Quote:im just debating whether to get the last (apparently) ivans kit on ebay. Am I happy with my stock bike? absolutely. Have I got a decent workshop with light and power to have a day doing it in the winter? No. Ive got a horrible dark cold steel container. Have I got the spare dosh for the kit? Absolutely not, i'm not working full time. Do I need it? probably not, I'm fifty eight fercrissake..But still.....

Presumably more will be available? If not buy it. Buy it now! I have the slip on can jet kit which was fitted by Mike. Basically it gives you a nice big lump of low down grunt that isn’t there on the standard bike, and it gets rid of the horrible surging that plagues the thou at low speed with a small throttle opening (think 30mph in 6[sup]th[/sup] through towns). Oh plus 10bhpish up top. But forget the extra grunt and power (which is nice) it's that it smooths everything out that is the nicest bit.
Quote:I have seen it mentioned on here that the 143 bhp that Yamaha states for a standard Gen 1 power output is bollocks!I think it’s probably stop on, and as others have stated dyno runs have also suggested it is about right.
The four best mods from standard you can do (in my humble opinion), are Ivans jet kit, straight through can (the right length please), AIS removal and aftermarket rear shock.
