888SP4 vs 748/853 Dyno chart

.
Today I ran an 888SP4 on the dyno, the first of the old school hotties I've run on the new Dynobike dyno. The runs I had on the old dyno, compared to my 888, showed that the SP motors (pre SP5 anyway) really weren't anything flash power wise. So I compared today's bike with the 853 kitted 748's I've done recently. They've been 748 with 853 kits, modified combustion chambers and std ports. Pretty basic. Blue is 888SP4 with 98/102 cam timing and an eprom sort of to suit ("in progress" runs) and red is 748/853 with 111/108 cam timing and eprom to suit.

There is the possibility that the 748's more powerful 1.6M ecu (with offset mapping for cylinder 2) allows it a little more power compared to the P7 running the 888 which only has one map for both cylinders. Plus the 748/853 will have more compression. And slightly smaller ports, which seem to work nicely at this capacity.

The 748/853 is certainly a nicer engine to ride, but 36 degrees less cam duration will do that.

The 851

The 400SS

I bought this 400SS (genuine 93 model Australian delivery! Woo hoo huh.) after seeing it in Ebay for what was possibly an good price. As ever, good was too good to be true. Badly repaired and rusted out fuel tank, badly repainted side panels, lots of km (83,000 of the bastards), etc. You know, the usual. Purchased in October 2012, as of now (Jan 2014) I've nearly finished a major service. The cam timing is done with some of the Madasl adjustable pullies that have been drilled in 4 different settings for easy dyno testing. And I have some 900 headers to try a 40mm dual exhaust set up on it (ala M400). Not a great deal of progress for 15 months, so it's taking on a long term feel. There's an F1 endurance style seat base (more taper at the rear) and front fairing sitting around, which will require frame mods to fit. It's a bit of a mental sticking point as this time. But hey, it's not like I can devalue it much more.

The Mighty KR1S 250

How it looked the rainy night someone came to take it away. Painted all black when I bought it, at some point later I realised i could rub the black off and have much of the original colour scheme underneath. Although the main fairing was originally from a red KR1 I think, and definitely badly repaired more than once, so it stayed black. And the tail panel shown was bought to replace the one I smashed the only time I crashed it and the last time I rode it at a Sandown track day. A sensational little bike, holed pistons and frequently failing stator windings aside. The first bike I rode on a race track and the first bike I had my knee down on. And a great commuter too I found. It's sometimes nice to have a bike that won't wheelie past the city speed limit in first gear.
