I kinda forgot we had this thread LOL
Saturday I removed my rearsets, Barends, Kickstand, and passenger pegs and sent them off to the powdercoater. Should be back by the end of this week! I'm hoping for saturday so that I can go put them on sunday
Damn, I expected the 995 to make more power. That's the same power my 675 makes (Horsepower wise, I have less torque)
Also, are those D3 grips comfortable to ride with Spunky? My brother got them for me for christmas, but i've grown to love the stockers :lol:
I love the D3 grips. I had them on the FZ6R so I went the same way on the Daytona 995I. A little larger in diameter than stock BTW. Went with the fake Pazzo shorty levers too.
It's a 955cc FI watercooled engine that has 18K miles and is 12 years old as Marty said.
My MAX is 110 BHP is at 8K RPM....with torque at about 87 at the same RPM.
Compared to the 675, at 8K RPM you are making about 75 HP and 60 ft lbs taken from a dyno with an aftermarket exhaust.
Having to wring out the motor to 12.6 K to get 110 HP is not any different than a R6, CBR, GSXR or any other 4 cyl high RPM bike. To put it into perspective, I have that tractor pulling power at the lower RPMs that attracted me to the FZ6R. I just have a lot more power but basically the same power curve as the FZ6R. It makes it real comfortable to ride in traffic and split lanes. Having a passenger doesn't change the handling or acceleration either as it did on the FZ6R.
Like all factory specs, they usually don't show it on a dyno.
675 specs:
124 hp (92 kW) @ 12,600 rpm
53 lbf·ft (72 N·m) @ 11,700 rpm
955i specs:
130 PS (96 kW or 128 bhp) at 9,900 rpm
100 N·m (74 ft·lbf) at 7,600 rpm
So stock specs indicate almost 1/3 extra torque of a 675...but at a much lower RPM. That's like an electric engine or a steam engine that has maximum torque at any RPM...LOL...crazy, stupid fast acceleration....
Your bike is the sweetest handling thing around BTW:....everyone that has ever rode one just loves them. Super canyon carvers....perfect for Mulholland. (The Snake)
