i have just purchased a new bb but have to wait to buy mods (pipes, filters etc) but would like more torque. am thinking of dropping a tooth on front sprocket. has anybody done this and how was it? any other cheap go fast tricks?

A few people here have done this, but your speedo will be right up the sh1t. You would probably need a speedo healer (search) to fix this.

Others have said some exhaust mods have enhanced mid range (like full Akra system) try a search on this as well. Lots of info here.

The other is a PC III. Once again, try a search.

Your kidding right?
These things pull like a freight train from start to finish.

Rev it above 7K, come back and let us know what you think. Your arms will be longer..

To answer your question...no, there isn't any "cheap" product out there to gain you torque/hp. Sprockets do okay....but are really limited as to how much of a gain you would get from them. Plus, with new sprockets you should prolly get a new chain. Also, you wont get as good of fuel economy out of it, and aftermarket sprockets dont seem to last as long...unless you are willing to spend a little extra for the better ones. I know, this doesn't really help.....but it is just my two cents.

Going down to a 16t front really isn't going to do anything but make it easier to lift the front end & make your fuel economy shitty. You can have the 16t I used to run if ya want it.

Mine went from 132 HP to 143 with a full Akro system and a PCII. Didn't get the torque numbers as I didn't want to pull the fairing to get to the plug wires.
