This chapter is divided into the following categories:
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.

This chapter discusses the various optional accessories that are available for the
Dynojet Dynamometer (dyno). For more information about these accessories, please
contact Dynojet’s Product Specialist’s at 1-800-992-3525 for pricing and availability.
This chapter is divided into the following categories:
Depending on your current configuration, there are various optional accessories that
can be added to your Dynojet Dynamometer to meet your individual needs. All of
these options can be added from the factory at the time of original dyno purchase, or
purchased separately and added at any time thereafter. A brief description of these
accessories follows.
Installation instructions for some of these options can be found in this chapter.
Complete installation instruction manuals may also be found by browsing the
Manuals folder on your WinPEP installation CD.Visit the Dynojet web site for more
information about dynamometer accessories and ordering information.
Air or Mechanical Brake—The air brake is an electro-pneumatic braking system
while the mechanical brake is a foot actuated hydraulic brake. Both brakes can be
utilized to quickly slow the drum after a run is complete. This is especially useful for
two-stroke applications when engine compression cannot be used to slow the drum.
Both brakes can greatly speed up the testing process. Refer to “Air Brake” on page 3-4
or “Mechanical Brake” on page 3-29 for installation instructions.
Dual Fan—The dual fan supplies air to cool the bike’s engine. Refer to “Dual Fan” on
page 3-17 for installation instructions.
Eddy Current Brake— The eddy current brake is perfect for engine break-in,
durability testing, and fuel injection mapping. Refer to your WinPEP CD for
installation instructions.
Extended Carriage—The extended carriage option increases the maximum wheel
base (measured from the front of the front wheel to the center of the rear wheel) from
84 inches to 102 inches for testing raked cruisers and drag bikes. Refer to “Extended
Carriage” on page 3-24 for installation instructions.
Fat Boy Adapter—The Fat Boy adapter is necessary when strapping a HarleyDavidson Fat Boy, or any other bike with a solid front wheel, to the carriage of the
dyno. Adapter includes a second ratchet, ratchet strap, double-hook strap, and
necessary fastening hardware. Refer to your WinPEP CD for installation instructions.
High Inertia Drum—The high inertia drum is suggested when testing bikes that
produce more than 250 horsepower at the rear wheel. The extra inertia built into this
special drum adjusts the run time to be equivalent to that of a standard drum with an
average-power motorcycle.
Mobile Base—The mobile base is essential for shops that require maximum flexibility
and mobility. The mobile base allows the dyno to be relocated in a matter of minutes.
Refer to your WinPEP CD for installation instructions.
Monitor Arm—This articulated arm and platform supports the monitor, keyboard,
and mouse in a convenient position for operation while seated on the motorcycle.
Refer to “Monitor Arm” on page 3-34 for installation instructions.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
Optional Accessories Overview
Power Carriage—The power carriage replaces the standard hand crank with an
electrically powered tire carriage allowing you to easily adjust for various wheel base
distances with the press of a button. This option is ideal for dynos that are recessed
where the hand crank is difficult to access. The power carriage will also reduce the
time spent making adjustments for various length motorcycles. Refer to “Power
Carriage” on page 3-37 for installation instructions.
RPM Pickup—The secondary RPM pickup attaches to a spark plug wire to acquire an
RPM signal for the hardware stack.
Trailer Package—The trailer package is a simple and attractive way to make your
dyno portable. Each bolt-on kit includes independent suspension, tires, fenders, tow
hitch, lights, and a license plate bracket. The trailer package is not available for model
250 dynos. Refer to the WinPEP CD for installation instructions.
REMOVINGAND REPLACINGTHE HOOD
Many of the procedures and instructions in this chapter require you to remove and
replace the hood. Refer to the following steps for removing and replacing the hood.
1Remove the hood.
1aRemove the four bolts securing the hood to the dyno and set aside. Prop up
the hood.
1bIf present, disconnect the wires to the key switch.

The air brake is an electro-pneumatic braking system and includes a two button
pendent. The air brake can be utilized to quickly slow the drum after a run is
complete. This is especially useful for two-stroke applications when engine
compression cannot be used to slow the drum. The air brake can also greatly speed
up the testing process.
When upgrading from a mechanical brake, you will no longer use the sample button;
you will need to use the new two button pendant (P/N DC100-104). The new pendant
attaches to the same nine-pin terminal on your hardware stack.
If you purchased your dyno with an air brake assembly, the air brake will already be
installed. You will need to provide an air hose nipple to connect your shop air supply
(80 psi constant line pressure) to the dynamometer. Once air pressure is connected,
the air brake is ready to use.

WIRINGTHE AIR VALVE ASSEMBLY
The wires that attach to the air valve assembly can be attached in two different places
depending on your dyno’s set up. Wire Set Up 1 is generally for older dynos while
Wire Set Up 2 is for newer dynos.
WIRE SET UP 1
This wire set up is used in older dynos that have an exposed (not in a black box)
terminal strip with only eight terminals. If your terminal strip is in a box and has
sixteen terminals, refer to Wire Set Up 2 on page 14.
1Attach the air hose to the coupler and adjust the regulator to 80 psi.
2Run the two black wires from the air valve to the top two terminals on the left
side, refer to Figure 3-19.
3Wire the two black extension leads to the top two terminals on the right side.

FINAL ADJUSTMENTSAND TESTS
1Verify the dyno is set up properly, the hardware stack is powered up and
operational, and the air supply is connected properly.
2Verify the brake is off; the red light on the pendant should be off.
3Fill the master cylinder with DOT 5 brake fluid.
4Open the bleeder valve on the caliper assembly and use the red brake button on
the pendant to activate the brake. You should see fluid and air being purged from
the bleeder valve. Repeat this procedure until the system is completely bled.
5If you find you are not getting sufficient brake performance, adjust the spring rod
nuts to increase the spring pressure.
5aLoosen the jam nut.
5bPlace the jam nut flush with the end of the spring rod and insert a
screwdriver into the slot on the end of the spring rod.
5cTighten the adjuster nut until the springs begin to overcome the force of the
air pushing against them.
5dOnce the adjuster nut is in place, snug the jam nut up to the adjuster nut.
5eTest the brake several more times to verify the brake pads return far enough
to clear the rotor.
6Use the red brake button on the pendant to activate and deactivate the brake.
Listen for air leaks and double check all connections.
7Adjust the clearance between the pads and the rotor by loosening the jam nut and
turning the adjuster nut on the caliper assembly. There should be equal space on
both sides of the rotor. Refer to Figure 3-41 for more information on the caliper
assembly jam and adjuster nuts.
Note: Cycle the brake to verify the brake pads release far enough and do not
touch the rotor. If the pads touch the rotor during a run, the information
provided by the dyno will be inaccurate.
8Replace the hood. Refer to “Removing and Replacing the Hood” on page 3-3.

The mechanical or manual brake is a foot actuated hydraulic brake. The mechanical
brake can be utilized to quickly slow the drum after a run is complete. This is
especially useful for two-stroke applications when engine compression cannot be
used to slow the drum. The brake can also greatly speed up the testing process.
The following installation instructions are for the model 200 dyno; however, the
mechanical brake may be installed on model 100 and 150 dynos with proper
modification. Contact Dynojet Technical Support for more information about model
100 and 150 dyno modifications
