Default New to site

Just new to the site and have a few questions I've been looking to ask for a while.
I've done the Gixer rear shock mod on my 2001 curvyS model and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggested road settings for a 12 stone rider. I've also fitted an Art end can and jet kit, timing retard removed and tank raised. I would like some opinions on my next performance upgrade, cams, full system or 700cc kit. I'm more interested in low and midrange grunt than out and out high rev power.
Any help appreciated.

Buy a bigger bike

Seriously this has come up before. Northwind will be along shortly to tell you that.

1. You can use the cams from a pointy in a curvey motor which gives better BHP.
2. That boring it out to 700cc may well blow the bottom end of your motor.
3. You can fiddle about with your carb jets, along with a filter and some tank risers along with a full system will give you more BHP with out doing the bigbore route.

But he's better at this than I am so I'll let him explain.

Welcome to the site.
