It's like warfare that though apparently. Short periods of sheer terror followed by long periods of rebuilding.

Nicely put

I think the best sensible mods you can make are

1. Full Exhaust system
2. Some kind of aftermarket air filter
3. ECU Remap or Power Commander

You're talking what I would consider a large amount of cash to do this though easily over £500 I would have thought.

I never bothered with my SV, I just fitted a race slipon can to make it sound better and left it at that.

Yes it's stupid money.

No point having a power commander though it could save you money on dyno time as you can adjust them yourself AFAIK.

Got a quote a while ago, M4 system for the curvy was going to be £550.


As has been said many times before. Spend the money on suspension.

whats the best slip ons.....
i can always trade for the fat sv1000s...

i saw a nice 'high level' M4 Exhaust on ta inta-web.... any views?

Again it depends on your budget... and what you like the look off...

[yorkie_chris]

There is no best slip-on. They all do the same thing and won't give any extra power.

Best way to maximise HP is to make full use of what you already got available...and the best bit about doing it that way?..... it's free

If you want a fruitier sound, get a Remus Revolution(don't forget to leave the baffle in) and then refer to above

Swap it for a Falco

115BHP at back wheel stock and 125 with a couple of resonably cheap mods... 145BHP & 85ftlb torque at back wheel with 1060cc kit. MUHA HA HA

With stock displacement 80bhp is about peak with cam, TB and exhaust work, plus the fueling sorting with a PCIII.

You can get more, but then you're prodding the bottom end with a big stick

Might be an English bloke as well soon, on the road too!

+1. Do you use all the power of your bike a lot? If so maybe look at getting a new one. If not...

Power gains on a bike like the SV cost a lot for very little noticeable power increase. You may be able to tell people that you have a bike with 5 BHP more, but I doubt you'd actually notice any difference. PBHP (psychological brake horse power) is an entirely different thing however...
