Is this the restriction symptom

I dunno???
Prolly just the way the dyno guy did his thing.

I spend so little time over 3,500RPM that all those extra horsies would just be standing around the paddock most of the day.

I am the same ,giving me all that power would be like feeding strawberries to pigs, a waste of a good thing! Jamie at the tune centre knows how I ride and set a nice even power/torque tune for me flat max torque around cruise speed 100/110 kph suits an old fart like me, and around 6L per 100 K/s ,the power available is more than enough for me and a noticeable improvement over stock,
but some of the figures the guys are getting are impressive.

Ditto here too, but it sure would be nice to have those ponies when I wanted them!

I been thinking about Carpenter a lot; however, smooth throttle operation is paramount in the twisties.
I am concerned that it would become even more jumpy (torque) especially above 3k rpm, than it is already.

Jeff Cameron's post looks similar to mine.

So then your torque line is going left to right and max torque is at 2700 rpm (the beginning)?
Jeff's torque curve increases to about 3300 rpm before falling off.
Interestingly you both converge at about the same 5300 rpm.
Tripps graph just seems to make more sense to me and again also converges at 5300 rpm.
I wish I understood these graphs better.

5250 rpm is the magic number they always converge there...

If torque and angular speed are known, the power may be calculated. The relationship when using a coherent system of units such as SI a conversion factor has to be included. When torque is in pound-footunits, rotational speed is in rpm and power is required in horsepower the constant being 5250.

Thanks for the response.
What do you mean by "angular speed"?
What is the formula for that calculation with known values of torque, RPM and "angular speed"?

No, no problem, no loss of smoothness at all.
