Power!

Just in case you've always wanted to know how much power a well set up (but largely unmodified) 1972 Honda CL175 makes, have I got a treat for you!

Dyno results

I took my racebike to the dyno at Ducati Seattle this weekend, and did a few pulls on the dyno. I wanted to get a snapshot of how the engine is behaving before I go tearing into it this winter to clean a few things up. Specifically, the cam is getting timed, and the head/cylinder interface at least is getting cleaned up, if not actually decked a few thousandths.

I'm undecided on decking the head, because that will involve a whole bunch more work vs. just timing the cam.

Fortunately, I have the CL175 streetbike (which is even now getting a teardown and rebuild) as a test-bed for engine changes. I'm looking forward to some fun this winter.
