so after me and josh get done racing 3 times from a dig and once from a roll we took interstate from there... so im going along and see that jim is aways up there... so i think to myself hmm how about a 180mph flyby... well i was in second gear and just nail the throttle and my back tire spins like crazy and my front tire come up off the ground.. so after riding a 2nd gear wheelie while merging lanes i decide to pull over and calm myself since im not one to ride wheelies... well my engine compartment starts smoking like crazy... so me and josh head to the rest area and wait for a ride and i get back out there a couple hours later to work on it... we took all the fairings off and ran it for 30 min drove it around the parking lot and nothing... ran 100% perfect... so wtf! so we get it all back to gether and got the tools put a way while my bike is idleing... well me and my dumb luck i look over and tell jon that it would be funny if after all that i give it a little rev and if blows up........................... sure as hell did to! as soon as i hit 9 grand coolant flew everywhere... so we took it all apart and found out that on top of my motor there is a coolant line with a bracket on it... well there is a little bold that hold that bracket on and well some how it vibtrated loose so when it got into higher rps it shot coolant every where... so now it about 1:30am and i just got home.. ugh horrible event to happen after owning the 600 and taking the number 1 spot.. lol sorry josh... oh and yes im sure all year is going to be me and you calling each other out... :D well just had to share with everyone my great evening... and thanks josh for the ride to town... and im off to bed

[01F4izzy]

is it fixed at least?

[triumph955i]

shit well that sucks. Sorry to hear about it man. When you going to have it all back together?

[The Reaper]

Twas the Kawi curse. You beat a Kawi so you had to pay ;)

Glad to hear it was nothing major though.

[03yamahar1]

yea its fixed. we fixed it there last night once we figured out what was wrong with it... wasnt anything major just the braket and coolant line was in such a hard place to get to thats why it took so damn long

[01F4izzy]

ohh ic.

[daytonadad]

that race was decent i wonder if it would have been any closer with my bike?

[The Reaper]

No offense intended but..
I Doubt it your bike has less power than mine when it was stock and it weighs slightly more at 363lbs dry. We can race if you want though :D


Daytona 675 specs :)
11.93 seconds 1/4 mile acceleration, Power, 97.6bhp. Torque, 47ftlb

[daytonadad]

i never said it was faster i was just pondering outloud i dont race much its mostly a daily driver for me

[The Reaper]

Right on. I was reading that after I posted it. Hopefully I didn't come off wrong I was being sincere. You do have a damn nice looking bike though.

BWAAH?!?!? 97.6 bhp? and 47 ftlbs?

Those both say around 123bhp and 53 ftlbs. I have always heard they had around 123 and 53 for numbers.

My number was to the wheel I found.

The numbers I posted were to the wheel for a 2006 model

[triumph955i]

Where did you find those numbers? Every site I go to gives my BHP and its 123.

Edit:
bhp- brake horse power- measures engine output without any restrictions.( like alternator, power steering in a car) So its not to the wheel.

Im confused as fuck right now... :D

[daytonadad]

either way i will run you some time i would like to get on the throttle again

[The Reaper]

You do know what BHP is right? For example my 07 ZX6R was rated at 131 BHP and it put down 98.5HP on the dyno at dynosport stock.

My bhp stock. http://www.motorcyclists-online.com/o1_ ... eview.html (http://www.motorcyclists-online.com/o1_562_2007-Kawasaki-ZX6R-review.html)

BHP is Brake Horsepower...It's the horsepower at the crankshaft

WHP is Wheel Horsepower...It's the power that actually gets to the wheels...From BHP to WHP there is usually about a 15% power loss

[The Reaper]

either way i will run you some time i would like to get on the throttle again

Sounds good man. I'll race you before I install the other sprocket. Join the top 10 and call me out.

[triumph955i]

yes I know what bhp is and I know what whp is.
15% makes it out to be 103whp.
Im supposed to be studying so I have a calculator right here. :lol:

Read my edited above post for comparision numbers mine was rated 131BHP stock and dynod 98.5HP stock.

[triumph955i]

so 25% power loss????
That seems ridiculously high for a bike.
I realize power loss in inevitable but still

[The Reaper]

Yea must be. Sucks man.

[triumph955i]

Wow dude thats gay. I never realized it was 25% haha my bike is gunna have like 90whp :lol:

[The Reaper]

Yea I am just gonna guess that the chain is very parasitic combined with the gearbox also.

[triumph955i]

hmm I need to get my bike on the dyno and see what it puts down. You said it was 50 bucks?

[The Reaper]

You can usually talk Dan into $30. Tell him Josh from SCR sent you.

[triumph955i]

Alright, will do. Set it up by appointment I'm assuming.

[03yamahar1]

yea just call him sometime and set it up... why race the 600... you can call me out... :twisted: i wanna race more now.... i had fun the other day

[triumph955i]

I have a feeling my daytona is going to get beat by a lot of the 600's on this site. its 8 years old now and bikes in general have advanced so much. We shall see though, I think the only thing its got going for it is torque. :lol:

[daytonadad]

^ I have a turbo the knowledge and tools do you want a little boost

[The Reaper]

yea just call him sometime and set it up... why race the 600... you can call me out... :twisted: i wanna race more now.... i had fun the other day

lol beat my 600 by a couple bikes and now your the man ;)

We shall rematch once I get my new gearing installed in a few days. Now I will probally top out around 155 I bet but acceleration will be drastically improved.

[triumph955i]

^ I have a turbo the knowledge and tools do you want a little boost

That would be crazy, I would love to do it down the line. Hopefully I can get a good payin job over the summer to buy performance parts for my bike. I think Im gunna start with little shit and if its not enough then I will think about turbo.

[daytonadad]

I would put it on my 675 but I still has the factory warranty

[The Reaper]

I would put it on my 675 but I still has the factory warranty

That's the same boat I am in. I have done all mods that don't void the three year warranty. The only thing I have left to do is install my power commander and get it tuned once I get my sprocket installed.

[triumph955i]

damn those warranty!! I have never owned a car/bike that has had a warranty :lol:

[daytonadad]

damn I wish I had the money to mod my bike I just need a roomate that would help

[03yamahar1]

lol josh im just messing around... minus the whole launch our bikes are pretty much the same except when we get to like what 140... but for somereason i pulled a couple lengths off the line... i thought you were really going to rape me though... but like we established were no hibs when it come to launching but with me and you racing each other as much as i think we will be.. we should have our launches down good by mid summer... then its all who has more power...lol well damn you and your lighter bike to..
