buy the bike if you want it... According to a US website I've just read, they measured it at 34.2 horses. It would be a very arsey copper who quibbled over 1bhp, especially when most Dynos have a tolerance of a few bhp!

An intake restrictor for one would be a stupid O ring with such a large hole that it is more like a circlip!

If I were you, I'd buy it and then put a cable tie around the throttle stop so you can't open the throttle those last couple of MM, and then it should make less than 33bhp... Smile

You shouldn't post the same thread in two different sections.

Confused me for a few seconds

i thought so myself, but a bit of confusion keeps your mind going Laughing

.

i knew it wasnt much more power, and i thought it might have lost that little bit over 33bhp over a few years.

i think ill go or it, and just ride it, its not like i've ever been stopped on the hornet (that i restricted myself).

cheers,

dudeskin

Is it the E or SM model you are looking at?

The E has a little more power, but the SM should be very close to 33hp if not on 33hp or below. I'd get it to a dyno first.

Im sure i heard my S version was just over, like 35-36 bhp

Surely then the SM is too ?

G · The Voice of Reason Joined: 02 Feb 2002 Karma :

The S and SM should make the same power. May be just over, but should be close - will depend on the dyno and many other factors.

Run it on a dyno, £25 could save you £200 for a F1 international restriction kit.

Im just wondering what everyone though of the S model or any really. Just in general, power delivery, acceleration etc etc i think you get the point. I had a go of one which was down geared and it was completely not what i was expecting Neutral

They are alot of fun. I miss mine! They have loads of acceration and will cruise at 65/70. I changed the oil and filter every 1000miles. ( it only takes 1.7l so its not exactly costly) Very Happy

My mate and i went to Ireland last week and did 1000 miles and he was on a drz. So if anyone tells you that 'you cant'. They are a silly tit! Laughing

In fact it was more comfy than my XJR (but i think thats because my seats lost its surport and my legs are a little to long for the bike!)

The drz puts out 35/36! They are just above the limit. Look on ebay. they're are always on for like 20quid, and they are not exactly hard to put in!

Whats greenlining Laughing

What power does the E model put out ? Ive just found out my S engine has been maintained so badly (from previous owners), someone has bodged the cam chain which overtime has broke the valves/seals, and there is a blockage in the water and now the piston and barrel has overheated and is just nackered. On ebay there is a whole E model engine going pretty cheap, so maybe get that one fitted in.

The uses a different carb I think, but shouldn't be too hard to do the swap.
The only makes a few more horsepower than the S - maybe 37/38.

Yea different carb and cams i believe. If i change the engine to an E, but dont fit the bigger carb on it would this cause problems ?

Calm down... expecting a reply in under 30 minutes might be pushing it a bit Smile

.

I expect you could get the old carb to work ok with the new engine, but you'd have to get it setup right (never a bad thing whatever).

Ok thanks. True about the waiting, it was only because i saw everyone replying to the 3 topics about 'what motocross bike', so i knew you were all about still.
