2 stroke tuning and dyno services
One of the most useful tools we have in our workshop is our Dynamometer. We use it to measure and compare power transfer at different points on the vehicle, thus allowing the engine or transmission to be modified to get more efficient power transfer.
Shiny Red Tuning use the DynaPro S32 model, a small inertia-only type dyno, for use with lower powered machines (up to 50bhp). These dynos are particularly suited for use with mopeds and scooters due to the low drum weight. Eddy brake dynos are more useful for high power motorbikes or when re-mapping ECUs. They are in fact of little use when it comes to setting up carburetted engines. Where small, highly tuned 2 stroke engines are concerned, using an eddy brake runs the risk of putting too much stress on the engine and can easily prove fatal by overloading the engine. Therefore, it is better not to use the eddy brake when tuning high end race spec 2 stroke scooter engines
