Best mod for a sportsbike? Pipe, cause standard pipes are just gay.

Best bang for buck mod? Sprockets (gearing).

Best overall mod? Spend some $ on ya suspension.... oh yeah, and rider training but I'm so slow I'm beyond help.

Lol wtf...on a bike there is no such thing

Ooooh and how much for this flux-capacitor thingymejig??

I can make ya one and install it for $10 and a box of bourbs, monkey boy.

Right Dick, this is teh front wheeeeel and this is teh rear wheeeel.. you sit here and you yank this! got it?

Nah mate I think ya lost him... might wanna go over it again.

Sounds like a worthy mod indeed. So have you got a link to where you bought it from? How long did it take to install?

Sorry Zed, can't get them for Honda's.

Suzuki retard the timing in the first 3 gears to try and protect squids from hurting themselves, this little device gets around that giving said squids the power to loop their bike at will. (God knows why suzuki do it to the pos SV's?)

Honda don't retard the timing as they're already gutless.

Haven't bought it yet but I read that K&N, BMC or one of those other brands of air filters can improve performance. Anyone testify to this?

If you notice a power difference after installing a performance filter it's for one of two reasons. Either the old filter was dirty and blocked so bad that the engine couldn't breath, or you're imagining it.

Best of luck Shaun, keep us up to speed with your progress.

Yea, most of the Superbike rounds and a heap of other race meetings all over the country, gunna go finish of my dream!

Good thing is, MOTO-DYNAMIX can now Ship stuff direct to your door from the USA, I will have some one at this end doing the sales of accesories whilst I am over there.

F$%^'n sweet! After reading that Dom Jones report, I can't think of anything cooler than travelling around the US and racing.

All the best

I guess I walked into that!

My Blade ain't gutless btw.

But on a more serious note Dawnrazor, that mod sounds incredible, such a change for so cheap. How is such a thing possible? Why don't the bike companies include it as an option on the higher end sportsbikes?
In other words, what's the downside?

haven't found a downside - maybe I'll use a bit more fuel 'cus i'll be givin git sticks all over the place....

I got mine at colemans, I'm sure it would be cheaper to order it from the website or direct. It took 15 minutes or so, most of that was routing the wiring neatly and deciding where to mount the gear indicator thingy.

I thought that TRE were available for around $30US?

Gear thing would help, had one on my old 250, sorta missed it on the ZXR, now i just count gears on the R6 (when i need to know) which is what the racers do anyway.

How does your gear change display work?

to be honest the gear indicator is a fancy bonus, that just came along with the TRE - I'd have been happy without it as well.

Just curious as why any one would need a gear position display unit? I mean, there is no rule that says you must be in this gear to do this, and I am very sure that you would know if you were reving to high or low

Apart from that, taking yours eyes of the INCOMING is what will Hurt you.

so as I said, Just curious as to why?

as above the GI is a bonus and a gimmic, I bought the unit for the TRE

I popped a BMC in when I put my yoshi pipe on and it makes a big difference, worth getting the fueling remapped by the local dealer as mine ran lean afterwards.

Whats TRE? Would it do anything for my 600? where do I get it and what exactly does it do?

See previous posts

[dawnrazor]

personally i don't think the TRE did fuck all really to my 600. did improve it a touch, but not that much, it did make a huge difference to the fueling on the 1k and the busa tho.

Best bang for buck mod i have done in 2 1/2 years is doing my sprockets(change the gearing)

Hey mate I'm not shitting you, put from standing starts and low rpms in low gears - its a different bike, no question - I used to have a noticable hesitation in the bikes response at low revs/rpm - now its like a rocket off the line. It hasn't added any extra BHP, but just feels like its loosened the whole bike up down low where it was quite lumpy, now its a lot more eager to get up the revs and me into trouble!!!!

Strange my bike ran rich after my pipe and filter

Same fuel is used(i never noticed change in fuel milage after installing mine) But i still don't think its the best mod to do on a 600/750, a 1000+

[dawnrazor]

Mine has always been so hopeless at low low rpms I just thought thats the way it was, I then took another K5 with a micron out and it seemed a bit smoother in the same rev range - I put that down to the pipe, when I put my filter on with stock pipe it ran fine, but the yoshi pipe made it very rough and idol very unevenlycut out alot - a black box rejig sorted that out

will post a picture, once I've given it a wash!!!!!

[Cajun]

yeah i just got a pc3 fitted to mine on saturday to help mine,

mine will get a strip down to nothing and cleaned top to tail, at its 30,000kms service (600kms time)

I thought about a power commander..but decided it was going to be too expensive, especially after the yoshi - maybe later

[Cajun]

yeah well picked up mine second hand, already with a professional map with same mods of mine.

I have been riding around on race exhust for coming up a year now,

[98tls]

The TLs had really bad stutters at low rpms..3-4000..TRE fitted and they dissapeared completly...been having alot of fun mucking about with settings on yosh box...just wish i could afford a full system to make the most of it.

Yep, can vouch for the fact that Zed's Blade is not gutless. Goes quite well actually.

Was thinking of pulling over and letting him pass a few times oon last Saturdays Coro run, but then I thought nah, this is too much fun so he had to suck 1400 fumes for a while.

At least get a dyno baseline run done. Make sure it's not too far out.

That was a great part of the ride, i was more than happy to let you lead thru them hills, part of my fun was watching you throw that machine around the 25 and 35km twisties!
