I had a bit of a quiet monday morning, it was a beautiful autumn day, decided to take the 907 for its first dyno run
Still remembering the sale pitch from Vince, the Ducati dealer in Ringwood when I bought the bike back in '92...fit the staintune pipes + header, together with the upgraded chip, that should give you an extra 8 something or other (dont remember Kw or Hp)
so I had a figure in my head of at least 85Hp at the rear wheel 
I recently changed the chip, removed the FIM chip and installed the FBF stage one unit, the ferracci chip is very smooth down low in comparison to the FIM unit, as this had a rough behaviour between 2.5 and 3k rpm, but I suspect the FIM chip had greater potential for Hp once you've gone past the 4k mark, and the motor definitely ran richer
The 907 is a great bike, and to me a good smooth torque delivery is most important...leave the Kw's for the young ones
So I rode the bike to Dynobike in Moorabbin and Dave put the bike through its paces right up past redline to 9.5k rpm
and here is the result...a bit disappointing with the Hp...only 72.07 less than their advertized figure
approx 53Kwbut when you look at the torque figure, I think thats quiet impressive (not a high figure but good none the less)...90% reached at only a bit passed 3k to reach a peak of 51.52 at 7k rpm
the other thing I was interested in and someone more qualified can tell me, is the fuel/air ratio
if you look a the next graph it seems to be all over the place and run lean under hard accelleration (13 should be normal) Dave said that the cruising speed reading is more important
so he took the bike through the revs at cruising speed (slow accelleration) and the reading between 2k and 7k was constant on approx 13.7 see next pic...a bit lean but should I be concerned or thats not too bad
any replys would be appreciated
In my case I have 3 masters degree type engineers just to keep up with the standards we must adhere to. Not to mention the others that do the development end of things, the real experts!!! My job,lucky me is to figure out how to do it. WTF was I thinking when I took this J.O.B.
