thanks for the info. i don't think ill be messing with power valve cause i'm just trying to hold on. previous owner told me that my bike was 95 horsepower and could go over100mph. this is my first bike/atv, so learning on this beast is scary. barely hit the gas and your doing wheelies?Im scared to hit the gas because of that. i just need way more hours, but cant register trailer or quad without titles. hey, do you own a registered garage? maybe you could help if you do. the dmv actually told me to find a registered garage and do a leinholders title reissuance, then pay them to get them 'sold' back to me.....sad that government wants to control everything, but doesnt know how to deal wth anything out of their parameters. anyways, im a professional not a car theif, so this shady idea presented by the dmv lady actually would work. i wonder if she even realized that what she saying was the secret car thief formula.
A stock of the show room floor LT500R will make around 50 hp to the rear wheels on my dyno.
The formula for horsepower is:
HP = (Torque x RPM) / 5252
Torque and RPM were on most of the graphs. On one of the graphs peak Torque of 57 ft.-lbs occurred ad 6500 RPM.
Example:
(57 x 6500) / 5252 = 70.5 hp
This engine was not stock..... It had a big carb, head work, porting, and intake system and a HPR 19 exhaust system.
The sag or small dip in the power curve between 6500 and 7500 RPM after the power valve was properly adjusted, was due to the intake system's tuned length and porting not being right
