What if I told you that you were only ever using 90% throttle

A NZ hooligan would have necklaced half a dozen hobbits and set them alight.

Hmmm...but around whose neck would they be placed?

The average rider will very seldom have the throttle open over 20% in fact I would say the 3-10%range is far more realistic.

Hahahahahahahaha, sorry, I couldn't help it, carry on.

We all have our secrets!.

Check this out. Your throttle might be only opening to 90% or a little better (both my engines' throttles are like this)

Will this, if corrected, free up a little more tq/hp on the dyno?

Discuss!

in my opinion, it won't. As you can notice, the blade(s) are getting 'overturned' at 100% throttle and the inside passage dia of the throttlebody is getting smaller...
