87 Octane Fuel runs better than 93 octane fuel. |
False. They
are very close. Testing
has revealed that 93 Octane fuel consistently makes slightly more
horsepower. |

The EXUP valve enhances
the bottom end torque and performance of the bike. |
False. After
further testing, I have came to the conclusion the bike runs much better
with the valve fully open. See the charts. I will let you guess as to which
line represents the closed EXUP valve. The O2 chart shows how rich the
bike is when the EXUP is closed. The dashed line is the open EXUP run. |

Gain of HP by removing the entire Air Box and
just bolting down the stubby velocity stacks. |
True.
The entire OEM Air Box was removed and the stubby OEM velocity
stacks bolted back down atop the throttle bodies. The bike pulled
191.4rwhp. There are extenuating circumstances. |

Gain of HP by removing the top of the Air Box. |
True. The
top of the OEM Air Box was removed exposing the velocity stacks to open air.
A dyno run was then performed and the bike made a 7
HP increase. **Note- A static dyno test does not take Ram-Air into
consideration.** |

Top Speed of the VMX17Y(C) is 162 MPH with the speed limit removed. |
False.
When the speed limit is properly bypassed, the recorded speed was 168.2 MPH
with a well strapped bike and worn stock tire. The bike hit the hard
rev limit at 10,000 RPM. 170 MPH is not out of the question with new a OEM
tire. Put that in your Wiki (and smoke it).
