performance issues

[kep-up]

A coupla weeks ago I installed a Yoshimura R77 pipe on my 2011 RS-S. Having ridden motorcycles for 50 years and installed and removed aftermarket pipes many times, I figgered it'd be a bit louder and that would be the end of it. Not so much.... there is more performance to be had with the change of pipe. Today I swapped the stock paper air filter for a K&N filter. and there is even more performance to be had with the change of filter. From mid-range through top revs, this is a new machine.

Now to get and install new Progressive suspenders, and I think I'll have the machine I've always wanted. :2excited:

Ooops..!!

sounds more like results than issues. I started stock, then went to a K&N filter, then the hindle pipe, then the JT's Machine Shop air cleaner with a K&N Then the Yoshi R77. Doing it step by step one sees the effect of each. Even the iridium plugs and hi tension wires made a difference. Suspension was another trip. Stock all settings added BajaRon's swaybar (later hiem joints) followed by Pittbull's shock relocators. If I could swing the shocks I would but my RS is tuned in real nice...:thumbup: looks like you are ready for some ryding...hyea:hyea:
