I am not a member of that site. How much did it make?

I'm guessing it started at around 36hp and ended about 39.5 from the graph. Not too impressive.

Thanks guys, and yes that is very unimpressive. Doesnt a stock dale have like 37?

Yes now keep in mind though this was run with knobbies.Still they must have either really detuned it or HP numbers on KTM bike dont equal HP in a quad.

There is a Dale on Ebay with a KTM525 on it I believe. It is near me and I considered buying it, but not with 40 hp. Thats a joke.

A good friend has one and I think that chart is a little off. He can keep up with me in a straight on drag race in most rpm ranges. He is especially hot out of the hole. Remember that beast weighs a whole lot more than our bikes too.... I don't know how much HP they have, but I definitely think the chart is not accurate due to grip like C27 said or the dyno is not accurate to what we have been using....

I am not so sure it is that far off.Been looking at Bike -vs-Quad charts and on all with same basic motor it is about a 10hp loss when same motor is put in quad.Kdeal independent rear suspension probably accounts for holeshot ability.Would think traction would be better?

Those numbers are not very impressive at all, thats a 525cc engine right? I think the 500cc Predator puts out around 43rwhp stock.

Knobbies rob 5hp. Remember it's still corked up. I'm sure I will see a few at the mtn in two weeks when I go.. I'll race one if possible w/ helmet cam..
