performance mods? 74bhp
hi guys
i'm looking for sum advice really, i'v got a sv650s sk6 model and wanna improve the peformance from it, i've done sum mods already and it dyno's at 74bhp what i have done is the following, k&n airfilter, airbox mod, cams re-profiled at kent cams and iridium plugs, power commander with custom map, v-stacks and a TRE mod, got a scorpion end can, would like to get my bike up to around 80bhp, mark, i know that i could spend loads on it with very little peformance gain, and i've done the suspention on my bike already got nitron track shock and progressive springs, so looking to make my s.v go as well as it handles, but dont wanna spend stupid money on it, any advice would be fantastic, oh and please don't tell me to just get a sv1000 wanna see what u can do with a 650 , jhc racing recommends a full exaust system, but i love my scorpion end can and it sounds amazing jarrod |

Re: performance mods? 74bhp
You'd probably see a little bit of an increase with a full Akrapovic or M4 race exhaust system.

Re: performance mods? 74bhp
full leo vince tapered system, bored out TB's, use lighter busa pistons with bore hone. not a power gain but lose as much weight as possible
PS wouldn't call the progressive springs sorting the suspension get some cartages or a gsxr or some other front end on there Last edited by barwel1992; 28-11-10 at 01:28 PM. |

Buy another bike, not necessarily an SV1000 As you stated you dont wanna spend stupid money on what you have, then buying bike with more power to start with is IMHO much less trouble and much more cost effective.

Re: performance mods? 74bhp
You don't want to spend much money then forget it
As barwell says. Order I would do them is TBs first, send a set to Zoran in states (twfracing.com/zparts.html), then exhaust, leo or M4 is OK. Leo is better, and they have a sale on. Then pistons and reduce squish a bit. You can also do half of cam swap.

Re: performance mods? 74bhp
Or just don't bother and enjoy the bike. Spend money on suspension.

Re: performance mods? 74bhp
Yeah I also think GSXR front end is way to go.

Re: performance mods? 74bhp
I would go full system first. make use of the mods you've already made and then if you still want more start looking at your TB's
