Dyno Wars: 2022 V4S vs 2021 Aprilia RSV4

Ducati Forum

Help Support Ducati Forum:

I’m pretty sure the Ducati rear tire was touching the dyno at full power. If not, then the rear tire was slipping on the roller to leave a streak around the center of the tire. He also used the STD correction factor on both bikes which is fine as most who show dyno numbers do to show a bit more power than the SAE correction factor does.
 
Something is messed up with this dyno run. The dyno chart of the Panigale ends at slightly above 12k and does a strange spike at the end. The bike should rev to 15k in 6th and 14.5 in the lower gears.

Like ricks 😂
Isn’t that done to make it look like it’s making power all the way to the top rather than showing where peak power is and it taper off to the limiter 🤷🏼‍♂️
 
Thanks for all the comments. I'll respond as best as I can. This is my first Dyno run on any bike, so bear with me.

The YouTube Video has a legend (which you can see by clicking on "more"). The legend shows you the exact places in the video where the various highlights are, such that you don't have to see the whole video. For example, the dyno runs for the Aprilia start at 3:38 and the summary results are at 6:36 (203/89). Likewise, the dyno runs for the Ducati start at 8:15 and results are summarized at 10:19 (204/87).

The Ducati gave us some problems, mostly because neither of us quite knew how to get it prepared (it's a new bike). For the first run, I turned off the TC, AWC, etc., via the settings menu, but it gave us an ABS error code and registered only 140 HP. We thought the tire was slipping and tied it down more for the 2nd run, to no avail. Then I remembered reading somewhere that the rear wheel speed sensor needs to be removed, and that's what we did for the 3rd and final run, but we left the tire tightened down like that. And yes...it left a streak around the center of the tire. That may what @SBK-SP's keen eyes picked up. I did ask David about the spike in the end, but he said that that happens sometimes when the rev limiter kicks in. Oh well! There are plenty of dyno runs and this one is generally consistent with those, so I'm not surprised or disappointed with the final outcome. Thanks for watching!

Mate, you did a good job, well done.

Plenty of people just spend their lives trying to pick holes in your stuff, whilst doing nothing themselves. Don't sweat it. It's usually all they have in their lives.

Keep posting, and keep enjoying your bikes and what you do.

to clarify... did you operate the dyno run yourself? or are they your bikes you took to a dyno?
 
The owner of North Texas Superbikes, Dave Roy, operated the dyno machine. But because he hadn't previously worked on the newer V4s, I assisted with bike setup and dashboard controls.
