Introduction
INTRODUCTION
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Thank you for purchasing the Dynojet Motorcycle Dynamometer. Before installing
your dynamometer (dyno), please take a moment to review the items you will need to
provide for your dyno.
YOUR DYNO ROOM
This section is not meant to imply that a dyno room is essential to repeatable results
on a Dynojet dynamometer. However, a dyno room with an engine cooling intake fan,
exhaust extraction, and noise reduction capabilities can add a new dimension to your
shop.
A proper dyno room design will help to ensure repeatable, accurate runs. A good
dyno room should do the following:
• minimize noise
• provide a controlled environment for testing
• provide a view window for customers
• be designed with safety in mind
Cooling Fan—After building your dyno room, you will need to supply a cooling fan.
The cooling fan supplies air to cool the bike’s engine while supplying fresh oxygen for
you and your bike to breathe. It is a common misconception that you cannot tune a
bike without a large fan simulating exact road conditions; however, a good cooling
fan is the only requirement for consistent diagnostics and tuning.
Exhaust Extraction—An exhaust fan is needed to remove exhaust gasses, especially
carbon monoxide, from the dyno room. Carbon monoxide is extremely harmful to
people if not removed from the room and will affect engine power when mixed with
fresh air.
Equalizer Box—If the air coming into the dyno room is greater than the air leaving
the dyno room, the room will become pressurized. A pressurized dyno room will
make measured power misleading. To compensate, you need an equalizer box. The
equalizer box is a baffled (to reduce noise) vent to the outside of your dyno room.
The size of the equalizer box is dependent on the size of your dyno room and the size
of your fans.

DYNO INSTALLATION AND SETUP
UNCRATE THE DYNO
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Use the following steps to uncrate your dyno. You will need to provide equipment
capable of lifting a minimum of 1600 lb. (725 kg.) to move the crated dyno into
position in your dyno room.
1 Move the crated dyno to a clear area near your dyno room.
2 Remove the three ramp supports and the ramp face. If you ordered your dyno
without a ramp, skip to step 3.
Refer to “Ramp Assembly” on page 1-14 for ramp assembly instructions,

3 Remove the top and sides of the crate.
3a Use a pry bar, or large flat screwdriver, and a hammer to loosen and remove
the top of the crate.
3b Remove the crate braces and sides.
4 Remove the tire carriage. The tire carriage is fastened to the bottom of the crate.

6 Remove the hardware box containing two outrigger bolts and lock washers, the
tire carriage screw handle, and the screw support bracket. Refer to Figure 1-5.
If you ordered a ramp, the hardware box will also contain six carriage bolts, six
flat washers, six lock washers, and six nuts to be used in the ramp installation.
Refer to “Ramp Assembly” on page 1-14 for ramp assembly instructions,

REMOVING THE DYNO FROM THE CRATE
You will need to provide equipment capable of lifting a minimum of 1600 lb.
(725 kg.) to lift the dyno off the crate and into position in your dyno room. You will
also need a pair of straps capable of supporting 1600 lb. (725 kg.) to attach to the
dyno. Dynojet recommends using single loop style straps.
1 Remove the four bolts securing the hood to the dyno and set aside. Prop up the
hood.
2 If present, disconnect the wires to the key switch.
3 Remove the hood from the dyno and set aside.

socket, open or box end wrench.
5 Wrap the single loop straps around the dyno support frame just in front of the
drum.
6 Position the straps as far to the outside of the support frame as possible. Refer to
Figure 1-7 for exact placement.
Note: Exact placement of the loop straps is important. Any other placement could
damage the dyno.

The tire carriage is fastened to the bottom of the crate next to the dyno. Refer to
step 4 on page 1-5 for instructions on removing the tire carriage from the crate.
INSTALLING THE TIRE CARRIAGE
1 Loosen the bolts securing the three carriage clamps and nut block to the top of
the dyno using a 1/2-inch socket, open or box end wrench.

5 Using the hand crank, screw the carriage through the nut block.
6 Install the screw support bracket.
6a Place the belleville washers over the end of the carriage screw. It is
important the belleville washers are installed in the configuration shown in
Figure 1-12.
6b Place the screw support bracket in front of the carriage screw. The two
threaded holes in the bracket should face the two matching holes in the
carriage. Loosely install the two 1/4 x 1/2-inch button-head screws.
6c Before tightening the screws, apply some pressure to the bracket to
compress the belleville washers. The handle should still turn freely, but the
turning force should now be around five to six pounds.
To adjust the force needed to turn the crank handle, adjust the compression
of the belleville washers.
6d Using a 5/32-inch allen wrench, tighten the two button-head screws.
7 Tighten the clamp and nut block bolts with a 1/2-inch wrench.

The pickup card is an electronic circuit board that accurately senses each drum
revolution.
INSTALLING THE PICKUP CARD
1 Locate the pickup card bracket on the right side of the dyno just ahead of the
drum.
2 Install the new pickup card in the notch on the new bracket using two
No. 8 screws and lock washers. Do not tighten, the card must be aligned first
Make sure the side of the card with the optical pickup faces the back of the dyno.

Battery
BATTERY
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
A bike starting system is included with your Dynojet Dynamometer. You will need to
provide an automotive battery to use this system. The dyno is designed to carry a
group 24 series battery with a minimum of 600 cold cranking amps.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY
1 Locate the red battery cable on the inside of the dyno.
2 Place the battery in the battery carrier on the inside of the dyno so the red cable
can reach the positive (+) post on the battery and the black battery cable can
reach the negative (-) post.
3 Secure the red battery cable to the positive (+) battery post.
4 Secure the black battery cable to the negative (-) battery post.
5 Press the starter button to verify that the starter turns the drum correctly.
To prevent possible injury, disconnect the battery before performing any dyno
maintenance or installing any optional accessories.

INSTALLING THE HOOD
1 Make a final inspection of your dyno and verify that all connections are tight.
2 If you have not already done so, connect the battery.
3 Carefully place the hood on the dyno leaving it propped up.
4 Secure the wires to the key switch.
Note: You must have the wires connected and the key installed to operate the
dyno. The orientation of the wires on the key switch is not important.
5 Lower and secure the hood using the four bolts you removed earlier.
Never operate the dyno with this cover removed.

The ramp is assembled by bolting the ramp face, the ramp supports, and the ramp
bracket together.
Note: You will need to supply additional wood screws or nails to secure the ramp
supports to the ramp face.
1 Using the ramp bracket as a template, mark and drill six holes in the ramp face
using a 3/8-inch bit.
2 Secure the ramp face, supports, and bracket using six six-inch carriage bolts, six
flat washers, six lock washers, and six nuts.
3 Make sure the supports are aligned properly with the ramp face and secure the
supports to the ramp face using wood screws or nails.
