I get about 20 hp as I generally keep the RPMs low.

The question is better asked 'How much torque'?
Then ya don't feel so wimpy w/ the crotch-rocketeers.
Perhaps in my case - crotchety-rocketeer.

Speaking of horsepower, does anyone know how to convert CC's into horsepower? I've been told a few times but can never remember.

i believe converting cubic centimeters to torque is like comparing apple and oranges.
cc's have to do with volume, torque is a measurment of power. a 250 with 4cylinders most likley has less torque that a 250 thumper.

Torque is a twisting force. It is developed by the pressure of the expanding combustion gasses pressing down on the surface area of the piston multiplied by the length of the crank throw.
Between a four and a single of the same displacement, the four has less surface area and a shorter stroke resulting in far less torque. However this torque comes four times as often as with the single.
The four-cylinder gives four little shoves.
The single gives a massive kick.

That I get a kick out of you."

Hey again,
If you converted the cubic centimeters in to cubic inches then couldn't you figure your torque or horsepower from that? Just a theory, not sure.

The Rebel 250 is a 248cc 2 cylinder that makes 15 hp.
The Ninja 250 is a 248cc 2 cylinder that makes 38 hp.
Power output cannot be determined from displacement alone.

Post Dynojet kit KLX made 40 ft.lbs and 40 bhp, since then I've itted a keihin FCR41 (measures 42mm), a custom made header (41mm i.d.) and a big bore glasspack muffler, definately better.
