Dyno issues
I recently took my stock '07 14 to a Dyno night, the numbers I got weren't terrible but I was expecting more, she turned 157.7hp at 9533rpm's and 86.9lb/ft of torque, those aren't terrible numbers, she does have 14000 miles on the clock, but I don't think the power should have been that low, plus isn't the ram air suppose to give a bit more while she's moving?, how much?.

Since it was a Dyno Night, there should have been several other bikes to compare to. What else was close to your numbers? That would be a better measure.
The 157.7 HP *may* be normal for a 14 on THAT dyno. However, the torque figure appears to be off. Even on a conservative dyno, you should be close to a 100 ft-lbs.

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

Just got my 14, had some mods on it and I pulled the files. Used a map with a similar pipe as a "get me close" map.
Now I want to go and have her Dyno'd and get MY map.
What should I know about "the place" I go to; "the dude' who does it. How much $ to take with me; the different types of dynos;
Basicly I know "jack" about getting done. I know why, and kinda how, but thats it.
I am looking to you, my fellow Ninjnaunts to point me in the correct direction to lauch the rocket in to orbit.
Thanks, Dawg

There was an '07 R1 that got 151hp, a modded Hayabusa that got 156.3hp, it just seems that it's making well below what the magazines get out of them.

Your mods??? Kinda important! If you got a stock 14, 157hp isn't bad. With a Power Commander and good exhaust, those numbers are 10-15hp too low (compared to a '07 R1 and basic modded older 'Busa). Three things to do (in order of simplicity):
1. Reload a baseline map and more importantly calibrate your throttle to the PCIII ONLY after getting it fully warmed up!
2. Make sure your PCIII ground is on the battery, not on the nice convenient bolt located just above the plug. If on the battery, check it for corrosion. Clean it anyways.
3. (do this no matter what with that many miles on it) Change the plugs. For some reason, the 14 seems to have plug issues that cost 10-15hp when they get 'bad'. Still runs fine, just loses some of the top end punch. A bunch of the hardcore racing types on here have found out the hard way about that. As low as 5000 miles and they are done in some cases!

I appreciate that man, I'm actually due to get all that stuff changed, injectors, plugs, etc, I'll run it after the service and see how she does, good to find other 14 owners, not too many of us down here in central FL, it's Hayabusa hell.
