More power

    All of the above replies are about right if you ask me, i wouldn't waste your money, however i kind of guess you want more power out of your bike and will do it anyway (judging by a few of your other threads) no dig here, just a observation
    In which case cams and some dyno time would be your best option , i got kent cams to re work some daytona 675 cams for my street triple and the power gains have been amazing, i don't think i have greatly reduced engine reliability as the rev limit or the compression ratio hasn't been altered , but that don't come cheap!

    What difference did it make?
    More outright power, more useable midrange?
    Btw I think your spot on with the initial assumption.
    Lol.

    Well just using daytoa cams would of gave me power high up in the rev range , thats not what i wanted as the daytona revs higher than the street triple so big gains wouldn't of been as achievable as getting them re worked by kent cams telling them i wanted more midrange power
    I gained 17 bhp and 5ftlb of torque most of it being from 5k upwards

    Are the "RR" cams interchangeable with the "F"?

    I know you have gone for lightweight sprockets. Have you changed the ratios for acceleration?

    There acceleration I beleave although a 900rr cam is £30 and engine is 400

    You say that you have downpipes and an exhaust? Is this a full system or standard with an aftermarket can?

    If you change the exhaust for a race type system I would recommend that you get the jetting sorted by someone like OTC Racing. It takes time and money but you can get decent gains from having the bike setup fuel wise with a complete race system (5 to 10BHP). The only problem is the bike may become horrible to ride at low revs, as you can't get a carb'd bike to run smoothly throughout the rev range.

    Hope that helps.

    No idea there yes it's a full exhaust system and stage 1 jets. It runs fine the general question was is there anything else I can do

    bottom hahahhaha

    The first step if you had the cash is a dyno.
    You have absolutely no idea if the bike is set up correctly other than the
    seat of your pants.

    But.
    As it is the bike will be already fast enough.
    Id concentrate on the free stuff.
    Becoming a smother rider.
    Look at someone like cabernet for instance.
    Think his brera has about half the power of your cbr.

    Save any free cash for more important things.
