I was wondering if anyone has had any dyno time or ride time with the Takegawa 138+R twin spark. Takegawa claims about 20.3HP but they tend to inflate their numbers.
motoxchamp said:14hp!!!??? How lame is that? Doesn't the Daytona DOHC have far more power for a comprable cost? Did you dyno these motors dood or you just have experience with them?
dood said:Out of the box the Daytona only puts out around 14 hp to, but it's all towards the top end of the revs. The 138 had way more bottom than a Daytona and is easier to ride. (because you don't have to keep it on the pipe so much ) It was a customer build so I didn't get a chance to really mess with the engine. I can see another 4 to 5 hp with engine mods, carb and fuel while retaining way more bottom end than a daytona engine.

dood said:Every dyno is different. I've seen some engines make 15 on one dyno and that same day make 12 on another. I've seen street bikes lose 15+ hp going from dyno to dyno. If you are dead set on dynoing an engine always use the same dyno that you started with and just use it for reference.
If you tune your engine to make the most hp on the dyno, it may not be what you want out on the real world.

Are you referring to a klx 138 head? I am talking about a crf 138. If you where able to break past 18hp on a crf motor that's very impressive. I've never heard of numbers that high for the crf bottom end.JJW Designs said:With work.... I could believe it. I was running a 138 Superhead with a bunch of work, and broke past 18HP.

JJW Designs said:Yes, a CRF50 bottom end. It was a $7K engine, so I'm assuming it had some extensive work done to it.
18.6HP, rear wheel, DynoJet.

dood said:How bout 21hp with a CRF based bottom end? And this was with a 119cc engine. Look outside the box.
