The lower mass thing works, but is really only necessary if you are
talking about wringing the last possible ounce of power out of the
beast. You would feel the same apparent increase in acceleration by
going one tooth bigger on the rear sprocket. (i.e. really minimal gain
for the $)

Subject: [ST] Triumph Tuning

I sent an email two days ago, but it appears it never made it thru.

So I'll try again......

I stopped at a local performance shop.  The guys are racers and although
the do work for racers and squids, I asked what can be done to my engine
(besides the expensive turbo) to beef up my HP.

They told me the best bang for my buck is to put on a complete (but
different from OEM) exhaust system.  Not just the Two Bros. slip on I
have now (and tweek the EFI).  A different air filter, a 520 D.I.D.
chain conversion using the 520ZVM2 and change the gearing sprockets to
make less spinning mass to deliver more power to the wheel.

For less than $1000 they claim that all that will give me a 10HP+
increase.  It will be like a totally different bike.

This will probably generate as many opinions as an oil thread, but, any
thoughts on what I'm being told?
