just dynoed the 1150

[duaneage]

I saw a test of the 85 1150E 20 years ago in a rag.

126 hp
10.21 1/4 mile
150mph top speed

Your mileage will vary.

Still a scary fast ride you can buy today for about a third of what the new ones cost. That makes it a pretty good deal in my book. And you know your getting a tough as nails motor.

With Skip on my 1150 (when it was his) he got to 6.9 in the 1/8 mile, I think 10.3 was the average on the 1/4 without the nitrous. I never ran the 1/4, but 7.2 was the best I could do on the 1/8.

the pipe is black with soot. so i guess i am runnign rich yeah, but not my bike so i ain't messing with it...

Heard that! The only reason I said that is because there is most likely even more there if it was dialed in correctly. Any way you look at it, a fast fun beast! :twisted:

Yeah, you should know, how's that diesel bike of yours treating you? :twisted:

Sweet, except now you don't have that cool smoke screen option. Maybe you should run an oil line to your exhaust just for old times sake. :lol:

To my exhaust? I was thinking tie it into the vacuum feed for the petcock. Let's get the full affect man :lol: :lol:

Good idea, though, I remember having that happen once when my petcock went, and poured gas in the vacuum, oddly, the bike didn't run very well, but I got some great back fires.

ok, forget about oil burning 1150s for a second please and lets get back on topic...

duaneage: 150 mph is 240 km/h, your specs are out of whack, my 750 reaches those speeds without breaking a sweat (ok, i admit it takes a while to get there and shakes like a maraca)...

if you guys all promise to never tell phil (the bike's owner), or my girlfriend, i'll let you in on a little secret...

phil says he had it to 260 before he got scared...

i had it to 220 and it still pulled as if it were going 50 km/h (1/2 throttle only) and im taslking locomotive sort of pull here... remember the main jet hadnt kicked in yet, i dont think i ever rode that bike on the main jet, but i so wish i could try...

well, i decided to keep on pulling, at 250 i ran out of roads/guts/balls/neck/demerit points/eardrums...
i just gave it time, never went above half throttle...

that helmet sure lifts a lot, i still have the strap marks on my neck...

maybe these specs you're all looking at are at the crank and on paper. the dyno says differently, and dynoes vary, remember that...

i do believe however the bike runs rich and could be tweaked, but, hey, not my bike, i ride it as it is (borrowed) and let me tell you, it's too much bike for any sensible human being (if you need to turbo your busa, you ain't sensible)

the scary bit is my 1100 with a 1150 engine pulls even stronger than this bike... gawd, i cant wait to get rid of the flatspotS (that capital S was on purpose)
ill have less top speed for sure (maybe only 100 hp), but i dont care, my comfort speed is 160 km/h, but !@#!@# that bike gives me whiplash on the pilot jet!!!! (i bet it makes over 80 lbs of torx)
when i get it runnign ill post the dyno results, im anticipating a big fright....

 

[Hoomgar]

naaa, I think your on the right path buddie

Sorry for the thread hijack...


Can't wait to see the dyno results. No fight, but 100hp is pathetic for an 1150. Certainly it will do better than that when you get it right

I am also anxious to get dyno results on my 8 valve 1085 when it is done. I am not going to be happy with double digits. 100 or better.

OK quit being a punk :twisted:

It is making progress, but we should discuss that in it's own thread, I don't want to rattle any cages :lol:

.

Yours is modified so I would espect it to be a LOT faster.

A Friend of mine bought one new in 86. He had it to 158 according to the speedo, but most bike speedos are inaccurate as hell anyway. I rode it a couple if times but found the rear end too easy to break loose. Most of the weight was forward (60/40). WHen he dropped it at 130 MPH it was partially due to the rear wheel unloading when he hit the front brake too hard. Scary is a good description for these models.

Time it on a measured mile (or kilometer) if you want to know for sure. Or check the speedo against roadside markers at 100 kmh. Note engine speed and take it to warp factor 9. Tachometers are probably more accurate than speedometers.

 

[gsBert]

my 750 is stock the frame's an 1100 but the 750 is bone stock and has some miles on it...

i use a properly calibrated bike speedo...

 

[melray]

speedo check

speedo check

a GPS in a map pocket on a tank bag will give super accurate speed readout.

 

[gsBert]

all right mel, it will, over a long distance i guess...
but a bicycle speedo is soooooo much cheaper...

you have a stock 750 motor in an 1100 frame and you are claiming it goes 150 mph? You have any land you want to sell by any chance
