sounds like a plan lloydie.......

Good luck tomorrow mate fingers crossed it will be set up perfect

i doubt it mate, but if its 90% that would be a great starting point......

I would like that to but can't afford it :-(
I will be putting £500 aside over the next few months for a good engine but if I can't find one I will just save up for an other storm with low miles . Swap my bling over and sell this one to recover some of the cost

Tails selling a black one

ok here goes, it's bad news i'm afraid, but tbh this is what i expected, my babys running very poorly indeed. only 88.95bhp at 9663rpm , its running very very lean.
the torque figures were a surprise tho 90.3 nm at 5650rpm
heres the graph


i'm really looking forward to it once its sorted, tbh i think my bikes quick now, once its running right it should be ballistic......
mr dyno man reckons its gonna cost between £200 to £300 to sort it out
i'll be getting it done when i get back from spain towards the end of july.
mr dyno man said the main reason for the bike being so slow was that bloody black petrol tank........

Lean but then goes very rich at the top end. Power curve is not happy above 7000

That must have left you felling a little blue..........

I would take it some where else mate as the storm with your mods will never get 90 torque . Something fishy there mate

i must admit that torque figure doesn't seem correct, the strange thing is the bike rides/pulls fine, even tony rode it and thought it wasn't bad, so its deffo got some grunt but 90nm's hmmmmm i dunno, unless i ride another bike back to back i doubt i'll ever know. what sort of torque figure should i be achieving 70's???
i might still use tonys guy in kent, i'm hoping to pay less than £300 but maybe thats wishful thinking

High 60s low 70s to be honest .
And I would take it to Tony's man.
As he is a proven tester and tuner

Figures in Newton Metres, not Foot Pounds. ft/lbs would be around the 70 mark.

Good point I missed that :-(

here's mine from when it was totally standard, for comparison.

90.3 nm is 66.6 ft lbs. sounds about right for torque.

Mixture isn't awful, as you say, lean near top end but not unexpected with cans and a filter.

Take the printouts to Tony at HM and he'll sort you out, probably in one jet/carb change and one run, the sod.
The scales on your chart are quite fine, exaggerating the differences in stoichiometric ratio.

Here's an old one of mine for reference:

(The address on the top is HM's old address, by the way; they're at Edenbridge now).
