LMAO @ lost 2 stone! Who would have thought you could save money (eating less) and gain pace on your ride at the same time? Nice.

Yes learn to rider faster very good! :clap:

What sort of exhaust have you gone for? Brand wise? Have been looking at Scorpian myself.

I bought a Hiperform full system - not just a can as this makes a lot of difference.

Had to lose some weight anyways and for a low powered moto the 2 stones made a difference!! ;)

The bikesa re tough to get uber power from without spending lots of cash..

I ported my own heads, removed the cam gear train quietening gears and made sure I had new plugs, carbs that worked and are setup etc.

Takes time and ballache...and you could just go and buy a 1000 if you wanted power..but the V4 is special and so rewarding.

The Hiperform system was 107dB at Cadwell on Sunday...lol
