Well Jorge at Renegade has already posted elsewhere here regarding the fun we had on the Dyno yesterday.
First, the good news is that the SV is producing quite a bit more power than I thought it would! Figures of around 100 hp at the wheel seem unfounded.
The first run of the completely stock bike produced figures of 119 at the crank and 109 at the wheel which is almost exactly in line with Suzuki's figures.
Next Jorge stuck on a pair of Renegade carbon slip-ons.
Contrary to my fears of losing a lot of power in the mid-range I was pleasantly surprised. We gained about 2 hp up to about 6k, then lost about 1 hp in the mid-range up to about 8k and then gained another 2 at the top end. So we had pretty comparable figures without any remapping whatsoever.
With just the slip-ons we got about 121 at the crank and 110 at the wheel. Not a spectacular increase but this without any remapping don't forget - and the sound is just awesome - I was a gibbering wreck riding home!! :D Woohee!!!!!
Finally Jorge did some additional tweaking which I can't reveal too much about at the moment.
Suffice to say that we got 127 at the crank and 116 at the wheel!!!!! Oh my God!! Jorge is confident that his finished mods will also give this improvement once testing is complete (and this is without any changes to the engine).
Attached is the dyno chart for figures at the wheel comparing the stock SV against one with Renegade slip-ons and the extra 'stuff'. Just look at the difference between the red and blue lines!!!!!
