Rene EFE Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I have had an 1127L motor on the shelf for many years. I binned the bike it was in and ended up selling the rolling chassis. I kept it, because it made a rather silly 160Bhp on the dyno during a shootout. I didn’t know what had been done to it, nor did the previous 2 owners. It had stock carbs, airbox, the proper Yoshi Duplex exhaust but no other give aways to where the power came from. We recently took the engine apart @Kid Kearsley’s place and still didn’t find anything interesting. Can this power just have come from blueprinting, mild headwork and very good carb setup?

Rene EFE Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 It was a proper competition; amongst others, a RSV-R made 135, 2 R1’s made a good 140 and the shop’s ZX10 superbike made 189, which all sound about right for the time. Quote Link to comment
Rene EFE Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 And a powerscreen made 125 before I went on. Quote Link to comment
Rene EFE Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 Also, it really was faster than a “normal” 1100 gsxr Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 If it is just a 'blue print,' it's a bloody good one , 15-20% over factory is a good target - yours is that + a few %. You sure it's not been bored? Quote Link to comment

What sort of Dyno was it? The numbers sound high to me. I don't recall rsvrs making that much & early carbed r1s didn't make 140's either. Unless they were at the crank which is usually a theoretical number open to manipulation. 2 Quote Link to comment
Foz Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 My mates rsv tuono after being set up on slick bass's dyno with a power commander etc made 118 bhp which given its the same engine as the Mille would lead me to believe you've got a very optimistic dyno. 160 bhp usually involves a 1216 at the least Quote Link to comment
Guest YoshiJohnny Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) most bikes that go to Slick come back making less than they did when they went... Tenkate let him go after a few days when he went to work for them after Foggy packed in... I used to get 128 bhp at the wheel from a standard RSV/Mille with cans and a power commander Edited July 5, 2018 by YoshiJohnny Quote Link to comment
Rene EFE Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 My thoughts exactly. Anyway, we had the bottom casing off and found stock rods and pistons. I'll whip the camcover off in a while to see if I find something interesting there. Quote Link to comment
markfoggy Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I really hope that there is a note in there saying, 'Oh No Not Again!' 1 Quote Link to comment

Sounds like the dyno had been put on "pub bragging" correction. All those figures sound way way above what you would expect to see. Quote Link to comment
