gave my baby some head

after a major breakdown on the m40 towards london last year, i finally managed to go to the ace cafe and get some lunch. poor mrs. was slaving away in romsey,s very own superstore. i came back through central london to london eye, hamersmith, m3 and home. well all that stop starting in traffic light city drove me bonkers so on the m3 i opened her up, hem, hem!xxx mph on the clock, before i had to slow down for traffic and gilt. was still accelerating and not reved out. i bought the bike with a scorpion [ i,m told ] stainless race system. since owning the bike i,ve raised the tank on spacers and removed the rubber insulation under tank, pipercross air filter, [ much cheaper than bmc, k & n.} iridium plugs, nikko racing g-pack module, { new on the bay at £25 ]. well those few things seem to have given the bike a new lease of life, the air filter and exhaust responsable for most of it i think. just goes to show that you dont have to spend a lot of money to get a more responsive sv 650.

I'm sure that G pack adds at least 200 bhp

Scorpion don't make a full system AFAIK.

It'd be interesting if you could reverse the changes, one by one, to see which made the biggest difference. Fancy it?

i,m pretty sure its breathing, raised tank allows more air in, less restrictive filter does likewise. gpack may give a bit better acceleration, but not much. bike just seems much stronger.

The only way you'll be certain that all these mods are giving you the extra ponies, is to stick it on a dyno

Yes, he did. But most folk don't polish them.
