It's got a lightened flywheel, I don't know if that effects RR read outs?

The only way to lose transmission loss is to for straight cut gears in the box but they're well expensive!!!!

They estimated the flywheel power so there was no run down to calculate the actual losses.

Never met anyone who was happy with their rolling road results.

Was there any other mk11's there to compare your results with.

Wheel horsepower is a better comparison because flywheel horsepower will only ever be a calculation based on a guess.

I thought Storms rolling road was renowned for being over optimistic so my guess of 78 whp is probably about right  :evil:

There was a guy with an ABF'd MKII on K-Jet that pulled 155 @ the fly.

I'm not that unhappy, I know it's not set up at all properly. I'm not even sure the vernier pulley on the cam is set right. Need to spend some ££££'s and get a full set up session. Mark's trying to drag me up to Stealth in a couple of weeks, I'll have to see what the money situation is like.

Wow found this all the way down on page 4! Tbh I haven't even started it in over 2 months, the battery is as flat as Kiera Knighley's chest, it's full of water and it's filthy dirty.

Still, need to pull my finger out and get it running, dry, serviced and cleaned as my folks have splashed out on RR setup session for my birthday @ Owen Developements. http://www.owendevelopments.co.uk/

Very funny :grin:

It's more to do with working shifts making it not very nice for my neighbours if I fire up the beast at 6am to take it to work! The bad weather for the last couple of months haven't helped. It was buried under a mound of snow for 2 weeks!
