Curious to know if all of the runs are on the same day with the same rear tire, gasoline, etc....
Changing the rear tire alone can result in a 3-4 horsepower loss (stock OEM tire vs new replacement from a warehouse)
Fuel can also have an effect (summer blends etc)
Not to mention miles and oil...
Great rule of thumb for any dyno testing - SAME DAY, SAME DYNO, SAME OPERATOR
Ryan,
First off, the customer had us put the Alien Head on and rode the bike for 200 miles and decided it was just way to loud for him so he wanted to get the R-77. We had already dyno tuned the Alien Head setup so I figured I'd post both graphs. They were not done on the same day. The conditions were posted and were fairly close other than humidity was a little different which does play some roll in power difference and how the bike reacts. They were run with the same tire (stock for the 08) put on the dyno the same way as we do with every bike we dyno tune and tuned by the same dyno tuner. He was on the same oil, but he did obviously have to use different gas. Miles were within 200 miles of each other.
This wasn't really for a dyno test. I just figured I'd post up the results as I'm sure people wanted to know.

Cool! The results appear to be accurate then!
I know of many instances where guys claim a 9 horsepower increase with Exhaust A vs B... With 3,000 miles difference and 2 tires, swingarm, fuel, etc...
Just looking out for all!
