Dyno run video

Trigger:
I don't know why people do this. A friend has a dyno set up and blows up at least one engine a week. It is the shock on the customers face when this all goes wrong and Ralph just says, well you just paid me to do it.
If I want to go faster, I take out a faster bike ;)

royhall:
That video is scary. Unless your blowing 100 mph cold air over the front of the bike it's going to drastically overheat. BOOM. Utter madness using those cheap diy Dyno's. Spoke to a guy who uses similar gear about it, he said almost the same as Trigger one engine a fortnight. Decided not to bother at that point.

paulbaker1954:
Completely agree with Roy and Trigger. If you are racing competitively that's one thing - in which case use a proper dyno with proper engine cooling facilities. I shudder at running an air cooled motor like this without proper cooling, Recipe fpr disaster.

I personally prefer to work with restored originality  and if the bike is running well generally and used for sunny days out and classic shows why risk blowing it up for 5 Hp

If you are classic racing or a power fiend fine by me but use the right equipment and manage risk.

Just my personal view

deltarider:
What is scary about that run or did I miss something? When I did mine, I was surprised to learn that just a small pipe blowing air (and not even that much) was enough.
