Title: ATV Dyno in Central Florida Post by: XFactor on January 05, 2009, 02:51:08 PM My neighbor is one of the VP's for a performance company in the Sanford, Florida area. We spoke and he told me he has access to an ATV dyno. The catch is it is in Utah now. He told me that if there is enough interest to warrant shipping costs and the initial set up they would be more than happy to bring it down. The fees for its usage will be reasonable and all of that will be worked out by he and I.
I know there is not a dyno for ATV's anywhere in this area so I thought I would post and see what kind of interest is generated. Please post and let me know if you would be interested. If there is enough interest we can have this thing down here, up and running very soon!

Title: Re: ATV Dyno in Central Florida Post by: XFactor on January 07, 2009, 07:36:00 AM Why do you need to dyno your atv just go race it I use it to properly tune the carbs and the clutch. I want the most power on the grund at a certain time. Tuning a clutch is a big deal in mud racing.

Title: Re: ATV Dyno in Central Florida Post by: hellrazr on January 08, 2009, 06:58:19 PM an atv properly tuned on a dyno came gain 2-3 more horsepower, have a better powerband, and more snap to the throttle. Then you go race it ;)

Then you go race it ;) Thank you well said! 8) I'm not making any money on this deal. It is not my machine. However I would like to see one in our area where it doesn't cost the same amount in fuel to get there as the dyno fees. If no one has interest this will go away and I will forget about it. I am just trying to see if I can help some people out. ;) X Title: Re: ATV Dyno in Central Florida Post by: backinsaddle on January 08, 2009, 07:37:26 PM question for you guys. how do you tune the carbs and clutches separately on a dyno? do you have a separate crank and wheel dyno? or some kind of exhaust air/fuel or temp meter?
Title: Re: ATV Dyno in Central Florida Post by: XFactor on January 08, 2009, 09:57:03 PM A lot of people use the LM1 with bungs welded to the exhaust to the readings. You get your air/fuel ratio there. you also watch the dyno graph and see where the hp and torque start to drop off at a certain speed. From there you can tune the clutch with different springs and weights for optimal hp through out the power band avoiding the shift out. I hope I explained it well enough. There is a lot that goes into tuning a bike.
