82083 gs750 16 valve horsepower?

[zeebandy]

it's hard to find consistent numbers for this online and I tried doing a search here but only found the 8 valve numbers. It looks as though it's around 80 but does anyone have the actual numbers at the crank and rear wheel?

Yes, I see what you mean. Your best bet would be to find a contemporary magazine article.

It looks like http://motorbikearchives.com/ is no longer online. They were a great source for contemporary vintage magazine articles.


Thank you for your indulgence,

You can't trust mfg published info for info like HP. That's why the better motorcycle mags dyno test the vehicles themselves.

Cycle magazine used to dyno all their new bikes. Maybe you can find a copy of an old road test?

If you're out to get True numbers......run it on a Dyno.

There's just no way to get an exact figure from a magazine, or manufacturer.
Every bike runs slightly different.

You're literally playing a guessing game, if you do it any other way.

Thanks for the replies and thanks for the links, BassCliff. I enjoyed reading that article.

Maybe 75????

[zeebandy]

numbers I've seen online range anywhere from 72 to 86. Anyhow, it's not like I'm dying to know, just thought someone might have the 'official' numbers.

I have a dyno run sheet for my 83 750ed some where, I'll see if I can dig it up, but I do remember that mine had 74hp at the rear wheel and around 40 ft lbs of torque. Was dyno'ed on a dynojet 200 dyno back in 96".

Thanks, hjfisk.

I'm going to get my 82 gs750e dyno'd by a pro in a few weeks, I'll be sure to post the results.

I'm having the work done by Mike Witt. he is a Harley guy but still a great guy, really

This is on a related topic of relating speced power to RWHP as you would measure on a dyno.
