EMF testing of a 2008 Honda CBR 600rr

In response to the article about motorcycles giving cancer due to EMF radiation exposure I decided to test it out using a iphone 3gs equipped with EMF meter app while filming on a moto droid. I know it's hard to see the reading sometimes but you get the picture.


Ambient was around 25-40 due to our building having cell phone repeaters. The tank seat joint actually brought it down considerably to 8 off and 16 on.


Further back on the seat over the relay areas it jumps up to 60 and over the fuel tank flap over 120. Other areas such as the gauge cluster assembly and wiring by the tank (likey the cause of higher readings) and the grounding bolt located near the kickstand also was close to 100.


Surprisingly the power commander 3 under the passenger seat showed no effect on or off really.
