Yves, flat works too, although a track is best. If you are really consistent then the 1/4 mile sprint gives good before and after info.
Most of us aren't that consistent with the start, so the rolling test is probably better.
Pick a point and roll to it then wick it on and shift at consistent points, say 6500.
Pick a point for end speed( could be a road sign 1/4 mile away, exact distance not important ) and record finishing speed. Use a GPS.
That's really what we're all after with tuning and mods, greater acceleration and speed. Squiggly lines on a dyno sheet are great for discussion but true added road speed means more power, pure and simple.
I realize it is too late for this type of before and after test with your mods.
It would be nice to know what the bike did before and what it does now on the same run.
