2016 Planning

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
