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
how to maximize the potential of my srad?

i know i have much room to improve my riding skills. i am far from the best rider out here and i know that, i just don't appreciate people talking down about the way i ride without seeing it first hand and when all i did was ask a simple question about my bike. and also i don't like the idea of a track. i like riding in traffic, not gridlock, but cars on the rode. i like the adrenaline of bobbing and weaving at high speeds on the parkway, the feeling of never knowing who's going where and always looking out idk i might be weird but i like city riding. i feel the track would be a waste of time for me cuz i would just be going around a track over and over with nothing but other bikes around. but i might try going to the track someday maybe i might like it who knows

Best advice I was ever given ....
Don't try to make your bike faster until you learn how to ride it faster.
I am not saying you don't have skills but your bike is not the weak link (unless its broken)
Everyone can always improve ... me too

Probably not going to get much love around here then.......you're basically the kind of rider perpetuating the stereotype that most of us all hate.

Wow. I've been on vacation for a week and this is the first thread I read. Even if your on the throttle stop in the straights doesn't mean you need more power. Besides what you have already done your going to need to open up the engine. Or you could just slap a 100 shot of nos and call it a day. Nos man. Nos. Or you could do it the right way and learn to use the bike to it's fullest potential.

why would i be a stereotype that everyone hates. just because i don't like the track:wtf?????? can you PLEASE elaborate on that i don't understand that if thats what you mean?? i should have never stated my "AWESOMELY AWESOME STATS" that seemed not on topic and im sorry. i just wanted to know if there was anything that i didn't think of and with your responses i got pissed when i started getting bashed so i lost my temper and acted like a jackass i would like to apologize to everyone.
because if you ride as you claim then you ride like an idot. people see you and think everyone on a sport bike is an idiot just like you.. but also if you ride like you claim you will go down soon and hopefully you just kill yourself not a car full of a family. And maybe we can nominate you for a Darwin Award and get some spare parts too

TT, the timing was too perfect. I read this post before leaving work, when at home after working on my Hawk I saw that video... This post came to mind right a way! Great timing. LMAO

lol whoever made it has some issues but then again it was funny. they oviously may have overheard some bad advive at the track. funny the guys would tell my gf how the ex500 was more than enough for the track.. once we showed up again and again, then finally with her r6 they seemed a bit more receptive.. lol we now seem to fit in with the 40 plus racers not the young guns that where big sunglasses and seem to cool to even hang with themselves.

The guy who made it rides track with me a lot. More so when I was at the track more.. lol
He has taken lessons from me and the school I was working with. We have heard a lot of funny comments over time, I think someone just pushed him over the edge. lol
