2014 Lessons Learned 

I only got 89.664 mph but all my calcs suggested that I should have got 100mph+. Here are a list of things to check as the possible cause:

• Calcs wrong
  • Cd calcualted wrong
  • Frontal area calculated wrong
  • Power to overcome drag calculated wrong
• Data wrong
  • get data logging on scoot working and compare to dyno data
• Bad fuel
  • dyno again with fuel used
  • run fuel in road scoot and see if it performs worse
    • Lab Rat test suggests that fuel might be a contributing factor. Testing on the way to work @100km/h temp was 300F (usually it is 320F). It was very smooth with no pinking. Tried winding it out and it was very slow to get to 110 km/h... lets see what the dyno says next...
• Bad aero
  • campare to sitting in the position I actually sat in
• Side Panel (all dyno runs have been done with side panel off)
  • with side panel on carb is restricted
  • negative pressure under sidepanel (and carb) causing power loss
• Other factors
  • rollinig resistance a lot worse than I thought
  • front wheel/salt rubbing on radiator acting as brake
  • clutch slipping

Todo:

• CB radio 
• Data logging system
