Do all 8v 1200 griso's have the same HP? I've seen inept rag sheets calling it 90,100,110,109???
'bout the same Horsepower as your 70 Citroen DS21
Just remember to round up when relating the dyno numbers!
See the post above yours. Also calibration is vital, not just the rollers either. There are a host of correction factors available, that means that unless every dyno is using the same tables the figures are going to be rubbery.Note that the figures quoted for bikes tuned and mapped by Mark and myself are always lower than those quoted by assorted magicians on the web. What hopeless losers we must be......
Really? There must be some hiding amongst them hydraulic hoses. I'll have to run out there and check
Perhaps it's best just to adopt the Rolls Royce approach: horsepower: sufficient
Would love to see a pic of the DS21
It's going to be for sale soon. Living in a gated community I don't have the facilities to properly maintain a complex car like this. I wouldn't mind replacing it with a Griso
Hello, Gorgeous!
Back on topic, kinda. Just bought a new Griso (2016) and That bike has a strong rush of power (torque) at 5000 RPMs and above. Had it a week now and it only has about 350 miles, but I believe in loading up the rings during break-in. so I've done quite a few 5000 to 6500 hard pulls in 4th and 5th gear and it pulls strong. As a bench mark I'm comparing it to my FJR, FJ09, and R1200GS I ride all the time. Test rides I have done on an R9T and other similar bike tell me it's torque and rev happy nature make it a very fun machine to ride regardless of the numbers.Of course I still have a lot to do to the bike to make it work right (that the factory should have done) including remapping the atrocious fueling. It literally is terrible at 4000 and under.
For $100 Mark will send you a map that you can't beat. You can try but...
Really Darren, it IS that easy.Just get the map, stuff it in, get some one who knows how to do the TB's, and say goodbye to all the crappy map bulldust.Just do it mate... I've only ridden an 8V once, but it's been Beetled and Ropered, and the motor felt like honey by comparison to my 2V.(Only by comparison, mind you...)
