As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!
Dynojet in Vegas I assume is a five star service
they were saving your tires more than likely ?
Have drag raced my buddy on his WR 450 many times and HP isn't too far behind a MX bike once uncorked . Really nice offroad powerband and good crank mass for lugging down on the bottom end . It's torque leverages it hp really well ! Not faster than iether of my bike though
No, they thought it was the only way to get accurate results, they do that to all the bikes they dyno.Dynojet in Vegas I assume is a five star service
Atleast we gained some knowledge on the map 3 , I don't think the air/fuel ratio and rev limiter has anything to do with the tire

Proof once again, I should not wake up and start posting at 2am!
She pokes good on bottom
so you know , I had my airfilter tray completely out where the intake boot was fully exposed to get my dyno numbers. Airbox mod is 2-3 HP on our bikes.
good to know!She pokes good on bottom
Torque is a real thing whereas HP is a calculation based on torque (RPM * T) / 5252.Torque and HP is kinda hard to interpret as far as feeling of the bike.
Torque revolves more around the acceleration?? And HP is actual power?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but say for example --- a Tractor -- will have low torque but very high HP. It will go slow acceleration but has high HP it can tow or pull very heavy loads. A dirt bike will have decent HP but very high Torque - so it's accelerating very quickly in comparison to the tractor - but will not be able to pull or tow heavy loads (as they shouldn't doh!)...

The best way to describe the torque / hp partnership as it was explained to me years ago. Torque gets it there and HP keeps it there. ... Example: a 500hp big rig might have 2600 ft-lbs torque . While a 2t CR 250r might have 40hp and 15 ft-lbs torque. Torque = controlTorque and HP is kinda hard to interpret as far as feeling of the bike.

With filter in it was around 44.5 !
Your Yamaha is carbureted, and therefore will use more fuel when operating. Also there is usually a large difference between rated horsepower at the crankshaft and that of which is actually at the rear wheel. The MY12 Yamaha wr450 and the TE449 were nearly identical off the dyno. But the characteristics of two engines of similar hp can be very dissimilar. A typical KTM has a tremendous amount of torque, while the Husqvarna has a less torque, may have a much higher rate of acceleration. Because horsepower is a function of torque and acceleration, horsepower can be shown in equivalence between two very different engines.
They claim the new 310R puts out 37.8hp, but in reality, I'm guessing no more than 29hp (18ftlbs) at the tire. A stock te449 puts 30.4hp (23.3ftlbs) to the rear tire.
