tuonos are sexy bitches, but then so are speed triples

BobtheBiker,

The EX looks sweet with the high exhaust. But what are you going to do about the oomph issue?

BobTheBiker · 07-14-2008, 12:00 AM

power? I have PLENTY for my needs. if I had the power your bikes have, I'd be in jail or dead. I dont think I'm mature enough to own a supersport anything just yet.

I'm not talking about hotrodding the whole engine, but if you're going to do the streetfighter then you gotta at least do some mild tunings.

there is absolutely nothign that CAN be done to increase power that I havent done already.
I've already given it a good complete tuneup, some valve adjustments. any modification beyond a 2:1 header actually REMOVES power from my bike. rejetting is a waste on this bike because it runs just perfect as it is.

Hotter cams and shit. Booku money.

BobTheBiker · 07-15-2008, 01:38 AM

not worth it. its got all the power I feel I'm capable of responsibly using. if I sink the money into hotter cams and such, why dont I just go buy an SV? ya know? a decent used 2nd gen one is available usually for under $4k.

Fuck that, a SF is GREAT at a tight track! Hell the upright position/lack of wind protection is exactly the same as my motard and that thing ROCKS at the track!

Just to update everybody, I'm planning on an 06 GSXR 600 headlight to go onto it. if nothing else, I'll make DAMNED good use of the projector on it.
