93.1bhp

I took my bike to Steve Jordan Motorcycles for Steve to fit the manual cam chain tensioner and get the bike run in, then the carbs setup.

Steve showed me how to set the chain tension for the cct, then balanced the carbs.  It was then heat cycled on the dyno followed by a carb check/setup. The bike was running a bit rich  and needed slightly smaller mains which got me 93.1bhp.  It's still a little rich, but I'd rather play it safe and anyway it should balance out when on track, especially as it was so hot today.  It should get a bit more power once it's been on track and run in, maybe 95bhp, so we should be looking at about 94hp on the circuit dyno, which is about right for my expected weight of 170kg.  Now I need to just finish the bike off ready for the track, including fitting the quick-shifter and setting up the suspension (well the sag.)

I never put this in the blog (in case i turned out to be miles off), but i'd been asked a few times, so guessed my bike would have about 92bhp so i'm quite chuffed it's a bit better.  So i'll now be a bit braver and take a public stab at the weight,  I'll go for 172kg
