For those of us who are carbureted, once the exhaust/intake flows freely, larger jets are the analog equivalent to a tune

[@ap9396]

Spot on with the list Yammie, skills make someone far quicker than anything else. I rode a Duke 200 for a couple of years with a guy who had a Duke 390, after upgrading from a slower bike I am now far more capable after working out how to brake and corner well to keep up with a bike with nearly double the power. Always a better bet to practice on a smaller machine while you save for bigger one, rather than blow money on loud exhausts that piss everyone off!

I hate loud exhaust, but ECU tuning is divine. A lot of factory bikes are nerfed on the ECU side. Adjust it, and you ride wild. Kept the factory pipe, but more horses under my seat.

[@larryechols6606]

It’s a damn good thing that my Moto Guzzi V100S Mandello is good right from the factory because, I like having a warranty. The designers did a great job designing this motorcycle for the way that I ride. I still enjoyed the video.

[@TsugaC]

Solid advice. Might you be inclined to do a segment on the best aftermarket brakes and/or braking systems? Quick acceleration and nimble handling are grand fun, but braking, much less glamorous though it is, can save your life.

[@JasonDudeson]

Its simple, steel braided lines and oem pads.

[@johnhernandez6434]

I have the 2023 MT-10. Leo Vince exhaust, flashed an dyno. Went from 135 at the wheel to 165 to the wheel. Bike gains were huge.

[@KarlBuckley-bw3vc]

I had the first gen FZ-09 BACK IN 2014 and the front springs were made for someone around 160 lbs I think. I'm 190 lbs or so and i got stiffer front springs and it made a massive difference in dive under braking and in corners. I also had the rear shock tuned for my weight.

227 hp Z H2 here.

I ride a klx300 supermoto, dyno'd at 18whp bone stock, custom exhaust, drop in filter and snorkel delete made 28whp. AFR was perfect so I left that alone. Stock sprocket I could finally pull the front wheel up in 2nd. I weigh in at 230lbs and I maxed out my rear spring (I plan to buy a new bike later this year) I can now clutch up in 3rd

[@brummbrumm728]

A good way to increase power would be to reduce the compression space (taller piston/triangular piston heads) and to swap the stock cams to sharper ones, allowing mechanically more air in to the cylinder. With an ECU Tuning (which is needed to keep a good air-fuel-ratio) it would radically increase the hp without having the risk of driving with a turbo

[@S.R.Productions]

Speaking of exhaust, I got a sportster s 1250s and I got a TBR exhaust, 14 lbs difference and it’s considered a slip on

And suspension on the MT09 is the same as the old big Buells - easy to tune - I was taught - so the first thing I did was match the tires - the front to the rear - lol - test ride - raised the forks 14mm in the trees and then tuned from there. Stiff, but still - for an old guy - not far from the edge at all at the tire - and steady as an axe - lol - bit like a Buell. Ha!

[@giovanhagar]

I test rode a MT09 SP and loved the ride and handling. The rear is too stiff on my 2013 Z1000 it needs a better shock but it looks like Ohlins discontinued the one they made for it.

[@alexandrosamanatidis7825]

Handling upgrades are far more important than more power when you reach a certain lvl of power .

I have a small bike. When I was still 65 KG, it kept on throwing me up whenever I hit a bump. Now that I'm 75 KG worth of muscle, the bike no longer throws me up that much whenever I hit a bump. 😂 Adding/losing weight does wonders if we think about it. 😁

unsprung weight are: wheels and fixed -to -wheels rods pulling suspension upwards. i mean lower fork tubes and swingarm. i would even consider springs themselves and few grams of oil in it as an unsprung mass. exhaust is absolutely not an unsprung weight. guess why.

I'm really not a fan of removing catalytic convertors. If I ride behind bikes without them I get very nauseated. It's clear a lot of not so good fumes and particles are now comming out of the engine while before most of it was nicely broken down. So do other road users and nature a favor and just leave it on. And only replace the aft dampener if you want slightly more hp and a lot more noise.

Just buy a motorcycle with more power than you can handle. Then, you do not need to do any costly modifications. He put a muffler on a 400 Ninja, and now everyone gets to hear the lawnmower sound that the stock muffler hid. The power gain is nil. For that, you need to change the air filter and tune the fuel curve for an hp or two. Not worth it imo, due to the cost, and technically illegal to tune or remove the factory exhaust.

Flash on my '23 mt10sp earned me 15-20hp from the bottom to the top of the rev range. All the way across. With the stock exhaust and intake. More importantly, changes to the electronic throttle settings made the bike feel much less notchy - stock, there are all sorts of weird throttle limits, like never giving you past like 35ish percent throttle below 6000rpm, no matter what you do with your wrist.

An ECU tune. Thats all any new bike needs. The majority of other so called "performance parts" are going to accomplish very little before the ECU is tuned to take advantage of them. Combined properly, most modern bikes need very few mods to make them perform adequately for 90% percent of the average riders demands. Beyond that is just chest thumping. I would estimate 75% percent or better of aftermarket "performance" parts, do absolutely nothing to make the bike faster. Louder, uglier, more prone to crumbling into pieces when it falls over? Absolutely! Spend that money squids!
