    Nice result.

    What's happening between 3400rpm and 4600rpm, looks a little choppy to the uninitiated (i.e. like me)?

    I didn't bother to filter the result, it's quite normal. Unfortunately that operation isn't automatic in my dyno like it is in a dyno dynamics or some other RR. It picks up every little fluctuation and amplifies it - the smallest bit of wheel slip or movement under load. Its very annoying but actually very usefull while tuning - it's so sensitive that I can see the beginnings of a misfire, etc. I do wish I could do away with that sensitivity though. It would stop just about everyone asking the same question

    Lol. Apologies Chris.

    I have seen graphs of yours that don't have those sensitivities so I assume the others have had the filter applied.
