power? I have PLENTY for my needs. if I had the power your bikes have, I'd be in jail or dead. I dont think I'm mature enough to own a supersport anything just yet.

I'm not talking about hotrodding the whole engine, but if you're going to do the streetfighter then you gotta at least do some mild tunings.

there is absolutely nothign that CAN be done to increase power that I havent done already.
I've already given it a good complete tuneup, some valve adjustments. any modification beyond a 2:1 header actually REMOVES power from my bike. rejetting is a waste on this bike because it runs just perfect as it is.

not worth it. its got all the power I feel I'm capable of responsibly using. if I sink the money into hotter cams and such, why dont I just go buy an SV? ya know? a decent used 2nd gen one is available usually for under $4k.
