  • New Dynojet Dynamometer Installed

    What is a dynamometer? Also called a “dyno” for short, a motorcycle dynamometer measures torque at the bike's rear wheel. By combining torque with rpm in a calculation it determines the horsepower of the running engine. Recorded measurements at different speeds creates a horsepower curve. Our Dynojet can also measure the air to fuel ratio.

    We have just installed a new Dynojet dynamometer in our service department and with the addition of this diagnostic tool our service department will be able to tune your bike to ride at its absolute highest level of performance.
