Hello! From grand rapids michigan

Brock Davidson has a vid with a comparison of two bikes the same model, both new, one broken in on his own dyno, doing it 'his way', the other was a customer's bike that he (the customer) broke in his own way out on the road, they then dynoed them both back to back . . guess what?
Brock's bike had noticeably more rwhp.
Brock swears his dyno break in procedure is the best method for extracting more ponies from any given motor. The reality is that to the best of my knowledge every performance motorcycle engine is already run-up at the factory.
Who knows? He may be on to something there. May be all BS. Dunno.
Sorry but cannot remember the model or manufacturer of the bike, it was months ago I watched this on youtube and I've watched sooooo many vids now, I lose track.

Theres no way I'd want a fresh motor ran to redline.

I would! I don't know how much difference it makes but if it eaks out a couple more hp, it's worth it even if the engine doesn't last as long. I redlined my busa three times the first time I rode it and after that, I ran it as hard as I could on the road gradually settling in over about a thousand miles to normal street rpm. It's 10 years old and running great. Only 16k miles but no problems so far. I broke my other bike in by the book and it had barely in spec compression at 49,000 miles. Who knows? It's like what oil to use, go with what gives you peace of mind.

can you imagine the logistics to run every engine thats built on a dyno ? Would need a second , bigger, factory ..

I'm sure dyno testing every bike would require very little space and time compared to the space and time required to build every bike. But an extra ten minutes to dyno each bike would add up to huge sum of money. If it were necessary, they could do it but if it's not necessary, they'd avoid the expense.

Welcome to the org. You ever take that thing to the track or is it a parking lot magnet?

A couple of the big racers say like 10 heat cycles then let her rip tater chip.

No bike enters a dealership with a dyno sheet this is a fact

I think what @Jaguarcat311 was saying as far as the build sheet numbers in that post is what @Mythos was talking about with dyno sheets at the dealers but I could be wrong.

IDK, if the hp is listed on the title is a general figure for all bikes of that make/model/year or it's specific to that exact motorcycle which means they must have dynoed it.

Welcome to the forum.

I'm pretty close to Grand Rapids and grew up in GR.
What Dealership do you work for?

Yeah the certificate of origin stated horsepower, but gave no explanation of how it was measured it. I imagine they have to test every engine though. Mine stated 194.4, then my base dyno pull with Brock's ct dual and the really expensive sprint filter they sell was 199.7 and then final pull after flashing the ECU, advancing timing and correcting all the fuel trims was 212.2 (and 122.9 ft lb torque)
Would have been cool to dyno it right after break in bone stock and see what that said, torque especially, motorcycle manufacturers don't seem to like to list torque specs.
Anyone else lusting after the 2022 Hayabusa? Looks pretty awesome for what I'm into. I did get launch control and quick shifting (up only) with the ECU flash, but wheelie control would be pretty awesome, as well as cruise control for my longer sport touring rides
