Going DEEP On The Dyno | SRAD Restoration

The SRAD is back on the road! And after some teething problems at Cadwell Park, it's back to JHS Racing for some dyno time...

​@tokyosmash I currently own a TL1000R I keep toying with getting something new but I'm not sure.

[@Ktmzqw]

I had an OG green TLS which was problem after problem, but by god did i love that thing! The most unjapanese japanase bike i´ve ever owned. The R was much better as it sorted much of the problems out. The rear shock, standard steering damper, fueling, etc.

[@gnarshread]

Gotta love that old school tuning.

[@classicraceruk1337]

Old school? Nowhere near old school, carbs, a piece of tubing and lots of jets, slides, needles etc. That’s old school. No electronics in sight. Quick shifter, move your foot faster…..

[@HalfdeadRider]

@@classicraceruk1337 I've done a lot to my Y2k E1 ZX9r, no electronics needed and it's brutal, and I still have no fitted a jet kit 😎 K&N filter an exhaust (original titanium was very heavy due to two cats), iridium plugs +4 degree ignition advancer, shimmed main jet needles, removed the KLEEN air system and crankcase breather from the airbox and joined the two together, screwed out the fuel screws half a turn. No need for a jet kit, but may do so in the future if I keep the bike, had it over three years and love it to bits, but parts are getting so hard to get. Sad as it is one of the most beautiful and brutal bikes ever made, very underrated despite being the first production bike to do the quarter mile in under ten secs, and that was the heavier earlier C model (lots of changes to improve the ZX9r when the E1 was designed), many modern way too expensive superbikes can't do that.

[@classicraceruk1337]

@@HalfdeadRider That’s far too late for me. I am talking about bikes like Manx Nortons upto Triumph 750cc triples. Pre 1975 ones. The ones allowed to race in CRMC meetings before 1987.

@@classicraceruk1337 Still would have been tuned the same ways, no electronics needed.

[@classicraceruk1337]

Great content. I thought that horsepower on SRAD comes with the air pumpt by the speed built up. But James got it all , motorcycle walking bible

[@Ktmzqw]

RAM-AIR. They have airflow, but not ramair airflow. To be fair, that´s never accounted on dynos and the difference isn´t massive. Still there, though, that´s for sure

I owned a first gen FI 750 SRAD. Loved it, i´m so glad i owned one. Wasn´t new, but it was decently taken care of and decently worked. Fabulous. The SRAD and a TL1000 were some of my favourite bikes i´ve owned and i was always an european bike enthusiast

Was that the BHP at the wheel or from the engine? I'm not surprised Fagan had to push hard to get it onto the dyno, didn't give the weight of my 750 SRAD a thought till my mate showed me his similar age R6.

[@davetalton6939]

Going to be a controversial view but I quite like the blue screen…. 😎

[@Kalimerakis]

Why would it run rich if the exhaust flows better? I believe previous owners modified the injectors to make it run better with the yoshi and overdid it.

[@joehunt1980]

My guess is the refettled fuel pump is running slightly higher pressure than previous

[@relaxedsand1760]

the air gets through the engine faster due to the higher flow meaning less fuel is needed for the combustion

[@banquo3051]

Class content

[@stephenmcqueen4029]

Looks like that yoshi box never been used.

[@grungysquash1]

Mine ran a PC 3 - dynoed to 130hp, but had hurky jerky cruising at 60kmh was fine slightly on throttle or off but trying to hold it the dam thing was herky jerky. Anyway, I sold my 97 once it started playing up dash died, then came back figured it was time to sell.

Original hp number was 118 with a horrible can. But with the RS3 Yoshi pipe that he put on, 120.

How much does ram air effect the fueling when on the road compared to a dyno? If its at 13.0 on dyno woudnt it go leaner to maybe 13.5 at high speed when getting more air pushed in?

What is it with people going on about the "blue screen"? It's a 90's bike that's what they did back in the day. I bought a 750 srad ( now on ebay), it came with just the blue screen, I was going to buy a clear one but when cars started swerving out of my way ( I think they must think.... copper! and panic!
