Plus dyno time. This could get you a strong 85-90bhp depending on the optimism of the dyno.

Now you see why people are laughing when you want to add power for £100? There really isn't anything you can do for that price to gain any significant power.

right okay..

Well it was just a question of if it were possible to gain significant power for that amount of cash. But it looks like I clearly can't, so it will need to do for now, ah well.

If you want to add top speed, fold your mirrors in. That'll probably add more mph than a few hundred quids worth of tuning.


Seriously you've got the wrong bike for top end speed. Any fool can wally the throttle in a straight line.

Yeah, good for straight lines against certain 'boy racer' cars. But when it comes to some corners, they try acting smart and obviously want to win you over it so they can just easily swerve a little making you slow down if the bike is close to them. Usually have a blonde haired girl in the passenger seat, that's when they become dangerous!

Why are they anywhere near you in corners?

OTFP

Usually round about's... if they see me, lets say doing maybe 10mph quicker than you would normally do on a round about on average depending on the ground & weather conditions. The have an 'urge' to pass me going off the same exit & cut infront of me =S

[yorkie_chris]

How long you been riding?

well... done off-road since i was around 11-12. Then on-road started on a 125cc about 3 and a bit years ago then around 2 years ago got the SV650s

I dunno what boy racer cars your on about but iv never had any boy racer with a dustbin for an exhaust and bumpers rubbing on the floor ever come close to me around a round about.... all you want is a better shock and some progresive fork springs dude

Maybe some better tyres would help if you have crap ones fitted now, other than that spend money on handling and otfp.

I have pretty good tyres on it just now, only done around 1000 miles on them. And im fine with the handling considering I can see by the tyres how far I have been leaning on them and it's right at the ridges.

@ stratman_001:

sometimes they are ****ty things, other times I have a Evo 8 up my ass.
