two firestorms went on the dyno today
My black one made 110.9 bhp
and a red one made 99 bhp
mine has 39000 miles on the clock and the red one had 13000 mile on it, so as I said before " Black is best"
both have sexy cans, I have no idea what else has been done to mine, mine does cough and spit back through the carbs, although I kind of like it, ITS A BIT OF AN ANIMAL.

one thing I did find was while my bike was on the rollers if you rev it hard ( like popping a wheelie or hard acceleration) before releasing the clutch, the clutch would grab really hard , is this a sign the clutch is on its way out.....

no that a grabby clutch . the powers that be are working on a cure
if you was to wack the throttle wide open and the bike did not go any faster then your clutch is n its last legs

thanks, just been reading the post about the snatching clutch
I have had this happen a couple of times on the road, I only got the bike a week ago, but if you give it the berries away from the line its like your fingers slip off the lever....... I hope they find a cure soon
