Title: Power problems
Post by: DryRob on 23 November 2012, 06:24:34 pm

Now I know this isn't a Fazer but I seem to be lacking mid ranger power, I've tried everything do you think I need a new engine?

A popular mod is to replace the front sprocket with a smaller one. This will give you more low down grunt. The downside is that the top speed comes down a bit, but really who needs to go at 28mph!

I'd try new rubber before swapping the engine?  :D
 
do your mates find they lack mid range power or is it only when your riding it?  :rollin

If you went 2 teeth bigger on the back sprocket you would shorten the wheel base and make it more responsive at the detriment of stability over poor surfaces

I was thinking some slicks and a stiffer suspension setup might give me faster cornering speed

120 psi on the back and 110 on the front works well on slicks  :lol
