    Before you go down THIS road.... think on this simple fact, IF you are lucky enough to get say 10% increase in power from an exhaust which is very unlikely... you will hardly notice an extra 3-4 bhp and maybe 1-2ft lbs of torque. Look at expense Vs outcome, you'd be better to leave it standard, ride it for 6-9 months, gain experience, save your money, then look at a 500-650cc which will give you MORE than adequate performance.

    But as usual, what does an old bastard who 'knows jack shit' know anyway?

    I totally agree with Graywolf.
    You will probably also get more money for the bike, and less resistance from prospective buyers, if you are able to sell it in good order with no major modifications on its orginal design.

    I think OP was talking about changing the exhaust note, not increase in power? Doesn't change the LAMS comments but just a point.
