    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I'm pretty much up for anything that will up my performace, I have all the Tools and the Money (its ok if its a Cheap improvement though LOL), Just need to know what I can do to my bike to Make the performance better, and was hoping someone would be able to give me some ideas thanks
 
The VERY first thing to do is to be absolutely certain it is tuned to perfection.
Everything needs to be set up "just so" otherwise you will not be able to gauge any mods properly.
BTW I also include the entire electrical system, as any issue here will effect performance.
I would then look first to ignition, as a juicier spark will make an improvement,a "drop-in" K&N air filter and re-jetting, would be next.
At this point you need to decide just how far you want to go, cause it gets major from here.
Big bores, 4into 1, porting etc.Beware these get expensive fast.
So most importantly ask yourself. Are you better of saving for a larger bike? or do you want to pour money into a bike you are going to be pioneering on, cause most people dont try to mod a 650, so there isn't much available.

I spend very little on my 650 but have it tuned to perfection and I must say for a 650 IT HAULS !$#!!! Like Dink say's, tune it and enjoy it.There is hardly any used aftermarket parts like 4into1"s.I have looked for 2 years.You can buy new from mac if you want to spend 300 bill's.If you want a better ride put progressive springs in the front and some nice shocks in the back like redwings.They will custom fit some for 155 plus shipping.Other than that tune it up and ride the heck out of it.I keep mine completely stock cause it's easier that way.If i were you I would keep it and check into getting something bigger that you can modify like an 850 or a liter bike.
