there are also different dyno methods

from my understanding if you use friction dyno you are measuring torque and then calculating the HP using a simple math formula

measuring the torque is where the problems lie

you have to overcome the inertia of the friction bed before you get accurate torque

problem is all your gears are torque multiplies, you also have a final drive gear which is another torque multiplier

so the 2 torque multipliers x inertial loss just to measure the torque already introduces a lot of mistakes

then you have to calculate HP

then you still want to guestimate crank HP? forget it!
