ONCE WE HAD THE BASE LINE RUN NUMBERS, WE THEN DRAINED THE TANK AND REFILLED IT WITH SOME GAS WE HAD BROUGHT WITH US, WHICH HAD BEEN DRAINED FROM A BIKE THAT HAD SAT ALL WINTER WITH TWO FITCH UNITS IN THE GAS TANK (REGULAR FUEL BY THE WAY). WE POURED THE FUEL IN AND DROPPED THE FITCH UNITS IN THE TANKS TO GIVE STEVE THE QUICK DEMO ON HOW TO INSTALL THEM...HA HA.
STEVE BEGAN TO CINCH EVERYTHING UP TIGHT SO WE COULD BLAST OLD SILVER UP TO OVER 100 MILES AN HOUR WITHOUT HER BOLTING RIGHT OFF THE DYNO. A COUPLE OF ADJUSTMENTS AND SHE WAS READ TO GO. STEVE JUMPED ON AND RAN HER THROUGH HER PACES. I HAVE TO TELL YOU...FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE NEVER SEEN A DYNO RUN , IT IS QUITE AN EXPERIENCE. YOU DON'T REALIZE JUST HOW LOUD YOUR BIKE IS AT OVER 100 MPH, BUT HERE IT IS RIGHT IN FRONT TO YOU ROARING SO LOUD THE WHOLE BUILDING IS SHAKING !!
THEN I GOT TO TAKE THE DYNO FOR A RUN. WE WANTED TO RUN IT FOR A FEW MINUTES TO GET THE FUEL MIXED WITH ANY THAT WAS LEFT IN THE TANK AND REFILL THE FLOAT BOWL ON THE CARB. IT WAS A BLAST TO RUN HER UP AS YOU WATCHED THE COMPUTER SCREEN GIVING YOU YOUR RPMS AND SPEED.
I MUST SAY THAT WHEN YOU RAN ALONG ABOUT 60 MPH AND THEN DIALED ON HER TO WELL OVER 100 MPH IT FELT VERY MUCH LIKE BEING ON THE ROAD, EXCEPT THE SCENERY DOESN'T CHANGE MUCH...
AFTER A FEW MINTUTES WE FIGURED SHE WAS READY AND I LET STEVE GET BACK ON SO HE COULD RUN THE TEST THE SAME WAY HE HAD THE FIRST ONE. UP TO A ROAR SHE WENT AND THEN AS HE LET HER SLOW DOWN AT HER OWN SPEED THE NUMBERS AND THE CHARTS APPEARED ON THE SCREEN.
LOW AND BEHOLD THE FITCH FUEL CATALYST PREFORMED EXACTLY AS STATED AND PUSHED THE NUMBERS WELL OVER THE ADVERTIZED 2 TO 3 HP INCREASE.
WE THEN SAW A 4.1 HP INCREASE AND 3.3 TORQUE INCREASE. EVEN THE FEEL OF THE BIKE ON THE DYNO AND THE SOUND WAS NOTICABLY DIFFERENT WITH THE FITCH INSTALLED.
NEEDLESS TO SAY EVERYONE WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE RESULTS AND I THINK WE EVEN OPENED A FEW EYES TO THE FACT THAT "THE FITCH FUEL CATALYST" PERFORMS EXACTLY AS ADVERTISED AND ALSO KEEPS OLD FUEL VERY STABLE !! THERE IS NO NEED FOR OTHER FUEL STABILIZERS EVER AGAIN!
Our thanks to Mike and Steve at Toad's Cycle Works for their help. It was a very enjoyable experience...maybe you should try some and I know Toad would be more than happy to run your bike on the Dyno !!
