Let's take a look at just how much power a stock KTM 85, husky 85, and gas gas 85 really makes. I've tested almost 20 fresh or new stock bikes in the past year, and they are all really similar (as they should be). Some are better than others, and in this instance we have decided to publish about the best case scenario we see on a new stock 85.

Below is a chart of 4 back to back dyno pulls. As you can see there is a power variation between a few. This is why dyno testing procedures must be understood - and consistent for repeatable testing results. What you will see is that in the case of the current stock 85, it really likes to have some pipe temperature and power improves when hot. On many stock bikes, power gets worse with temp, or shifts to the right with less bottom and mid and more top/over rev.
I've got a little bit of extra information for you as well. Below is the result we got when swapping to an FMF fatty from the stock pipe
As you can see, we got a small but measurable and repeatable improvement in power. I've seen upwards of 2 hp sometimes from stock to aftermarket on these bikes, but not on this one. We will publish a complete pipe showdown shortly so check back soon!
