Ok, sorry just before then. Mine is still there after adding heavier diaphragm spring. My dip is a lot bigger just wondered if you felt the early one. Looks to be about the same as the 2600 one.

Oh, not a problem, I understand where you're coming from!

This is the 2nd dyno sheet recently that have shown this.   I hope the tuners are telling folks or calling them as they see this vs just sending them out the door

I don't believe I have a clutch issue, what I think is that there could be slippage perhaps (don't know), during the pull.  Dyno Bob, definitely would have told me if he thought there were any issues.  He also test rode the bike, immediately following the dyno as well.

My bike shifts beautifully, high speed or low.   Bob is one of the top tuners in the country.

Something is going on and it "looks" like clutch slippage.   Most of his sheets are very smooth clean lines.  Yours is not.

He should have your run on the computer check out the gear setting instead of HP and take a look.

I agree.  With the smoothing set at the maximum of 5, that chart looks too choppy compared to most of the other charts I've seen from the top notch tuners.  It may or may not be slippage, but something sure doesn't look right.  And yes, Bob is indeed one of those top notch tuners.

I'll check with him!

Bob, says he will do a clutch slip graph, soon as I have time to bring it in (soon)!   It could be slipping but I'm not feeling it.  We'll see what comes out of the graph.

For what it may be worth, I didn't know mine was slipping until I was told by the tuner. But then I wasn't WOT like he was.

The Clutch will slip on the Dyno and not slip on the street...

Good point!

Looks like a little wheel hop on the drum?
Note how hard the torque hits.

Couldn't agree more, I brought my bike all the way up there twice from San Diego for Bob to tune.

Love your bike!   Says a lot when you travel that far to let Bob tune your bike!

Bob's just a great guy (as you know) on top of that!

Just got back from RC Cycles, and Bob did a few pulls when he began concentrating on how the tire was reacting on the drum, particularly when at idle.  He pointed out how the tire was out of round.  I could see it clearly when the bike was at low speed on the drum.

Problem solved!

Without question, Bob is a great tuner....  Attention to detail and a great understanding of tuning...

Bob's a good friend of mine.  We've been friends since long before he even thought of tuning his first motorcycle...

That's going back aways!   Just kidding, but he's a great guy on top of his skills. 

A guy that I highly respect as a person and rider (Police bike instructor and part time drag racer), just happened to come into the shop when Bob was getting ready to tune my bike, and commented what a skilled rider Bob was!  Apparently they were tearing up in the hills, one time and Bob made quite an impression!   Bob is such a modest guy.

I forgot add that Bob commented how well my bike runs, and I was saying yes it's running great.  When your bike runs and shifts great, even in 95 degrees, & on 91 octane, leave it alone!  That's my plan anyhow!
