Dyno Results from today for 2008 Nomad

[jay02904]

Hello,

I just came back from a Harley Dealer that was having like an open house thing and they were doing Dyno runs for $10 donation to charity. So i figured i would give it a try heres what we got.

2008 Nomad 1600
V&H Pipes
Barons Air Kit
Fi2000 fuel processor
Reed Valve Covers
"Medusa" is gone

Tested in fourth gear did six runs with 66.53hp the highest and 65.66hp the lowest. Torque was 85.38 highest and 84.56 lowest.
Max RPM was 5800 before governor kicked on and max speed was 110mph.

That was the extent of the dyno numbers they provided it wasn't a full blown dyno session. But cool to see.

Any idea what the bike is stock?

I remember reading 1600 stock hp in the upper 50's. Can't remember what max torque was but it had to be less than what your's did. A local independent MC shop charges $40 for 3 pulls along with tweaking the fuel processor. I may let them do it after I install my intake kit. Thanks for posting this information. Not bad numbers.

[jay02904]

thanks, the H-D guy said they were good numbers and that the graph looked nice and consistent.

I think 56hp is stock if I remember correctly, and $40.00 sounds really good to get a bike on the dyno.

[AlabamaNomadRider]

Sounds like your bike ran really good.

oh and 9,100 miles. one guy watching said he hoped i had good oil ha! i just recently switched to mobil 1 10w40 m/c oil and mobil 1 rear diff. 75w90

Dynos are very tough on bikes. I guess that's why most shops want you to sign a waiver of responsibility before they roll it up on the rack.

LOL you have good oil....... That rev limter helps on a dyno run.

Thxs for that info too. My bike is set up much like yours. BTW you got your 10%.

[jay02904]

ha good thx. mac. i appreciate your help along the way getting me there! i have been idle for a month or so, i couldn't ride do to a medical problem. but back riding again which is great. anyways hope all is well up in north country....its getting chilly now break out the cold weather riding gear

[macmac]

Yeah it is cooling down here too. I might need to get a hypercharger for me so I can friggin just breath..... I was being quite about being sick, but now I can't take it anymore and just want to breath.

I got in a few wet miles yesterday, liquid oxygen helps i guess.

[jay02904]

ha nice! i have wanted to come up for one more ride to the white mtns but after my last speeding ticket a couple months ago on the kanc. i might of nh for a bit :)

[jay02904]

Bad Boy Bad Boy whatcha gonna do Bad Boy

The problem was you didn't git me ta' guide! I know where thyem cops hang out in the shade.

You just try some regular old 87 octane too mista! You gonna be building carbon cakes in that theya' engine ifn' ya don't burn the best bang fer the buck!

That should get you a bit better romp n go on that dyno too. 93 octane is for sissies.

[jay02904]

ok will do! i will try 87 because i trust ya, will advise! as for the NHSP those cars just blend in to the damn trees too (green and brown!) o well he was nice enough i guess. so i will get more umphhhh with 87 over 93 ya think?

[macmac]

Yeah, but not enough to feel. With these mods you are running slightly richer than you should, but the 87 should fix that. The more even controlled burn you have with 93 octane is of no use, and will build carbon faster, which no one needs.

87 will blow that out better, and form less of it. The only reason the books say hi test fuels is because the engine were overly lean due to EPA BS.

What octane should be equated to is the compression ratio, and 9.5:1 is not high compression.

9.5:1 is the upper end of middle of the road compression.
