Carpenter 210+ VS 240+ on the street

zenbiker said:

I completely agree with Art here. I consistently get a tad over 40 mpg. at speeds over 80-85 mph. ( with occasional runs into triple digits ) on the interstates with my Carpentered 240 bike. I am using a gallon less than my riding bud who has a stock R3 at each gas stop on long trips. He gets in the low 30s as I used to when my bike was stock ( other than a PC III and Jardines )
I couldn't believe it myself. the engine is a marvel...smooth or smoother than stock, tremendous torque and the increased gas mileage is just a plus I did not expect.
I have not had the balls to use anything but high octane fuel because I did have a problem with pinging under load until I got the timing fully sorted out. I will try it now.

40 mpg at over 85 mph? Must be a magic bike

Yes forced makes for a torque monster

Mine was 200 ftlb @ 2k & 300 ftlb @ 6k TOO MUCH

Have moved on since then

Power needs to be at higher rpms for racing, easier on drivetrain too.
Sh*t I'm beginning to sound like Art

Well, I just read every post in this thread and I'm even more excited to get my bike. I've purchased a 2007 R3 with the 210+ package from Bob Carpenter. It dyno'd at 224 HP and 176 lb.ft. of twist. I had him send the pipe to be polished and it should be ready to ship later this week (fingers crossed.) The bike had 26 miles on the odo prior to the dyno session, so this is pretty much a brand new bike. Bob gave me a killer deal and I'm totally stoked. Now I can turn it into the bike I want. Probably bags, windshield or fairing, floor boards, remove the back seat....

He has 2012 for-sale too if any of you are looking and it has less than 100 miles on the ticker...

BTW -I'm brand new to the R3owners forum. Cheers!

I was curious what numbers the 210 kit was producing and these look awesome. What's the RPM ceiling? 7000?

A lot of money for the extra 19 hp.

I cannot speak to the 210 kit but my Carpenter Kit came in at 243.19 at 8000 rpms and 183.91 ftlbs of torque.
