i want to know everything there is to maximize the potential of my srad motor. weight reduction, horsepower, torque and anything that anyone could suggest. i've been toying with the idea of a 1000 motor swap but its quite expensive. so i would like to see what i could to to my bike to get every last drop of power without doing anything a turbo. i don't really want to do motor work like boring and stuff like that but would be willing to listen to anyone who has good stories about it

get cams. Other then that, you talking motor work to make more power. You could also add few more teeth to the rear.

Unless the rider has been maximized, then that is the weak link in the chain so to speak.

Nowhere do i see mention of any mods previously done.
Pipe/power commander/filter are good places to start.
Perhaps some gearing changes according to your riding style and needs.

i have a pc3, full yosh r22, -1/+6 in the rear and a k+n filter and its just not enough anymore. i wanted to see if there were any other options besides buying a 1000 cuz i love my srad. i have had it dynoed it only has 115 at the wheel. i have a friend who has a 96 750 with a full yosh rs3 stage 1 jet kit and a filter and hes got 121 at the wheel. as for the bad rider comments(not trying to be a douche but) i can outride most people i have ridden with in the turns, have beaten newer 600s and 750s and a busa in a drag race and my longest wheelie was 2.2 miles i average a little over a mile nuff said... i have 40000 miles of whooping the shit out of my bike so i might get a little more if i do a valve adjustment and tune up the motor but i was just wondering if anyone had any ideas of what i don't already have done thanks

Drag races & wheelies don't count in this area.
Set your suspension up, get to the circuit, and use your SRAD to its' potential!
These things (the SRAD) corner like f@ck when set up, and still make the same power as the modern 600's and 750's.
Your power seems down a bit. Maybe get a better map?
+6 seems excessive. + 2 or 3 is more than enough from the rear with (maybe) losing a cog at the front also.
go to the track, set your suspension up..... have lots of fun!

Outriding a couple of buddies on the streets of NJ, and riding fast around a track are 2 completely different worlds (I say this because I've heard about 100 people that sound just like you just did up there). Before spending money on your bike I would say go try the track once and find out how little your bike is holding you back.......you'll quickly realize its the other way around.
And have a lot more fun doing it

-1/+3 is a good all around mix from what I have found.
But as for your power, 115 is a bit on the low side (you should be in the 120 area). You might need to just rebuild the bike to freshen her up a bit. Rings and a valve lap... But run a compression test and leak down test to see if the motor is just tired. That might be all it is.
As for the riding, you may think your good, but there is always room to improve. The rider really makes the bike. Sure, pure HP will get you to the end of the straight faster, but sooner or later you still have to turn... Getting better at that will make a huge difference.
I have been able to gain half a straight on newer 1Ks just because I am not slowing down so much for the last turn before the straight.
