Horsepower ratings

[300 RUM]

Is there a reason why BD doesn't give a HP rating (insurance I'm guessing)? It seems other manufactures don't have a problem doing it. I have an 04 Mastiff with a 107 and have always heard it's around 100 but have never had it dynoed. Can someone shed some light on the subject and if you have any actual HP figures to share that would be nice.

Thanks

I have heard about the 100 mark as well.

I have seen the 107 go from 90hp to 110hp.

I always thought BDM was embarased how little HP/TQ the 2005 and newer BDM bikes made, compaired to displacement. This is mostly caused by EPA requirements. The other problem is that the manufactures that list HP/TQ numbers seem to use different standards to come up with there numbers. So to me the numbers are hard to use because they are not all based from the same standards.

Unless you can find an independent 3rd party to do all the testing I wouldn't put a lot of confidence in the numbers.

Not sure if they are still testing all the bikes but Motorcycle Consumer News Magazine used to be one that I would trust. Mainly because they did there own testing and did not accept advertising money from anyone.

Does any one know about the 07 117 how much power & torque? does any one know if a oil tank temp gauge is available for 07 pitbull

Car manufacturers list HP numbers all the time. Aren't these standardized????

not really, I may be wrong but I think BMW list rear wheel HP

After adding the vance and hines duals they dyno-ed my 07 pitbull with
HP-106.73 Torque-118.05
That's with the 76 main and 31 interm.

My 08 K9 dyno'd at 105.6 HP with 116 T with just the baffles drilled, high flow air filter and factory jets.

The superflow dyno in Tulsa showed about 60hp for a new BD 117 at the rear wheel.
