Kinda looks like the green is on top till 3500 or so, and the really significant gains are in an RPM range I definitely don't drive in normally. For me, this pipe would have to be matched to an increase in compression.
Kevin,
Were you looking at http://www.uranus.co.uk/1996.jpg ? Maybe the standard bike looks a tiny fraction up on the Renegade system at the bottom end of the graph, but as I've said before on this list, dyno graphs are WOT (Wide Open Throttle) unless otherwise stated, and this is obviously unrealistic for (e.g.) 3,500 rpm in third or fourth gear. Therefore the dyno graph only gives a rough indication as to likely part-throttle performance. Like most dyno graphs this one barely extends below 3,000 r.p.m., but around town this is where the engine is most of the time. In practice the Renegade pipe gives a modest but noticeable improvement in part-throttle low r.p.m. performance, e.g. typical urban and tight twisty road riding. An increase in C.R. would no doubt have the same benefits/drawbacks with the Renegade pipe as with the original system. ============================== David Thurgate (for Name-Shop) http://www.name-shop.co.uk/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] +44 [0]20 77035349 +44 [0]794 1158849
