I have an 04 sv650s I have a yoshimura race exhaust and a dynojet power commander, anyone know of anything else I can get for it that will give it better performance?

from what ive heard from people in 'the know', ull get far, far more gains in speed and smoothness by going on further training days and the like.

then again, for all i know u could be the next rossi

I'm going to channel The Collected Wisdom of SV Rider for a moment here and say cams and busa pistons with either a skimmed head or layers taken out of the gasket. Maybe a little head work, but nothing massive or expensive.

You don't have the cheap power options that the carbed bike has, you'd probably get a bit of a boost from a carbed model intake cam in the exhaust side but I wouldn't like to speak for how much, or at what cost otherwise. Megacycle, Yoshi and JHS all do cam options that might suit.

You could go with a capacity rise, but that's pricey to do right and potentially risky. Or likewise, high comp (13.5:1 or 13:1) pistons but nobody seems to rate that option- most of the People Who Know would recommend the lighter Busa pistons and a small compression hike over any of those options. But then, it seems a lot of people dismiss the 13:1 out of hand, I've yet to find anyone who's tried it. Looks a good option from the JHS website but a lot of people would say it's too much.

Other than the cheap cam swap I've not done any of this, so understand I'm not making recommendations, just making suggestions.

I wouldn't bother messing around with the engine - it'll just make it unsellable - stick to stuff that can be easily reverted to stock (exhaust, filter, powercommander). Ride it for what it is - a good handling small v-twin, if you're after lots more power maybe it's time for a bigger bike?
