Go Fast

[Mikenz]

Hi... I have a '99 VTR ( fx ).... are there any cheap go fast mods?

Cheapest mods are mini indicators, small number plate and carbon hugger - this combination is good for probably 25bhp and 20lb Ft of torque!

Alternatively less gains can be found with the normal Cans, K&N and re jet - might be good for a 6bhp increase. Although this will be a bit more expensive at over £500 Del had all of these bits for sale - he might still have them - have a look in the For Sale section for a considerable cost saving!

S = (( C * T ) - R ) + F ) - L

or

Speed = ( ( ( Cost * Time ) - Reliability ) + Fines ) - Licence

Cheers

The cheapest go fast mod is, dont eat for a week, & then with weight reduction the bike will go faster & you will also have saved money

Try a smaller front sprocket or/and a larger rear one if you haven't allready!

I have two bros pipes fitted to my toy so I'll now try the starvation for 2 weeks and then go for a ride.
But seriously I went for a ride on my fx , my cousin was on his SP1, we had an awesome ride,shredded tyres and scared locals.
Not to mention the car drivers.

The mod that's made the biggest difference to mine is fitting an RC45 throttle twist grip. Yes really!!
I found with the standard twist grip I wasn't getting the throttle fully open sometimes.
The RC45 one has a 10% larger diameter so less twist gives more opening

Feels like about 15BHP difference for about £8 and half an hours work
