Oh that sucks. Take it to VTNZ? they're not as knowledgeable as bike shops.

Now expense spared. Or normal maintenance. Semantics.

Must have been totally fucked before:

Brand new piston and rings not yet run in
Brand new sprockets and renthal chain
Brand new rear disc and pads
Brand new graphics
Brand new pro circuit chamber and pipe
Boyesen RAD Valve
3x twin air air filters

Before and after photos are always welcome

Top 3 items done every year on a competition bike or more if you want to be competitive. All cheapish for a 2 stroke.

The bottom ones most race monkeys would consider imperative. Especially the stickers.

Stickers are know to add up to 5hp if placed in the correct position on the bike.

A lot of people make the mistake of placing them on the swingarm or front forks - this will not assist at all.

To be effective stickers must be placed on the lower fairing or belly-pan. Small ones are acceptable on the tail but this will reduce the hp-gain ratio by between 2 and 2.5%.

It is also acceptable to place your favorite tyre brand sticker on the front guard. You won't gain any hp with this sticker but you will find the front end will turn in slightly quicker.

Helmet stickers mainly assist in distracting other riders, thus having a consequential effect on keeping you ahead of them.

I find that if you place the sticks on your tool box they have the effect of giving the HP to more than one bike. Its effects are slightly diluted as all the bikes have to share but it gives them all the edge

Indeed it is. There's a bloke who races over here, got a shed of modern Jap race bikes, and a pair of 996's.. And a MINT RC30.. Bastard! I did "race" one of his sons on the RC30 around our local circuit on my 996 but yeah, spent most of my time behind it to have a look and a listen (well, that's my excuse)

Meh - spend you money on a V4 Aprilia or Ducati

Honda are dicks. They have the V4 heritage to dive into and the Moto GP bikes but only produce one for a touring bike.
