True. Triumph figures are at the crank. Stock at the wheel is about 120bhp and 123ft / lbs, ish.
Thats just what the tech was saying, in fact the published numbers from Triumph is an average of many engines tested by the factory. He was very proud of himself for getting another 9 hp and 9 ft lbs by flattening out the "bumps" in the fuel/air numbers. (I kept my mouth shut about "US" getting the other 30 or so)
The trans and pump noise I'm speaking of is clacking from the front of the trans while decelerating in lower gears with the clutch pulled in, and squeeling from the water pump. I swear it sounds just like a chunk of tooth is missing from a gear. The water pump noise is just a bushing or something along those lines. Its the transmission I'm worried about, the noise is bad enough I can feel it in the seat. They say they can't hear it, more like they have no clue and don't want to tear into it to find out.
I thought I heard a skeptic about my numbers out there, no matter ... I was just trying to say thank's for the tips and help with all the ideas I found here and let everyone know that they work and I appreciate it. I didn't know there was a contest.
I'm just repeating what the tech told me and what the dyno sheet says. Those numbers were the best of the three pulls and not the average, so I suppose you can waggle a finger at me for that.
The bill .... (we were talking about that in another thread) my 10k service was about $350 and tune was $250. They whacked me an extra 1/2 hour because they said I had extra wiring under the tank from lights, GiPro and stuff. (most of the lights don't work now so I'll have to take it apart and find out what they forgot to hook back up) There was no need for a valve adjustment since they were all in spec ranging from .12 to .18 (or was that .012 - .018, I don't remember right off), anyway I guess I saved some money there. I
still feel like something got broke off in my ass! This is in Dover Delaware so how does that compare to you guys not forced to endure the high cost of the east coast? I realize that there is the additional cost of having it dyno tuned, but still ... seems like we are getting into Mercedes like service costs. It is pretty close to the wifes benz's services, maybe because it's about as big?
Basically it was just an in depth oil change while running a feeler gauge around the cam.
Thanks again to you guys who helped me do the mods, I'll try to do the same for the next guy.
