Thanks heaps Flywheels - it was a great day.
And thanks for sorting out my throttle grip - it must've been slipping gradually enough that I didn't notice it happening (and nobody noticed when it recently had a service, either), but you guys picked it up immediately and fixed it. Huge thanks - the whole way home I was enjoying the hell out of accelerating, the difference it made in the amount of effort required to turn the throttle was amazing - my baby felt so much lighter and quicker off the mark!

Sitting on that 10 was so tempting... I might be coming down with a serious case of the "I wanna 10" posting disease

I'm convinced the dyno 'wore out' as the day progressed, giving inaccurate and slower readings from around lunchtime...

Yep, a great day was put on by the guys at Flywheels.
We arrived to the smell of freshly cooking egg and bacon rolls, this was soon overtaken by the smell of exhaust fumes and the sound of Kawasaki's hitting the rev limiter... some if which, I'm sure had never been near before.
Then it was snags and steaks for lunch to the tune of high revving kwakas and ended with a fantastic raffle of prizes donated by the guys at Flywheels.
Everyone (who hung around) walked out with not only a dyno run but a prize ranging from Flywheels caps, rego holders, Kawasaki watches, Kawasaki floor mats and bike detailing.
Thankyou very much to Ron, Nick, Craig and the other guys at Flywheels for putting this is on, it is was much appreciated.

My bikes, well the 750 didn't blow up so that was relief.
I was a little apprehensive about how the 7 would go due to the year of constant problems I've had, so I was quite worried about how it would go on the dyno.. I was also worried it about bouncing of the limiter as it has race kit igniter and wasn't sure where the limiter was. I watched the tacho go well over redline and Ron kept going until he found the limiter.. I think it was just short of 14,000.
I had taken the clutch cover off the week before and while doing so, oil had dropped onto the headers and coated them, so when the bike got hot in the dyno room, smoke started coming of the headers and filled the room, I think it set the smoke alarm off.
Anyway, the run looked OK and the fuelling is about right with not to many dips, although it makes stuff all power until 7000 rpm and then screems its tits of till 12,000... Not huge power but OK for a fairly stock engine.. - More than a 636..
The 10 did ok and was the highest of all of them there, but it did show up some tweaking of the pc3 could improve it a little so it will be back there in a couple of weeks.

A huge thanks to all the guys at Flywheels for putting on such an awesome day Was well worth dragging my arse out of bed so early for!

Good to catch up with the Sydney Crew again. The 636 did alright on the dyno - better than I expected though still a ways behind Cath and Red Dave's but I was expecting that (apparently if I had of adjusted my chain properly I would have got a couple of extra HP Paul reckoned!)

Anyway was a top day, you guys have a great set up out there! When it comes to upgrade time I'll definitely be paying you guys a visit

Thanks to the Flywheels team for their gracious hospitality and the giveaways etc. Great to catch up with everyone again.

Hi Mate, the dyno was spittin' out some strange readings late in the day....could have been a bugged dyno that lead to your numbers.

Nice bike too, very neat.
