    Deaths Garage!!!!!!! He'll soon have a turbo bolted on for a bigger hp increase than what any other engine tuning will go, reliable????????? maybe not the YZF has seen better days.
    Look at up rating your clutch as well, and watch 2nd gear on them.

    I know this is going to sound strange ,,,but its you you are one of the best ways to get HP from your bike ... ,,,The cheapest most reliable way to get HP ..it make sure the bike is working properly ....as in carbs/injectors balanced ..jetted to suit carb/pipe ...AIRBOX is working properly ..( didnt frosty discover that ,,,no torque off the line due to jetting??)

    THEN chain sprockets/wheel bearing etc ...( I know that sounds boring ,,,but a binding caliper can lose as much HP as a Yoshimura exhaust will gain )

    Is the suspension working .....spring rates correct sags etc....
    THEN after THAT ...go on a diet ...its an good lightening program) soodding difficult if you like beer!!!)
    And AFTER all the above is in order PLAN the improvements ..the cost of HP is an expotential curve ...Talk with Ray clees....... internet ..read ....Form a plan ..

    Then after that go to Ray with your plan AND the ( actual..not what you think..) riding syle you will be doing . Then let him use his experience ,,,

    I know the above may sound patronising and possibly as clear as daylight( obvios...... 16th attempt at spelling that so gave up ) ...but I have seen so many people turn up wanting the top mechanic to make the bike dyno at 150 hp ...when the airbox is missing and the chain is shagged ,,,and discs are warped .....

    Cams are a point ...I have an enfield ,,and the New owners seem to think that the original cams are crap ,,,they are in fact great ,,( if ground correctly ) they just need retiming and a compression increase to overcome cranking losses ,,,instant HP from errr..... 12,5 hp :hbd: to a whopping 25 HP

    So good luck with the search for HP ...but please take your time before reaching into your wallet ....( it was one of these should I or shouldnt I post ..but maybe someone will save some money so I posted )

    Sorry to be a killjoy

    Kind regards Stephen

    Yeah but I think Ray Clee is a bit overkill. Someone like him has top racers banging at his door with blank cheques at the ready so a basic tune up is probably not his scene.

    I think AMPS is a good start. Go for the tried and proven airfilter, jetting, exhaust, dynotune combo and that will satisfy most.

    I know thats why I ummed and ahhhed before posting ,,,,Ive seen many same type of questions pop up here ,,and with a little digging you find its got say pod filters on ...then when you look at said dyno graph afterwards theres a big hole in both owners wallet and torque curve ...

    So ,,,I thought maybe I would just ramble on a bit ,,,,and if it ,made anyone think abit more before making a decision on whom and where and what to do ...then thats cool ,,,so i hit sent button ....

    and boy I can ramble cant I
