Ballpark in USD, depending how far you want to go.
Ideal setup, 750+ on shock, 2-300 on GSXR forks and revalve.
Good setup, 100 on shock swap, 250 or so on emulators and springs in front.



So, you haven't revved it above 5500 but you want more power? Try using what you've got first!
Yeah I have had tp rev it past 5500 a coupla times in a few sticky situtations, but I been keeping it in that range becuase of break n period. Also any Man with a set of BALLS would want more powe,r nothing wrong with that and your full of $hit if you think you have enough power and never though about upgrades! you can never have enough POWER...lol.

I have an upgrade for you...
Superglue yourself to the bike until you've past the break-in period.
Then, sit it in 2nd crawling along at 2/3k revs, and twist the trottle fully open until you hit the limiter, and 'then' see if you need more power right now...

Hehehe.
I've gone down route of power upgrades and they're not good value for money, whereas well sorted suspension will let you ride round the outside of the supersport brigade with the throttle pinned.

Any poofter can open throttle in a straight line, men with BALLS go round corners dragging everything on the floor with the back tyre sliding out. BALLS and skills sometimes you can even do that and not fall off!

My bike has more money than is sensible thrown at it in power mods.
For your USD1000 you can have 10% more power or 100% more handling.

Come over here and book yourself a trackday We'll even have a whip round for petrol for you!

Not sure why you quoted me in that tetchy little reply, but I was serious. Flint, North Wales, UK is about 25 miles from where I live - I would introduce myself as I would any other new member of the forum.
