/fuel readout, will allow Superbike
Performance to show you critical areas in which to improve
your power delivery.
Q:
How does Superbike
Performance maximize the fuelling of a modern fuel-injected
bike?A: We specialize in building custom fuel maps for your bike
using a "state of the art" Dynojet 250i dynamometer and
latest fuel injection module (Power Commander IIIusb)
utilizing "Tuning Link" (computer automated correction)
software. This combination offers you precise computer
generated/corrected fuel metering (in real time) to produce
smooth, linear engine performance.
