What r some easy upgrades i can do to increase power for my bike?

 

Stage 1: Exhaust, Intake and Tuner

 

Stage 1

 

And not just any Stage I, they are Not all the same.

Check out this REPORT of an overview of Stage I Upgrades.

Do nothing but ride the bike. It doesn't need anymore power, it needs more miles.

Easy upgrades are not very cost effective, learning how to get the most out of what you've got is much more important. Very modest gains are achieved in very narrow rpm ranges. Look at the dyno sheets online, and ask yourself how often do you ride in those rpm ranges.

Just ride.

 

Agreed, there are MANY "easy upgrades" that don't yield much in the way on increased power in the daily riding rpm ranges.

However, a good Stage I Upgrade, which are few and far between, will yield a significant increase in usable power in daily riding rpm ranges.




The above chart shows a 17.5% increase in usable power in the everyday riding RPM ranges. This is from a DK Custom Performance Plus Stage I Upgrade. An easy, relatively inexpensive upgrade that is most definitely felt in every riding conditions.

We talk, everyday, with folks that have done a "stage I" upgrade and can't tell the difference in power....that is because not all Stage I upgrades are the same...in fact, many of them do very little.

 

Stage 1 to Stage 3 is all about acceleration. But street riding a motorcycle is not. If you are traveling through beautiful countryside, taking in the views and the environment, a 5-10% difference in acceleration ability pays little profit for the rider. A rider may remember the view from a mountain road for a lifetime, but it's doubtful that rider will remember the difference in acceleration between stock and stage 1.

If three guys with different stage kits on each of their bikes are all riding on a 300 mile trip together, does anyone think that the stage 3 guy has a better time than stage 2, and stage 1 has a chit time?

I just want to ride. Sometimes I ride a bike with 45hp, sometimes I ride a bike with 145hp, I have a great time on either one. Does it really matter? Not to me.

 

no sir, you are on your own with that one. totally noticeable, not only in performance, but in the overall behavior of the bike. hell i could tell the difference between my hd lean 1200 stage 1 overall performance and after just 1 auto-tune run with the pv.

troof!
